I know, Helvetica is soooo 2009. But hello 2010, welcome! I hope the year treated you guys well, I know the blog’s been light with content for the holidays but more is soontimes. Enjoy the new year, I know last year was an uncertain one to ring in, but surely 2010 is different.
 
This year I’m opting for a mellow celebration – no crazy outings interlaced with disappointment, no siree! Thanks for the year, what a year it’s been (biggest yet).
 
Blog soon,
Gloria

 
Reviving the past – another from the Impromptu shoot that we did earlier in the year. Nothing like getting nostalgic about the past blindingly fast year. Model: Jenn Bo Benn, Photographer: JWu Photo.
 
PS: Toronto is amazingly small, I knew JWu was back in Toronto, but it took a little sneak-up-behind-in-suburban-mall-yelling-action to realize. So good to see you mate, see you soontimes!

 
This was on a had-to-post basis – KE$HA TIK TOK music video just in time to inspire you for New Years. Enjoy!

 
To embrace my penchant for cuteness and colourful accessories, Dodo Designs chose the opportune time to approach my inbox so I could sift through all the goodies. Sushi, cherries, cupcakes – all solid patterns. Pretty pouches for all occasions (and don’t lie boys – I’m sure you have uses for pouches. But instead, if you’re antsy for one of these, get it for a girl so you’ll have something to smile at). Custom / unique patterns and fabrics are used to create these products of all sizes and varieties. And …

 
Can’t…stop…yelling. But at least it’s hands free. Thanks to Chris I’m the proud owner of this hands free car-clipped blue tooth speakerphone, so I no longer have to fumble while driving or…just not answer for hours. And makes for a lot of: “Hey that girl’s crazy she keeps talking to the sky, freak”.
 
A product of late-night Wal-Mart visiting from holiday season, this wicked device makes for the perfect addition to the Fashion Tech Section of urbanebloc.com (yeah yeah, always thinking content). For under $80.00, this was an easy-install (literally clip-pair-use). …

 
Matte matte matte – it’s literally everywhere, lending itself to so many different types of make up. Knock Out cosmetics produces a line of matte nail polishes that are available at point of purchase in a certain Canadian retailer. I admittedly let my impulsive tendency to buy useless things get the best of me (ack, hey, first step is to address it) and I went home with this as an add on to grabbing a slopping slouchy crop shirt (side note…sorry, I digress). The concept behind these matte polishes is …

 
The Twittersphere is a great place – how else would I have met the lovely Kimberly Mae from v:space Studio? I was sent some beautiful samples of their stunning and graphics-rich creative cards for the season, I wish I was able to post earlier (but due to extreme busy-ness, I wasn’t able to). But if you still have cards to send out or share, then definitely hit them up for these (or look them up during the year whenever you have a little note to send to someone). I really …

 
Noice – a blog / magazine playing host to an event, something that holds true to my heart. Happy Boxing Day with Format Magazine with up to 85% off streetwear oriented collections. Go, if only for the support of the Santa wearing 10deep.

 
If I had room in my wardrobe for more jeans, I’d jump on this (that is, if you’re not on the jeggings trend, which I’ll admit to succumbing to). Over the Rainbow is doing some sweet boxing day deals, here are some more deets:
 

THE DEALS:
50% off all seasonal DENIM styles (All week long LOTS TO CHOOSE FROM!)
30% off all FALL fashion items (men’s & women’s bargains!)
20% off regular stock denim & fashion (Boxing Day ONLY!! SAVE WHILE U CAN!)

 
I’ll be working away on boxing day – so I suggest you …

 
Merry Christmas everybody – hope you’re having a grand one and your holidays are looking bright as ever. Not to provide too much foreshadowing, but look forward to some movement with the blog. Plenty excited to have a week off to relax and amp up for the new year – it’s going to be absolutely…HUGE.
 
xoxo,
