Vintage is the New Black

I rented the SATC movie for the weekend and I loved it. It’s a real feel good episode and conclusion to a much loved show. I decided to take a peep at www.bagborroworsteal.com. Carrie’s assistant, in the movie Louise from St.Luis swears by the site. You can rent vintage and brand new accessories for a week, a month, or as long as your little heart desires. You can also view items featured in the Sex and the City movie. I haven’t looked at the site for a while but they totally nave more stuff now that when I last looked at it. All products are 100% authentic and come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. The collection of vintage bags and jewelry are gorgeous. Looking at pricing, it looks like items start around $15/week and vintage stuff, my favorites, start around $150/week. There is also the option to ‘steal’ which means the item is available for purchase. FYI: On the cover the French title translates to ‘Sex & NY’. he he he

1992 Fashion = Love & Passion

Last week I picked up this book from a second hand book store on Queen Street. As a child I often spent time sewing with mum at the kitchen table. She used to make all of our dance costumes for competitions and recitals. As for myself, I’d come up with some interesting fashion designs and sometimes dress up my little sister in my ‘unique’ styles. The book has a great introduction to designing & drawing and the best part, it is from 1992! Second hand book stores are so full of life and wonder, you can go on an adventure, travel in time or visit countries & royals. I’m looking forward to the winter to bust out the sewing machine and create some vintage classic, 1992 inspired pieces!

You Make Even a Tiny Religious Cap Look Sexy

I wish you all a Shana TovaA Happy and Healthy New Year full of Light and Blessings and Fulfillment. ♥ “One action – either positive or negative – can tip the world to one side or the other. Now, every single one of us has the responsibility, through our own lives and actions, to diminish this darkness by awakening more Light. There is no better time to do this than during the holiday of Rosh Hashanah. It is considered to be the seed level of the entire year. No matter how much chaos humanity has created up until now, our collective soul never becomes impure. Rosh Hashanah offers us the ability to reconnect to the part of us that is pure and new, that is completely of the Light and free from darkness. This year we have the opportunity to reveal a critical mass of Light, to hit the tipping point, to shift the scales back to Light, causing pain, suffering and death to be removed from the human landscape. The Rav has been saying this for forty years: consciousness is key. Never before have we so desperately needed to live it. Look around – floods, terrorism, rising gas prices, rising tides – we need to tip this scale. Rosh Hashanah is the time. Let’s do it together.” Read More For thousands of years, the great kabbalistic sages have taught that every human being is born with the potential for greatness. Kabbalah is the means for activating that potential.

Let Them Eat Cake!

Edible Marc Jacobs. Amazing. A dear friend, Roxanne is the best cake maker I have ever, ever seen. This Marc Jacobs bag is really a cake, everything is edible on this cake, even the tags are food coloring printed on icing sheets! Roxanne has an incredible talent and passion for custom designing cakes. As I look through the photos of the many, many designs Roxanne has created I am increasingly surprised at the magnitude of talent. Each cake she makes is a masterpiece of confectionery and cake. Her website is beautifully created like each unique item she makes. I have many times opened the site, browsed through the sweet treats and listened to the elegant music that accompanies the creativity. It is with great pleasure and sincerity that I share this with you. Roxanne has a private cake studio in Leaside, Toronto where she offers designer cakes, one-of-a-kind cupcakes, custom sculpted cakes and edible marketing solutions. Her collection is a like a fashion show of couture cakes. And that in itself, is something I truly love. She has mastered the arts of sculpting cakes, mixing colour, and moulding sugar into everything from fresh flowers to fine leather. I encourage that you check out her website and if you have a sweet tooth or event requiring a special touch of class and creativity, contact her & make an appointment.
