Three Things I WANT
These are the three things I want right now.
From anywhere like Joe Fresh to Holt Renfrew, a downtown boutique or an uptown mini-chain.
Plus everywhere in between.
High end low end, it doesn't matter these are the things I want.

Shooties, Booties, Ankle Boots. They are all slight variations on the same theme and they are one of the three things I want. But this time I couldn't limit my selections to just 3. I love how these short boots are edgy and are meant to be seen. Even if they are hiding under a pant leg while you walk they kick out and there is more visual interest.
Personally I was never a fan of ankle boots with dresses or a skirt, but a shootie (ie more shoe than boot but still boot like) is much easier to rock with a dress for an edgier look than just a pump.
Plus on average booties are cheaper than a tall or over the knee boots. So if you are planning on wearing your boots under your pant legs, why pay for all that extra leather.?
I already have an extensive shoe collection but I lack a really great ankle boot, so I believe I will be giving into one of these three things I want soon!
One of the things we are seeing plenty of this coming fall winter season is fur. For the everyday socialite and those against fur, faux fur has never looked better.
Zara had three amazing faux fur options that are sure to sell out quickly. These are the three things I want the faux fur version!
I really am wanting a fur vest, whether it be vintage fur or faux fur it really doesn't matter to me as the faux versions have never looked better. I also really liked this faux fur collared sweater.All of these items were photographed at the Yorkdale Toronto Zara.
I have now caught myself trying on the vast selection of leather bomber jackets twice at the Leaside Winners. I saw a variety of versions of the classic bomber whether with faux fur collars or knit hems. There are also a variety of leathers, suede, from buttery tans to luxurious purples and smokey grey. And prices top out around $300 for one of the three things I want!
Note that there are already some fab wool winter coats as well from Soia Koy and Sisely.
I will be honest, I don't golf. My husband however is an avid golfer and as a result I have spent my fair share of time at the Canadian golf superstore Golf Town.
I usually wander around looking at the golf clothes, mostly for my husband while he tests out clubs.
This time however I saw something, that is, three things I want. Stella McCartney for Adidas has a golf line that is carried at Golf Town and it makes golf style seem well stylish!
The details are what makes Stella's clothes special. Cap sleeves on the polos, walking shorts with zipper details. My favourite item was the jacket that accentuates the waist and has lots of feminine detailing. Stella makes me want to take up golf. Well not really but I could at least look the part.

One of the things that I think Winners does really well is purses. They seem to be able to source a mixture of well known names and amazing European imports. I have seen names like Guess, DKNY even Prada depending on the location.
The three things I want or purses above are in the $150 -$200 range. They are all supple Italian leather. But you can find purses as cheap as $19.99.Trends that you can find at Winners right now are studs, and exotic skins like python and pony (note both are imitation if you were worried.)
All of the bags above are found at the Leaside Winners location.
Over the next 2 weeks you can enter to win a necklace from Foxy Originals. This is a Canadian company that even produces thier jewellery in Canada!
I thought since not everyone can win the necklace you might want to know what else is available in the Foxy Originals online store. These are the three things I want from Foxy Originals.
I thought these animal print Sahara rings would be a fun addition to a going out outfit.
The Dahlia earings are super fun. Big earings just scream summer to me!
This final necklace is similar to the one torontoshopoholic.com is giving away. What I love about the Spirit necklace is the chain detail that is a mix of large and small chain.
My daughters first pair of shoes were a pair of polka dotted Pedipeds my friend sent me from Vancouver. They were my frist introduction to childrens shoes and I thought they were the COOLEST.
So when Pediped contacted me about doing a review I was pretty pumped. It was easy for me to say good things about this company. The shoes are light and easy for baby to learn to walk in.
These are the three things I want from Pediped.
The Amy sneaker starts at size 5 and it somehow is cute and cool at the same time. 50% of your purchase of this style goes to Make a Wish Foundation. Love the baby blue colour for girls and the hint of metallic.
The Ashley Maryjane is a cute twist on the Polka dotted Giselle style my daughter wore. This style starts at newborn sizing and goes to 18mo. This is another style that proceeds benefit Make a Wish.
The last style is adorable for winter and is unapologetically girly. The Hanna boot is sized from 0-24 months.
Stay tuned for my Pediped review for toddlers!
I was in at Tabula Rasa last week and I just can't get this little boutique out of my head.
There were so many clothes and accessories that I want to go back for and try on.
Since I can't comment on the clothes until I have actually tried some on, I will tell you about the accessories!
These are the three things I want from Tabula Rasa.
The rings at the top are from June, July, August. I actually bought the red one in the middle (I couldn't resist).
The handbags in store are either vintage or from High Fashion Handbags and are all genuine leather. I was in love with the woven leather ones shown above. (I went back and got one of these!)
I am a scarf junkie all fall and winter. And I love the look of adding a scarf in the summer too. These vintage scarves would add instant chic to a trench or just a sweater and jeans.
When I was growing up the Bay was for fuddy duddies. The stores were full of outdated clothes and brands no one wanted. I would never have found three things I want from the Bay.
But that is definitely changing. I was at the Bay location on Queen by the Eaton Center and WOW there are so many coveted brands it is insane.
Much has been written about the 3rd floor which houses "The Room" plus brands like Halston and Rachel Roy are creating quite the buzz.
But the three things I want were actually in the shoe section on the second floor. These are the three brands I want from the Bay right now.
The embellished gladiator sandals are from Sam Edelman . I have been shying away from gladiator sandals but these make me want to jump on this trend before it is officially over.
Embellished sandals go from boho to glitzy with Vince Camuto. But there is more than just fancy flats. The white pumps above are from the same brand.
Finally Rachel Roy's footwear is super cool. While the last two brands were embellished with stones, beading and glitz, Rachel Roy is using studs for a more downtown look. Flats, wedges and sky high heels are all available.
I love a chunky necklace. More so now that I have two little hands pulling at everything. I feel that something with a bit more substance is less likely to break.
Stella & Dot has more statement necklaces that I would wear than I can count. And there is a variety of price points anywhere from around $50 to $300.
These are the three things I want from Stella & Dot.The first is the Uma Silk Wrap Necklace, I love the tie dye effect and the pink colour. Plus it will be hard for little hands to break this necklace apart!
Next is the Colette Necklace which is a Stella & Dot best seller. With the juxtoposition of pretty pearls and edgy metal chain its no wonder. Its a very Fenton Fallon inspired design.
The Garden Party Necklace is the final option. The oversized enamel flowers would make even a white tee and jeans look glam and girly.
It was hard for me to choose just three things, but these are the three things I want from Seraphic.
I always seem to be in awe of the accessories as I walk in the door. These envelope clutches really caught my eye and owner Anjali said that I am not alone - they are a big hit!
Since Balmain revived the strong shoulder last season shoulder embellishments have been everywhere. I liked this top because the embellishment wasn't over the top and i could easily see myself wearing it out somewhere fun for drinks.
I wish there had of been somewhere like Seraphic when I was going to prom, or that I had better taste back then. I love this gray dress with the shoulder beading, but there were plenty of fun styles PERFECT for the upcoming prom season.
Owner Natalie Colalillo stocks fun girly items and every time I poke my head into this tiny shop I Heart so many items. Plus the price point is to die for with many things not exceeding $50 and plenty under $30.
These are the three things I heart from I Heart Accessories!
I so wanted one of the straw fedoras that are in the shop. But when I tried them on they were too small for my head. I am hoping the next shipment fits me perfectly.
Raffia purses are hot for summer. I liked these ones because they could work for day or evening. The over-sized clutch would be a great summer work appropriate purse!
I am a sucker for a great bag and this large tote would be perfect everyday carryall.
After looking at these pictures I also noticed some fantastic bangles and cuffs. The pretty glamor would be great addition for a date or a wedding outfit.
