Welcome, Alice. Swarovski’s done a capsule collection to trot along with the release of the new Alice in Wonderland movie by Disney. Capturing the spirit of A.I.W, the line is representative of the movie through its vintage and gothic tones. Sifting through oh so many pieces and much marveling later, I watched the official trailer again on small-screen (aka laptop) and it only reaffirmed that Swarovski has done a stellar job capturing the sentiment in the collection. My favourite? The Round Hall Key from the White Rabbit selection ($130.00). I’ve …

Cloud 9 Cloud 9 Cloud 9. It’s a play name that’s been spinning in this one’s head for a bit. That alongside an ultimate misread – how was I to know that a play about sexuality wouldn’t have a more fitting name than “A comedy of multiple organisms”. You’d be jaded not to know what the misread would have been. Off to see this play today at the Panasonic Theatre Box Office. Lovely times to ensue – will let you know how it is. Admittedly, I haven’t attended a play …

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, …

Hey Mitts, how you doin’? It’s the Vancouver 2010 Mittens – not to get too gimmicky. And they really are snuggly good (at only $10.00 they’re really better than just “good”). Sorry for the lack of daily posting, seek this as a form of foreshadowing for the things to come. Ciao for now!

A little while back TEDxTO occurred, where a series of incredible people spoke out about their individual causes. No better way to wake up in a day and immerse yourself in these videos on the TEDxTalks YouTube Channel. Check the one above for Gavin Sheppard of the Remix Project (did a post about him a little while back with Marc Ecko’s I am Unlimited Project
Enjoy and inspire!

This melts my heart. Danier Leather has produced one of the most beautiful, magical, delightful video to embrace their winter collection. So gorgeously created, that it would appear every single frame could be a perfect portrait.
The video spells out: textures, accessories, volume, and most importantly – stylish leathers.
Enjoy “Love at First Frost”.

Culture, For a Cause »
Che Kothari is the force behind MANIFESTO Festival, our partner for the second THE PEEK event. When he sent out a note about supporting this cause, I was all up for it – more art in the city, how can we deny?
BeautifulCity.ca is a site devoted to a cause – to pass a new tax on billboard advertisers to fund enforcement and arts initiatives across the city (in this case, Toronto). Here’s how you can take action:
1 – Call and write your councillor. Let them know that the revenue should …

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.

I met the Isle of Thieves when I tagged along with The Eatons (who by the way, have some new music mucho on the way, and it’s sounding good), and they’re a bunch of fun folk (to share friends with too – portions are huge in Oshawa. Holler). Lo and behold they’re playing a free show on December 5, 2009, at the famed Mod Club (722 College Street in Toronto). Come by, enjoy some music, and have some good times with them!
There’s free downloads on their website so you can …

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.
