into the groove.

Everybody knows I am a huge Keith Haring fan.  This past year I missed Madonna's Sticky and Sweet Tour and I wanted to go because in one segment of her show she had a tribute to Keith.  A video wall installation of the late Keith Haring would have been amazing to see. 20 years after his death, his art is still relevant and current as if was still 1989. Here's what I missed.  

iFelt case.

Here are some pics of my new Ipod case available soon at lines by: davis.  It's made out of industrial felt and printed with one of my swirl prints.  It fits an Ipod Touch or a 3G Iphone. Great and durable for Ipod users who love FELT!

i miss you tom ford.

I had to take my glasses in for repairs today and I was forced to go back to my old ones.  What a difference it makes when you can't see anything.  My old ones are old and I can barely see anything cause they've been beat up and scratched.  I will hopefully be reunited with my Tom Ford glasses.  I will have to settle with Chanel for now.

what's to come.

I am finally finished my final design for my Ipod case.  I was going to do add all these things to it but I thought it would defeat the purpose of having a slim carrying case.  I will be posting pics of it soon.  I have also been working on new bag designs which I am excited about.  My new collection will be transitioning towards a more streamlined look.  I have been obsessed with geometric shapes and "lines" and my sister sent me a picture of a bag that reminded her of my new drawing.  I still don't know where she found it.

karlie kloss.

I probably have a crop full of models that I love, but I think Karlie Kloss is one of the most underrated models.  Underrated, I mean by that she is not overexposed and seen in every campaign or editorials. She is still pretty successful with runway shows and campaigns and is ranked only #20 on models.com.  I first saw her on the cover of a February 2007 cover of Teen Vogue and I wondered who she was.  I soon discovered this leggy American was only a mere 15 years old doing an editorial in the magazine.  I followed her ever since and in two years she's been working the runway and showing in many campaigns.  In a crop of "up and coming" girls, Karlie has remained one those girls who will hopefully stick around for many seasons to come.

I was going through style.com and I thought I put together a mix of my favourite designers and looks from different collections. They range from collections from 2003 - 2009.  Oddly enough my favourite looks were from the 2004 collections and they all seem to be from Spring RTW collections which probably means Spring is on my mind. There are so many designers that inspire me but these are probably up there on my list.

mini pochette.

Here's a pic of one of my mini pochettes that I took last week.  Yes, it fits pretty much anything. For the gal on the go.  Comes in mint green with the riding horse image also.

nature calls.

Seems like every Friday I get to enjoy my morning americano at Dark Horse.  I am literally obsessed! I am very excited about their west end location and how the space is amazing.  Yes, I am secretly stalking them.  Adam and I decided to venture out to the McMichael gallery up in Kleinburg, Ontario which is a very cute town.  We took the dogs for a nice walk around the grounds and I spotted the Bill Vazan sculpture which was cool cause it reminded me of Keith Haring.  Although it wasn't painted like Keith would've done the carving in the stone was neat.  As Spring approaches I can't wait for more nature adventures.  

merci bookhou.

So my sister who is also known as bookhou who makes home decor, baby and furniture blogged me earlier today which was really cool.  So, check out her website and visit her new shop in downtown Toronto, 798 Dundas St W. Thanks again, and yes I am finally blogging.

proto.type.

I bought new head phones awhile back and I finally opened them.  Yes, I am very particular with my electronic stuff. Let's just say I'm very precious. I've been using them for the past two days and they are the best things ever.   It went well with my proto-type for my Ipod Itouch case.  I will hopefully come up with a print that goes well with my new felt Ipod case.  My headphones are nostalgic to me and reminds me elementary school ones they had in the library. I miss cassette tapes.

crunch.

i was out running around on a really sunny sunday and i was snacking on these japanese noodle chips. sounds weird but what isn't if it's a japanese snack thing?  i only liked them cause of the little angry girl on the bag.  i still haven't figured out what that logo references to the snack.  if anyone knows please let me know.  she's so cute.

t.g.i.f.

There's not a lot of words to express how much I love coffee, really love my coffee in the morning. I wish all mornings would start like today, two words, Dark Horse. Yes, I've been late on buzzing on this coffee but it is my coffee crack.  I don't know what they do or put it in it but I am a Dark Horse fanatic.  I trekked down to Leslieville with Adam and started the morning with a nice Americano and blueberry scone.  I am a total scone snob and I must say the moistness of this scone will knock you out. Besides my morning indulgence, I had a beautiful day of fabulous food and sunshine that will hopefully stay longer as Spring is approaching.  This was one my best Fridays.

late night.

I've taken a break with my site and decided to join the world of blogging.  I hope to post more interesting things other than how late I'm up working on my site.  All in time, hopefully it will turn out as good as I hope.  Until then, stay tuned.
