Juicy Couture Holiday Bags

Pretty in pink and purple, Juicy Couture for holiday!

All dressed up for the Holidays

Despite our love for hoodies and skull tees I recognize a girl can't make that look work for every occasion. So for this holiday season I've gone crazy and gotten a lot of party wear... dresses and tops specifically!
NO, I didn't get weird Christmas colours, things made of prom/bridesmaid dress materials or frocks with puffy chiffon princess sleeves. What I got was a bunch of sexy fun dresses for you to look spectacular in. Materials are easy stuff -- no dry cleaning anywhere. My goal was to get a "little black dress" (or equivalent colour) for everyone!

Thanks to one of our very best girls "H" for modeling!

Long Socks with Laces

One of the unexpected hot items so far are these socks. Yes, I said socks. Maybe it's for Christmas gift giving but these items have really been popular. They're just tall socks with contrasting laces at the back. They're cute, sassy and more than a bit naughty!

Before you gals start emailing me... yes the sock on the left is the same for both top and bottom pictures. I had a brain freeze when I took these pictures.

Christian Audigier Tiger Rose and Goddess tees

These two tees are so gorgeous. I had to make sure I took some pictures.

Tiger Rose is on the left. Goddess on the right comes in both black and white.

Special thanks goes out to "A" my super gorgeous model!

Dec 5th New Arrivals

I'm so backed up at the store,we actually got these new items on Monday.

We're going to be getting big shipment of party dresses tomorrow. I'm super excited!

Runway Canada Get Away

I wasn't planning to blog about the Canadian edition of Project Runway anymore but this last episode was the most bearable of the season.

The challenge this week was to understand the jet-set, luxury and resort wear. So guess what fabulous location they got to. Drum roll please.... Southern France! Sadly no, they got sent to Southern California. The Hyatt Regency in Huntington Beach to be exact. Yes that resort destination of choice for the rich and famous. Oh you don't know where that is? It's like a an hour and half drive south from downtown LA, past Long Beach... past the docks. Yup they really splurged on the accommodations.

They showed Mood's LA store downtown. I'm very familiar with the area so it was a bit neat to see the 'hood. Nick Verreos from season 2 of Project Runway was the guest to meet them in LA. When he introduced himself he paused awkwardly, almost as if he wasn't sure if the designers would recognize him. Nick we all love and recognize you!

I swear he was channeling Tim Gunn. He had a really good mentoring vibe with a witty banter to boot. Brian Bailey should be taking notes. I hope Project Runway (any of the editions) can find more work for him. I would love to see more from Nick! The work space used was at the FIDM - The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising. The school is located close to Mood, so it's nice and close to where all the action is (unlike their hotel). BTW Lauren Conrad from (The Hills) is supposed to be a student there too. I wonder if Nick has ever instructed her?

OMG on their return to Toronto, the best moment of this entire series happened at the work space. Stephen was freakin' unbelievable with his fierce runway walk at the studio. Stephen's walk and Nick Verreos appearance has been the two best things in the series so far.

Tyra Banks would be proud. Fierce!

Ed Hardy Bags

Ed Hardy bags came in and the consensus amongst staff and customers is the gym bag. My personal favourite though is the messenger shape.

Model Misfire

Oakridge Center Mall had this strange little event last night. It was a fashion thing with models on platforms showing fashions from various stores in the mall.

I felt this thing was a big miss. Not only was it not promoted but having it on the first day in the extended evening hours on a Saturday was not going to generate a lot of interest. It's odd too that there was a modelling platform close to the Tru Drama store but yet our models were on the other side of the mall in front of Wear Else. The snow storm and the mediocre models didn't help either.

So there goes a bunch of my marketing money down the drain! Fortunately the clothes still look fabulous.
