Some Friday Love

Enjoy your Fridays folks.  My plans involve a little design work, some drawing,  and time to pickup the wedding bands. Apparently I'm not supposed to forget those.   Happy weekend everyone.

I love the look on this guys face, "for reals?".

Table Decor

I discovered Rosanna a few years ago and it was love at first sight.  She designs beautiful tableware that can turn a ho-hum weeknight dinner into a glamorous soirée.   Her eclectic collections not only inspire you to bake and cook but design an entire room around them.  

 Fleamarket Chic Collection

 Pressed Glass Double Old-Fashioned

La Vie Boho

I was excited to see Rosanna's new line of melamine dishes from her Fleamarket Chic collection.  Now you can enjoy them outdoors....Picnic anyone?

and one other little thing I meant to share

     Its hard to find good gold these days. As this continues trending and taking off its going to get easier and easier to find, but in the meantime, I want to make note of any I find. 

This is the Purist Series from Kohler, in this fantastic aged gold finish. This was used in Tandem with  K-Art counters (which you can get your hands on at SMDS).  They made a great combination together.  

You can make this work with contemporary lines, or traditional.  The simplicity and clean lines lend themselves to a number of different styles.

Anyone else out there making great gold that I should have my eye on?

Weekend Pics - Homeshow Edition

   Stopped by the National Home Show this weekend, and although most of it wasn't anything to write about,  there were a couple of things to take notice of.   Ill try to share them a little later in the week.

In the meantime, here are a few of my favourite pics from the weekend.

Joe is so fresh and so clean clean...

Three at the Joe Fresh Fashion Show! via

.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................

It's not everyday one gets to go to a fashion show, so I jumped oh ok and maybe skipped a little at the chance to go. 

Joe Fresh F/W 2012- 2013 was our fashion show of choice, who doesn't love affordable fashion right?!  The show was a blur, no really a blur, trying to capture pictures on your iphone just isn't the smartest way to take in all the fashion. 

....thank goodness the Toronto Sun saved the day!

This one was my favourite one of the night! via

Spring is just around the corner and I can't wait, however I am looking forward to purchasing and wearing some of those clothes this fall!  In the meantime I will be heading to Joe this weekend to find some new spring pieces!

How were the others shows at Toronto Fashion Week?  Did anyone see any others?

Like Keri said above, what  a blur. The show flew by!  I have a bit of a fondness for "Joe" clothing.  It seems almost every time my (almost) wife and I go grocery shopping, we come home with something extra.  When Stephanie mentioned the idea to go down, I thought, Why not?  I'm going to end up buying most of it anyway, might as well get a sneak peek first.

    

Much of this show was fall wear, but I think some of the themes are transferable as great spring ideas.

Like Stephanie mentioned in her post a few weeks back, a touch of neon should be in everyones wardrobe this spring.  Joe Fresh showed it in a much bigger way. Jackets and sweaters, not in your face neon, but certainly bright enough.  

Lots of fun, great event.  And the red carpet outside for everyone to walk up was a nice touch.

Bill

...................................................................................................................................................................

I have to admit that I let out a loud shriek and started to clap my hands together when I received the email for the Joe Fresh fashion show.  I knew at that moment it would be the perfect March event for Three. I was so eager to share my discovery that my fingers could not text fast enough, and the anticipation for the response felt "like forever".  And in a matter of minutes it was booked and confirmed, Three was heading to the 2012-2013 Fall/Winter Fashion Show by Joe Fresh. 

Heading downtown that sunny evening, it felt like everyone had bounce in their step. I mean how could you not, its Toronto Fashion Week!!! 

In a blink of an eye the show was over and I was left sitting there thinking, what stood out? For me it was two things... First I loved the deep side part, high volume, low ponytail. It was very sixties inspired. The second thing would be the houndstooth patterned pants. I love this pattern so much that I purchased my car because it had houndstooth seats!!!  Overall the show was great, but the best part was having a night out with Bill & Keri.

Classic Style Icon - Michael Caine

There are many men of style from James Dean, to Paul Newman to the present icon, Jon Hamm.  For whatever reason, I am always drawn to the impeccable Michael Caine.  

Being a touch on the younger side of life, I didn't grow up with Michael. Many of his films have been found and stumbled upon for me.  The one constant through them all? Fine Detail in all that he wears.

s

Young or old, thick glasses or no glasses, always well put together.

Comical Art

I Love when art evokes an emotion or a response. I had this happen to me when I came across the work of Gary Taxali.  Not only does his illustrations make me smile but they make me giggle.  They are the perfect combination of vintage, whimsy and comedy. 

 "Totally Repugnant"

 "Bad Haircut/ Stupid Haircut"

 "Riesling Pigato"

 "Nebbio/Barbera"

 "Sangiovese"

 "The Nose"

 "Lost Tooth"

 "The Year That Was"

"Black Eye"

I think Steven Miller got it right when he said....

"Gary Taxali visually blends now with then.  His style, inspired by vintage comics and advertising art, is repurposed with the goal of communicating the ironies and comical essence of popular culture. His work is at once alluring and endearing."
