THE CANE: A MARK OF AUTHOURITY AND CLASS
Submitted by Jen on Fri, 05/16/2008 - 11:05.
by Jen McNeely
Taking cues from sexy prick Dr. House, the cane is now an accessory that you can lean on whether you have arthritis or not.
Oak hook, black shaft, bone carved, light weight – the choices and styles to choose from are endless. Further, be sure to hold firm to a cane with a name that is truly an extension of self: The Duke, My Lord, The Brier Rabbit, and The Connoisseur – the cane’s personality should match the cultured and high class woman you are.
Let the cane walk you while you swivel your hips side to side. If you’re feeling brash enough, do a foxy three point twist around the cane while waiting for the light to change.

Tulle and Lace…

In a thicket of tulle and lace, he finds her. He fumbles for her hand and then gently pulls her to the dance floor. The pale moon blankets the gymnasium in a veil of teenage lust and curiosity. Together they sway side to side, holding each other with a mutual restraint that masks the desire that implodes within.

SJP does London premiere
Submitted by Olga Barsky on Tue, 05/13/2008 - 12:43.
We couldn’t help ourselves and had to post immediately. This ensemble has sparked quite the debate around SDTC headquarters. While we are unanimously gaga over SJP’s Alexander McQueen dress, the Philip Treacy hat is a whole other story. With a chalk line drawn down the center, the office is officially at war. The left side of the room has been overtaken with Pro-Hatters who, Sharpies in hand, are manically scribbling WE HEART HATS on poster board, sticky notes, and other available surfaces. On the right, we have the Mad-Hatter-Haters who are busy rehearsing angry chant with accompanying clapping and desk pounding. A tad dramatic perhaps, but the hat warrants such behaviour. Is it a rose garden? Fruit platter? Science project documenting insect species found in South American rain forests? What are your thoughts SDTC readers, and more importantly, would Carrie approve?

The MET Costume Institute Gala is an annual feast for the eyes that brings together A list celebrities, models, designers, and fashion insiders decked in above and beyond Oscar worthy couture. This year’s $7,500 a head extravaganza was in celebration of the newest MET exhibition – SUPERHEROES: FASHION AND FANTASY, and honoured Italian superstar designer Giorgio Armani.
American Vogue’s Anna Wintour took the action hero theme and ran with it, or rather had her assistants do the running for her. She showed up in the evening’s most daring gown – a Space Odessey inspired, Chanel chic voluminous concoction designed by Mr. Lagerfeld.

Ombré: friend or foe?
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 05/16/2008 - 13:06.
by mystery fashion writer
I’d like to begin with a lesson in French, circa grade 8. Repeat after me class, “Ombré” …let that “é” roll off your tongues. Very good. Ombré means “shading” in French, a specific type characterized by gradual colour bleeding in a specific pattern; and it just so happens to be one of the biggest spring/summer trends. If you listen carefully, you can even hear faint whispers of winter overstock – from a pair of red Juicy boots to green Kate Spade handbag - condemning their homogenized colour fates. But its all up to you SDTC readers, you can help make amends. Should the boots keep crying or are you hating this trend?

It seems that I can't do anything these days - take the bus, read my favourite website, or head out to a pub without seeing or hearing about the new Sex and the City movie that's coming out. Like everyone else, I loved the show and its heroine Sarah J.P., though Maxim named her the world's "unsexiest" woman. Of course, her husband and most of the rest of the world doesn't agree and if you don't believe me, check out this pretty picture.

Horse Boot by Frye

Item: Campus Stitching Horse Boot by FRYE
Price: $320.00
Store: Ron White 55 Bloor Street West (inside Manulife Centre)
Phone Number: 416.964.6400
Website: www.RonWhite.ca
Feet are sweaty. Heart is racing. I am in love…with the most beautiful and exceptionally crafted pair of boots I’ve ever laid eyes on. We’ve only known each other for three weeks, but its gotten very serious. Unfortunately, ‘tying the knot’ is not an option as my boo(t) is of the pull-on persuasion. Made of creamy Saddle leather, the Campus Stitching Horse is fully leather lined and houses a special cushioned insole created by Nasa. What’s not to love?
It is due to the tremendous quality of FRYE footwear, that the brand has had longevity in the industry. How long you ask? The FRYE company was founded in 1863 by John A. Frye, a celebrated English shoemaker. Before long, FRYE boots established a loyal following amongst pioneers from New England journeying West, soldiers in the Civil War and WWII, and became a personal favourite of Teddy Roosevelt…that and how cute would these look with a summer dress?
