Are you an espresso mad individual like myself who spurns drip coffee for that beautiful tar shot?  I bet that you’ve been searching endlessly for some designer porcelain to house your favourite morning beverage.  Well search no more.  Illy celebrates a famous artist each and every year by releasing a six cup limited edition collection in their honour.  The latest espresso cup set celebrates the fantastic Spanish director Pedro Almodovar and many of his great films.  My favourite cup in the set has to be the Volver cup featuring the …

 
Kudos to the girl with the most stunningly blown out hair I’ve seen as of late. I dig this perfectly contrasted black and white photo. But not more than her perfectly done frocks.

 
My loves Dragonette is going to be on tour with Little Boots and Fan Death. While Fan Death isn’t as familiar as the other names to me, I’m all to certain that this is going to be a blast of a tour (they’re slated to come to Toronto on April 30th – anyone down?)
 
As if that wasn’t enough to get overexcited when opening my email, I’ve been provided with an amazing remix of Pick Up The Phone by Arithmatix! (I know, there have been way many of them). But trust, …

 
Tik Tok on the clock and the party don’t stop (no, oh oh until 20 minutes later because that’s when it did). The KE$HA Party in Toronto was a little treatlet that was dropped a week before – thanks Sony. While the party was pretty bumping (yes, alongside some sweethearted 16 year olds with KE$HA-like makeup), it ended quickly. Loved the lasers, relished in the ribbon, and giggled at the band. Some good times were had by Wynne and I.
 
Thanks KE$HA! Thanks also for the video that someone managed to …

 
I’m going to confess to two things today. One: I actually like this song. I’m sorry. Trust that it isn’t reflective of my usual tastes. Two: I like what the girl is wearing throughout the video. Whoever thought to mix plaid/flannel with leather? Creative genius.
 
Don’t unsubscribe, please forgive me! I kid. Love.

 
You heard it here (or hear) last – Jay-Z is bomb. I was listening to this song all holiday but was in need of doing further sharing today.
 
I’m blogging quicktimes as I’m off to meet @MyVintageSecret downtown on Bloor for some good vintage shopping. Catch yall Monday!

 
I’m off to see this movie. The September Issue is a fashionista’s must watch for the year. Looks astoundingly entertaining, truth be told.
 
As Jay-Z says, “And the winter gets cold en vogue with your skin out”. Genius.

 
“Jimmy Choo shoes are like crack for women” – Will Lam
 
Summed up just about right – Lenmeister asked me why I didn’t post about the capsule collection that Jimmy Choo did for H&M (released November 14th), and it’s basically because I don’t condone sleeping on the streets for a pair of shoes. That and the collection looked like a bit of painful patent and wasn’t particularly covet worthy on my end. Though admittedly, I did end up accidentally picking up the Jimmy Choo Jumpsuit (I tweeted romper – wild slip …

 
Even if you’ve seen it already, I’m in the business of sharing, so I’m going to share Lady GaGa’s new single (video), BAD ROMANCE. Little repetitive, little overwhelming with the beat and rolling r’s, but does the trick.
 
I’ve been thinking back fondly and reflectively of the last year. One of the shiniest highlights would have to be my interview with GaGa. Miss her normalcy (but normal people don’t always change the world – crazy people tend to).
 
Down with the bad romances, up with the dramatic-videos-songs-and-people.

 
Kid Cudi is coming to Toronto, according to random club email blast that I received earlier today. If you’re a fan, get fan-like and go see him at his official after concert party on November 28th, 2009. Just before the holidays – sweetness.
 
Know what else is before the holidays? A possible urbanebloc.com event. Will leave it at that, just waiting for some confirmations. It’s been a little while coming, and it’ll showcase my uhm…versatility. See you all soon!
