I’ve been loving this cover for a couple months now and thought to share it with you. I dare say British singer Alex Clare rivals Miss Etta James for the win. Hauntingly beautiful with soul to spare. Shivers.

Alex Clare, Damn Your Eyes

The delicate balance of work and play sometimes leads to neglect to this lovely piece of Espace. In homage to my recent voyage to Montreal, here’s to getting my ass in gear. Also…the dog ate my homework.  Yeah, that’s it. Yeah…..yeah….

It’s here my dears. Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fallllll. As much as I hate to utter that dirty, filthy word, there’s no denying that Summer’s hot and brief love affair is fizzing out (save it, bitch) and that undeniable morning nip is in the air. Besides the horror of essentially hibernating for next upcoming months, I take comfort in the important things in life- new boots, shoes, handbags and clothes, clothes, clothes!!! 

Reluctantly Falling for It

This past Sunday at the VMAs, Lady Gaga’s alter-ego Joe Calderone came out to play and torture guests during the show. Gaga’s latest ploy for attention brought out all the stops (we pleaded, she didn’t…) complete with sack-grabbing, smoking, pomade, plenty of Spanx and perving stares at helpless Britney who humoured Gaga’s Calderone until it just got weird. The shtick lasted all night, through her performance and even backstage, answering questions only as Jo Calderone. Gaga, stick a dick in it! We get it! You’re fighting for all the unheard trannies out there, dyking it up for the Butches back in Brooklyn, even donning a prosthetic peen to really fill the role. But ironically enough, the song and dance (and dick) ends up mocking the very cause it’s striving acceptance for. The put-on gong-show act is so tired. Straight up, (or not) discussion is what resonates with people, not strap-ons. Besides, we’ve already seen her real peen years ago! Her tuck-game is mastered! We accept you Gaga, you WERE Born this Way. It’s ok! Now- drop the act.

Lovin It

Ah yes!  Back and delusional as ever to think I’d return to my faithful fashion following after months of neglect, but  no matter! I’m back and ready to tackle Fall 2010 like Lilo’s newest battle with sobriety-with a sprinkling *cough, snort* of regret and a healthy dose of denial (has it really been that long??!).

If anybody cares…you don’t, but I’ll go on…the anwser is no- I haven’t succumbed to foam wedges, halter tops, bootcut jeans and during my cyber absence. No, being that sexy should be outlawed and luckily- all references aside- there is no juicy expose to report from yours truly, just plain ol’ fashion (but not really) laziness.

Stay tuned for my roundup of Fall 2010′s hottest looks trends, tips and everything in between…until tomorrow fashion lovers and friends. xo

Call it a Handyman’s dream (minus the butt-crack!)-these past few seasons has all been about the making the blue-collar man’s wardrobe fashionable. Think overalls, workman boots and these amazing on-trend shoes from Tom’s. Adding a vibrant splatter of colour to Spring’s otherwise neutral colour palette (grey, cream, nude) and ringing in at only $54.00, they’re definitely on my must-have list for summer.

Floral’s homely stepsister- Raffia, is making a resurgance this year in accessories of all shapes and sizes. Like the unfortunate stepsister, Raffia knows the importance of added bells and whistles, and she does not disappointment in her offerings this Spring. At Diane Von Furstenburg, this formerly bland fiber takes centre stage with saturated purple. With sleek hardware, leather embellishment and interesting detailing, these raffia goodies are anything but second-rate.
