my favourite vintage shop brings all the ladies

My fav vintage shop is CTS at Queen & Spadina. I’m the Foursquare Mayor (nerd) and that’s also where The Australian works. Yesterday was a very special day. I rolled up there to deliver an ice cream cone and the boys were just about to have a photoshoot. No shoes. So Australian, ha! Cool stuff here. Good on ya. Must have a hat! Hi lovely. Too funny. The vintage stuff is on the back. Don’t buy it all, I need some! J.K. the store gets new stuff all the time. Enjoy the day. Stay cool out there!

COOL THINGS HAPPENING.

Our city is full of really rad things to do. Did you know that the pool at Bathurst & Dundas is free and open till midnight? It was packed last night. Last night was also super hot. I went for a bevy with cute boy and he brought a water gun. Gentlemen, do this. It’s cute and fun and very practical during this extreme heat wave. Look at this happy face 🙂 July 26th – Art Battle Sweet 16 Have you ever been to an Art Battle? It’s competitive paint battling! This round they have 16 painters and it is going to be exciting. Last one I went to was AB:11. The great Hall gets packed with painters and it’s quite a site to see. I recommend you check it out. Facebook deets here.  Parkdale Bazzar: Wolfie Prints Sale My friend Nicole (you will see her at Peach Berserk) has a rad Etsy store (you know I lvoe Ets). The shop is called Wolfie Prints and it’s a collection of original hand drawings on clothing and paper.  She is park of the Parkdale Bazzar, Saturday, July 23 from 11am-5pm at Parkdale Town Square. This is my fav shirt of hers, the Sugar Skull Tee. One more cool thing! Rule Britannia!  My friends at Bangs&Blush wrote about this night for Shirk Mag.

Dr. Martens Fall Preview 2011

Oh hey there. Mama loves new shoes! Last night I cruised by the Fall Preview of Dr. Martens. I’ve been a Docs lover since primary school so it’s awesome to be invited to check this out. I took all these photos cause I love the shoes. My fav ones right now are Eclectic in white canvas & Triumph 14 Eye. Get ready for some serious shoe pr0n… For the stylish & sophisticated wearer. Love these bad boys. Real fur. Imagine the comfort & snuggles for your feet. I have those Triumphs on the right but with tartan inside. Jay Strut is in el-oh-vee-eee with these ones. That’s Doug in the background, International Sales Manager. He gets to wear Docs errry day! We were at the Sheraton, 30, miles stories high. Constantly distracted by things that are shiny. The classics. Carly needs the pink ones. I had saddle shoes as a kid. I still do 🙂 I forget that these are called but rockabilly guys with the James Dean look wear them. I dig it. These ones are all pretty classy looking. I’m impressed with the wide range of shoes they have. They are really well made and versatile. The really tall 20 inch boots make me want them. You know what this smells like? Real nice leather. You know what this smells like? Nothing. Vegan leather. Paisley. These babies are my fav style. These are nice too. I would go ona date with a cute boy based on him wearing these. *take note Industrial manufacturing. ILU. Got soul? This warmed my little nerd heart. DR. MARTENS USB!  J’adore. Let’s not forget I taught Doug how to PLANK. Great form my friend! He learned from the best. Plank Girl! The team hooked us up with a gift cert for a new…
