		<title>Designer Espresso</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


&#160;
Are you an espresso mad individual like myself who spurns drip coffee for that beautiful tar shot?  I bet that you&#8217;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 ...]]></description>

		<title>Denim Days &#8211; GAP 1969</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#160;
My love for denim knows no bounds &#8211; when I happened upon the new GAP 1969 collection, it really couldn&#8217;t have had more uncanny timing. I was instantly compelled by the Washed Chambray Light Denim Shirt and it&#8217;s casual comfort ways. My only qualm? Having to stick to the no-denim-on-denim rule (aka don&#8217;t wear jeans with a denim top. It&#8217;s wrong in too many ways to describe).
&#160;
The offerings of GAP 1969 span from blazers to patched jeans (pictured above). The only piece I would admittedly not be overly keen about ...]]></description>

		<title>One Last Hoorah For Boots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#160;
I know spring is on the way but don&#8217;t let this 10 degree weather fool you.  If history is any indicator we will soon receive a final whiteout of snow before months end and than trudge through sludge and mud until mid April or the arrival of more summer like weather in May.  This is why I am going to give one last hoorah for boots.
&#160;
Through fall 2009 and winter 2010 we have witnessed the re-emergence of the great Red Wings style boots.  The boot I will be plugging today ...]]></description>

		<title>The Best Bar on the Block</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s a revival of something classic and classically beautiful. I received a press kit for the Dove Beauty Bar a ways ago and had to think twice as to whether or not this was a new product. Alas, it&#8217;s one in the same with my all-time favourite beauty / personal product &#8211; the Dove Bar. Without a doubt, I&#8217;ve never quite found a comparable soap &#8211; it&#8217;s seemingly natural, gentle, and more reliable than any other product I&#8217;ve encountered thus far (and that&#8217;s becoming a burgeoning collective).

Facts are:

		<title>Knit to Perfection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#160;
Volume. It&#8217;s absolutely key with my scarf selection these days. And what better timing did Kyla Leslie of kove have when her email about her incredible scarves blasted into my inbox. Another slight spurt of luck came upon me when I realized that we were both in the same magical place that was Vancouver. With that said, we had the chance to meetup and chat about the story behind the stunning knit pieces.
&#160;
They&#8217;re warm, they&#8217;re fuzzy, they&#8217;re outrageously the rage, and handcrafted with love on the west coast. kove is ...]]></description>

&#8220;Saving women from their beloved damn heels.&#8221;
&#160;
No matter what, there&#8217;s something still too primitive about a barefooted beauty in the wee hours of the morning after a night chock full of dancing. Here&#8217;s an in for innovative concepts like Damn Heels and earlier posted cazz. Foldable ballerina flats are our saviours for stilettos &#8211; they&#8217;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 &#8211; S-M-L and in a small range of colours). Damn Heels brings some ...]]></description>

		<title>Q&amp;A with Jason Corbett of TV Heart Attack</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

&#160;
Indie bands can be a dime a dozen &#8211; but what isn&#8217;t is a band that comes along producing music that makes you jam out unknowingly while listening to them. And by that I mean a band that has you bopping in your seat while multi-tasking, and singing along to words that you didn&#8217;t realized you had learned. TV Heart Attack, based out of Vancouver (Thorny Bleeder Records), is a band starting to make waves with their latest EP &#8220;Lost in the Sway&#8220;. Lucky me happened to be in Van ...]]></description>

		<title>ALDO SHOES &#8211; Spring 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#160;
I make it no secret that I purchase most of my shoes from ALDO &#8211; there&#8217;s something about the styling of there shoes that gets me every time. No amount of expensive shoes can seem to match up to them in my eyes. Yes, mass retailer with the non-mass retailer styling. I dig it. This video is just so damn fun it makes me want to do the twist. Maybe with a giant plastic ice cream cone. Hey &#8211; don&#8217;t think that way. You know what I mean. Enjoy zis ...]]></description>
