Your recent purchase?

By Dejana | Published: June 3, 2010

What recent purchase are you the most proud of?

Send me an email with the: 1. photo of the item; 2. where you bought it; 3. and the price,
and I’ll be happy to feature it on my blog!

Here’s mine: I bought this Topshop locket watch necklace on ebay for $13!

Update:

You guys are quick! I’ll keep updating this post as I receive more emails/tweets:

From: Katherine

“Got this ring at a garage sale today for $5″

From: Paige

“Vintage floral dress from 69 Vintage. I believe it was $78, which is a little more than I usually like to pay for vintage, but I was instantly seduced by the sweetheart neckline, slim silhouette, gorgeous floral print and cool colour palette.  I later realized that it’s extremely similar to a SS10 Minkpink dress, and can’t help but wonder if it might have inspired the current dress since the pattern and shape are nearly identical”

From: Astrea

“$10 from vintagevantage.com

Purchased a few weeks ago, still didn’t get it though.
Hopefully it will come soon…. it takes time to ship to the UK :/”

From: Kristy

“Cynthia Vincent-inspired wedges from ALDO.

Thanks to you (seriously, THANK YOU for sharing the promotion code!!), I was able to score them for $23.50, taxes AND shipping included!
I placed my order on Tuesday and I got them today!
My heart skipped a beat when I saw the UPS guy at the front desk :D”

From: Lianna

“Sam Edelman Nydia, Browns, $199.99

The heels are super comfy and easy to walk in, too!”

From: BB

“I recently bought this vintage-style necklace at H&M for only $7!”

From: Sarah

“Denim floral wedges for $34.99 from Costa Blanca :) fab purchase!! :)”

From: Catherine

“Silver Skullduggery earrings. I bought them from Etsy’s Modern Trinkets -  and paid $22 US for them.

I am proud of these because I’m wary of online shopping. I avoid buying clothes and accessories simply because more often than not what I order doesn’t fit or isn’t what I expected. I spotted these earrings on Etsy one day, went through my usual “Should I? Shouldn’t I? Are they me? etc” and finally just did it and bought them. I LOVE them and wear them all the time. They’re pretty, a little dark, a little girly and make a statement.”

From: Steve

“Ankle boots from Value Village. I think they were $12″

From: Roman

“I recently ordered these ash gray Toms, they are supremely comfy and I like the front folds, unique! $55 + tax. They also have a campaign that for every one you buy they donate one to charity”

From: Patrick

“So thrilled with my Limited Edition D&G 18k Gold Aviator Sunglasses from Bloor St. Holt Renfrew. They were $695 and they also come with a fabulous case!”

Hudson Jeans, Bloch, Bensimon and BlankNYC – Fall 2010

By Dejana | Published: May 31, 2010

I was invited to attend a Fall/Winter 2010 media preview at Brassaii recently. Four different brands were being showcased:

  • Hudson Jeans including their core and new high-end line comprised of jackets, jeans, and tops exclusive to Holt Renfrew
  • Blank’s amazing high-quality, low-priced denim
  • Bloch’s famous flats in addition to their boots, heels, sneakers (new launch), Green Room Apparel (new launch) and a collaboration with Akira Isogawa (new launch)

Bloch has come a long way from being a leader in the technical dance market to making Hollywood’s favourite luxury ballet flats.

For Fall 2010, Bloch introduces a line of ankle and mid-calf high boots ($210 -  $420):

the gray ones are my fave

Next up is another celeb-favourite item: Hudson Jeans. I liked the skinny flap-pocket ones the most ($265). Hudson Fall 2010 collection will be available in August at major retailers including: Aritzia, Holt Renfrew, TNT. They will also be introducing a Holt Renfrew exclusive FW 2010 collection.

By Dejana | Published: May 25, 2010

As you all know, Sex and the City 2 is coming out this weekend! Expect your nearby theatre to turn into a runway :) I’m looking forward to capturing some amazing street style shots.

I still haven’t decided what I’ll be wearing. So I went to The Bay this morning and tried on two of the Halston Heritage dresses which are actually featured in the movie.

I thought the blue one was really cute, but a bit over my student budget…

Halston Heritage SATC deep v white cocktail dress - $395

deep v white cocktail dress - $395

halston heritage SATC electric blue pleated cocktail dress - $525

electric blue pleated cocktail dress - $525

And here’s what the stars wore at the premiere:SATC_2_premiere
