    I cannot begin to even describe just how much I LOVED THIS COLLECTION! The polka dot accents, the printed blazers, the mixing of floral prints and polka dots; everything about this collection was giving me life! I was ooh-ing, aaah-ing, and trying my best not to look a damn fool by drooling over this collection! I loved it!

    Event LOVE: Krane A/W13 Presentation @kranedesign

    PicsArt_1363328647482

    We attended the Krane A/W2013 Presentation last week over at Soho House, and it was fabulous! Even though the room was PACKED, it was still nice and intimate and the collection was everything. I’m usually not drawn to dark colours, but I was in love with the attention to detail in all the pieces. The coats were amazing, there was loads of leathery goodness and the sweaters with the woven leather???? Oh. My. Gawd. YES! And the bags? I need ALL the bags. Everything was AMAZING. After the presentation, I sipped on the signature cocktails and caught up with all the fashionistas in the room 🙂

    Love These!: React by Sof Sole Insole Line

    Did you know that the average person creates over one million pounds of impact to their feet and legs by just walking one mile?! I didn’t, but now that I do I’m making more of an effort to reduce the impact of walking/running on my feet and legs. I recently received two pairs of React Airr Active and React Airr Support by React by Sof Sole, and immediately put them in my running shoes and in my walking shoes to test them out. I noticed the difference IMMEDIATELY. I was able to run longer while at the gym, as my feet were super comfortable, and I didn’t feel that sometimes irritating feeling I get in my feet, ankles and right knew. Magic! Even jump roping (which I love) has become much more enjoyable thanks to these bad boys!

    Then I took them for a walk, and walked all over downtown for about 4 hours, and didn’t feel the need to sit down once, or jump on the next street car just so I could rest my feet. It was fantastic. No pain, no nothing. I’m in love.

    So what makes these insoles so awesome? Well… they have an ergonomic design which accommodates all foot types and the air chamber and polymer gel technologies maximize performance, shock absorption, breathability and comfort.

    The Goods:

    • Polymer Gel Forefoot: Absorbs shock and reduces pressure points during toe off while running of playing sports.
    • Polyurethane Foot Bed: Provides lightweight and durable comfort for the entire foot.
    • Encapsulated Air Chamber: Optimizes cushioning by decelerating impact forces on heel strike and rebounding on lift-off.
    • Contoured Heel and Arch: Designed for athletes with neutral to high arches.
    • Moisture Management: Proprietary technology wicks moisture away from the foot surface and keeps your feet cooler and dryer.

    I’ve been wearing mine everywhere, and if I could put them in my heels I would… hmmm that’s an idea. If you’re looking to improve performance in the gym, when playing sports, or just want to make your walking a more pleasant experience; RUN to the nearest Foot Locker and get yourself a pair. Do it. The React Airr Active is available for men and women for $29.99 and the React Airr Support is #34.99, also available for men and women. Now go and get a pair. You’ll thank me later.

    Thank you to Sof Sole for sharing this with us!

    Event LOVE: @Valentine_K Official S/S12 Launch

    Last week, we celebrated Valentine K’s second season of cozy cashmere sweaters and it was glorious! The spring/summer 2012 collection features lightweight cashmere pullovers, cardigans and hooded sweaters in a variety of colors ranging from citrine, georgia peach (my fave!), pink icing, ocean blue, lavender purple, and navy stripes.

    Lauren McLachlan-Valentine K Designer

    “This season, I chose shades that jump off the rack. The leathers all have a vintage feel, which is very keeping with the line itself. The Grandpa patch is special to me because when I found the print, it reminded me of my cottage-a place I love and am always inspired by,”- Lauren McLachlan

    I just want them all 🙁

    lovely chatting with Roula and Christiana

    fun times 🙂

    that dip was to die for…

    “The pairing of sugary sweet colours with rustic feeling textures is unexpected. I love that by adding an accent, you take a simple sweater and turn it into something special.”- Lauren McLachlan

    omg the leopard print detail… LOVE.

    We also got a sneak peek of the F/W12 Collection!

    Valentine K is sold at TNT in Montreal and Toronto, Canopy Blue and Dew in Toronto, Bannermans in Peterborough, LYNNsteven in Vancouver, and Alene Too in Boca Raton, Florida.

    Thank you for inviting me, I loved the entire collection!
