So pretty. And perfect for a NYE party. There are a lot of sparkly shoes out there right now but these ones are the best I’ve seen. They’re super good looking. And love the gold spike heal. They’d also look really cool with skinny jeans for a night out in the new year. They’re $690 at Holts.
These shoes are so awesome. They’re super cool and fancy. And on sale right now at Holts. I would honestly put these on a book shelve just so I could stare at them. They’re like art. Go get em’!
I saw this coat the other day at Holts and immediately had to take a picture. It’s Burberry and is – clearly – the best black wool coat ever! It’s chic, glamorous and super fancy. It has a huge black fur collar, which is removable (but why remove a collar like this?!). It’s an awesome length, double breasted and would look good with everything – jeans, a suit, a fancy dress, a tight pencil skirt with super high heels, etc. You would have this coat for so many years and never get sick of it. And because it’s Burberry, it would be really well made and last a long time.
Damn, I love this coat!
Love Givenchy and their handbags are some of the best one can own. I saw this baby at Holts a little while ago. It’s so cool and beautiful and, well perfect. The fur is so soft and the red stripe down the middle is totally representative of Givenchy and the line’s originality. Love this bag! It would be cool with everything. Such a great Fall/Winter bag. Holts has a good selection of Givenchy bags and so does this Polyvore.com.
I figure since it’s gay pride in Calgary this weekend, what better time to write about the limited edition Magenta Collection at Holts! For their 175th anniversary, Holts worked with some pretty awesome designers for some limited edition pieces that are exclusive to the store. Some of the items include Christian Louboutin heels (not my fave – a little much), Valentino heels (pretty), an Etro jersey top (cool on the right person but not a fan of jersey), a Smythe tuxedo blazer (love), an Alice + Olivia peplum dress (good price and they’ll sell tons), Manolo Blahniks (super good looking and a good buy), Jimmy Choos (OK but not the best), a Max Mara purse ($3,840 says it all), a Kate Spade tote (cute), Alexis Bittar bracelet and necklace set (too matchy but the bracelet is cool on its own) and many others.
Items for men (most likely fancy fruits) include really cool Naked & Famous jeans (want them), a Canali suit (good looking), a Paul Smith suit (cool), a Mackage wool coat and some fancy boxers.
Other items in the collection include nail polish, hand cream, coca-cola 6 pack (?), and chocolates – but $150 seems a bit much for truffles. Maybe it’s just me.
If you’re a big fan of Holts, some of the items are pretty cool and are a good buy.

Congrats on 175 years Holts
Can you imagine seeing a lady wondering down Madison Ave in this outfit? Or browsing the jewellery section at Bergdorf Goodman (best store ever)? This.Is.Fancy.

So yesterday my lovely friend Michelle told me about Tom Ford’s latest show and I’m obsessed. The man that made Gucci relevant again in the mid 90s is doing some amazing work lately. His Fall 2012 Ready-to-Wear collection is modern and streamlined and linear and sexy. It’s also super glamorous yet simple which is a difficult thing to pull off. It’s super good looking and expensive while still being slightly low key. Michelle and I talked about how it seems like Angelina was a bit of an inspiration for this collection. It’s like he had her in mind when designing a lot of these pieces – can you imagine if she’d actually wear clothes like this?
My favourites – the perfect leather boots with the spike heel, the most beautifully cut suits, the gold accessories, the best bags, the long black pants with zippers at the ankles and the skirts – no one does a pencil skirt as well as Tom. Ya, he’s super arrogant and needs to get over himself a bit, but the dude is sure good at what he does. Well done Tom, well done.

Gucci included some photos of this bag on their Facebook page and how it’s the bag of the season. And I totally agree. I’m always a fan of Gucci bags and I LOVE this bag. Called the 1970 shoulder bag, it’s sleek and sexy and has amazing details – metal corners, gold fringe tassel, brass hardware, chain shoulder strap and a metal snap closure. It’s super chic and good looking. And perfect for shopping on the weekends or going out at night. Would be great with a cool top and jeans, a dress or a nice suit. It comes in a few colours but I think the black version is the best looking because black and gold are just so damn good together.
If you’re looking for a bag this spring and fall, this is it. It retails for $2,190 on Gucci’s website.
