Call me overly pop-saturated, but this girl is just great. Bubbles? Balloons? YES.

 
I recently made a trip the Blossom Lounge Bath + Body with Carole and was struck by MOR Cosmetics’ beautiful little Lip Delights. Oval shaped, golden-designed etched little boxes held delicious lip cares in varying flavours. Aesthetic over everything, really…these delights had me vying. Ever so generous Shauna surprised me with this as a goodie, and I couldn’t be more…well, delighted! This treasure’s the “Sorbet” version – delectable.
 
The collections combine Deon and Dianna’s flair for design and are presented in uniquely beautiful packaging. The duo is continuously refining their ranges …

 
Shop Song was ringing through my headphones for the longest time – and the one accountable for doing this to me was none other than miss PEARL FUTURE (aka Pearly), the next power vocalist emerging from Bay Area, US. We first got in touch through the beauty of social networking – a la MySpace. Being amazingly down to Earth (if you can believe – this girl moderates her own page comments and takes the time to respond), Pearl Future did a little Q&A for urbanebloc.com on her upcoming gigs.
 
She’s …

 
In a not-so-distant future, MTV’s FORA Magazine will launch (a joint venture with surprisingly, Clean & Clear). A week ago I had the fun of heading down to catch the filming of Kelly Cutrone on the Aftershow with Jesse Cruickshank and Dan Levy at the Masonic Temple (I can’t even remember the last time I was there – possibly for a Lauren Conrad filming). Following a bump in with miss Jules and Janet from Lotus Leaf, industry and media folk were ushered through a maze of old fashioned elevators and …

 
“Saving women from their beloved damn heels.”
 
No matter what, there’s something still too primitive about a barefooted beauty in the wee hours of the morning after a night chock full of dancing. Here’s an in for innovative concepts like Damn Heels and earlier posted cazz. Foldable ballerina flats are our saviours for stilettos – they’re a compact and wildly affordable product that have entered the fashion-inclined markets. Essentially flats that stem from an easy-to-pick menu (three sizes – S-M-L and in a small range of colours). Damn Heels brings some …

 
At the sweet recco of Maria, I picked up a bunch of tracks from Mozella, a songstress with vocals that tinge on Duffy-style music. I love the stories of people running off to LA to pursue their dreams – stolen from Wikipedia:
 
MoZella was born and raised in Livonia, Michigan, where she first got her start as a performer booking her own gigs in coffee houses at age 15. Immediately after graduating from high school, she set out for Los Angeles to pursue a career in music. She took a day …

 
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). …

 
Have you heard? If you weren’t at the clothing swap, you haven’t likely as of yet. CAZZ foldable flats are a concept that stemmed from barefoot-streetwalkers (kidding – basically chikitas that decide that the pain of their high heels are too much to bear, and opt for shoeless nights). These portable flats literally tuck into themselves to half the size, and conveniently zip into a pouch (which also converts into a bag). These shoes are nothing short of rocket science (I’m sure in a few years they’ll have perfected dishwashing …

 
LIZARES is an emerging men’s ready-to-wear line, under the creative direction of Brian Maristela. Maristela happens to be a keeper of an interesting bio – born and raised in Sudbury, a top graduate of Fashion Design at Fanshawe college, and integrates his Filipino roots into design (cultural materials). The makings of something refreshingly original.
 
The mission? “To create timeless, powerful pieces that appeal to the likes of global opinion leaders and style makers”.
 
The line is new (started in 2009), crisp, meticulously detailed, and a welcomed edginess. It debuted at LG Fashion …

 
The Roosevelt Room is a hotly anticipated supper club slated to open late November (though I’ve heard so much about it, and might perhaps stop by the media preview tomorrow. With a menu inspired by the first ever Academy Awards and a beautifully themed reception, it’s pretty hard to pass up). The venue is located behind the TIFF Tower, located on 328 Adelaide St. W., downtown Toronto. Love the theme of old Hollywood glamour and the 20s theme (flapper dresses and sophisticated head pieces?)
Here’s a smidge more:
 

The Roosevelt Room is …
