GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD! Now pass me my Mastercard!

Canada is kicking ass at the Olympics! Sure the Americans have more metals but we have more gold and this weekend we are going to finish off by taking Gold in hockey. Do I care are about hockey? Fuck no? Do I care about the Olympics? Even less... but I do love gold shoes so this ladies and gentlemen is my transition... Enjoy! Oh and Go Canada Go!

Between soakers, getting sprayed by passing cars and salt covered jeans, I think we can all agree that slush is possibly the worst thing in the world.  But with Gold Wellies I could maybe learn to love this evil snow/rain mix! Le Chameau Iris Rubber Boots, $119.95



I actually own these flats in black and they are ridiculously comfortable. Jasspeer by Madden Girl $49.90

I am a sucker for shiny/sparkly things... so I squealed like a little schoolgirl when I stumbled on these gold glittery patent leather pumps by Marc Jacob, $183.69



Speaking of shiny Jimmy Choo has dozens of amazing shiny gold patent leather shoes... these gold mirror shoes are gorgeous,  $679.99


And if vintage is more your thing, check out these cute distressed Ginlane Mary Jane pumps by Jessica Simpson, $59.90

Spring is in the air?!

So it's a little late to comment on Groundhog's day given that we are already half way done February but this ridiculously mild weather god me thinking that maybe Wiraton Willie was hung over when he made his prediction! This is good news because shoe trends (much like clothing at American Apparel) do not respect Canadian seasons. Sure in California we can wear open toe booties in February but that doesn't fly here... right? Well this week it's been warm as hell! So I decided to point out some of the key trends for this spring:

Still good from last season.... Zippers, hot gladiator/dominatrix style heels, anything patent leather, over the knee boots and the hidden platform.

New additions this Spring include:

Nude & Blush shades: From peep toe to pumps if there is one staple item this season it's the nude/blush shoe.

Top Right: Terracotta suede 'Madame Claude' d'orsay pumps by Christian Louboutin



Wooden & Cork Heel: I mentioned platforms are still everywhere and this season if they aren't hidden platforms they are wood or cork.

Obnoxious Colours: Radioactive Greens, School-bus Yellows and Hot Pinks... the perfect little party shoe this year is in an obnoxiously bright colour!

Spats or Ankle details: Do it with a bootie or a pump (but beware the cankles). Zoom by Jimmy Choo

Clogs... I am not gonna lie, I hate clogs! Every major fashion magazine is praising their return I am am no so secretly cringing on the inside. I feel it is my duty however to let you know they are trendy this season... may the fashion gods have mercy on my sole! (typo-pun on purpose thank you very much)

Get your heart on...

It's Valentine's Day.... and even though I am not a huge fan on this "holiday" I get excited about cinnamon heart candy, slapping on some rouge, and buying kiddie cards for my friends (love you dollar store)!


This year I am putting on my wellies and going ice fishing... so sadly there won't be any heels today :-(
But a girl can still dream right?

RIP Mr. McQueen

I was shocked this morning to hear that one of my favourite designers Alexander McQueen died today.
The circumstances of his death are still unknown but the 40 year old designer has had a rough few days after the death of his mother last week.

His designs were edgy, unique, and oozed of confidence... The fashion world will miss you :-(

Shall I shop in your honour?! Me thinks yes!

 



I heart equestrian inspired styles and this Horse Shoe Tote Bag is gorgeous! Does anyone have $1600 they can lend me? Please?








You can't go wrong with electric blue patent leather  peep toe shoes (bonus points for having a conned heel)! These shoes are hawt!

Another peep toe but since it's Valentine's Day in two days (and my hubby's birthday today) I thought it was fitting that this shoe features a heart shaped peep toe. Also I am a sucker for details like the yellow sole... no can really see it but I'll know it's there :-)


Last but not least the Union Jack Skull Clutch... weird, dark, and deliciously wonderful. Enjoy

2010 Grammys get the mediocre fashion award!

Never mind the shoes for a moment... this year's Grammy fashions were sad. It's like everyone gave up or lost a bet and was forced to waer whatever peice of crap their stylist drunkenly handed them!

I mean I get it.. I guess. When we think of hot red carpet fashions the Grammys pale in comparison to the Oscars or the Golden Globes but couldn't artists make an effort?!


The Good....

Ok so it's a little ice-capades...but it's cute (and she has killer legs). Lea Michele~ Actor on Glee

Classic and gorgeous from from head to toe! She looks like a yummy vanilla desert!

Keri Hilson~ Recording Artist              

One word... Hot! From her sexy hair and smokey eyes to those awesome red shoes Mrs. Miller gets an A+ Marisa Miller~ Victoria's Secret Model

When you're this hot you don't need a last name I guess... These two are oozing with style! I am a sucker for sequents! Usher & Mya~ Recording Artists                                                         

The Bad...

Remember my sequent comment? I sort of take it back! In my defence I would argue that Katy's dress is more or less covered in fish scales... and much like China town on a hot sunny afternoon... it stinks! As for her financé... I don't know what to say. He looks like a douchebag action figure complete with check hair! Katy Perry & Russell Brand                                                   

Neko Neko Neko.... I like you... and unlike most of the people at the Grammys you have talent. Sadly your voice is not going to help you! Did you even brush your hair today? 

Neko Case~ Recording Artist

So I don't watch Jersey Shore but I still can't escape the hot orange hobbit mess that is Snooki. It's not that what she is wearing is completely horrible... but it's the Grammys, not club night in the Bronx! Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi~ Jersey Shore

The Ugly...

Wow Marilyn Manson looks like shit! Oh wait... it's Lady Gaga! I am not even gonna bother insulting this outfit, instead I am disappointed in Gaga... you're weird we get it... now get over yourself would you? All for all of you who say she is original and I  should give Gaga the tranny love she so deserves, I got two words... Cher & Bjork! They did weird first and better.  Lady Gaga~ Recording Artist

This dress defies explanation... Twitter dress?! Sweet Jesus!                         Imogen Heap~ Recording Artist

Since her music career is going nowhere, Ciara has become a struggling dominatix! Ciara~ Recording Artist

I like Rihanna and she has had a rough year but this dress, hair and makeup are abominations! Come to think of it her style has been going down the toilet for months. How many bird's died for this?!  Rihanna~ Recording Artist
