On the 14th of this month Farinoush makes her debut as a fashion curator at the Ada St. Gallery in London, England. She'll share the glory for the show - A Walk in the Wardrobe - which delves into the dark corners of the "storage of memories" with six fellow students from the London College of Fashion. Wish we could be there for it!

Lululemon Warehouse Sale Starts Today in Toronto

2007-01-25T05:38:00.000-08:00

The website I want - I got and mass emails quickly circulating around the city are spreading the word about Lululemon's next big warehouse sale which starts today. You can expect massive line-ups but also bargain prices for otherwise pricey yoga gear. Since I'm back on the yoga track, hitting Bikram classes a few times a week, I feel like I spend most of my extra time doing laundry. That's one good reason to for me to pick up some more gear. Most of Lululemon's yoga tops and bottoms are made with material that wicks away moisture too so it'll be easier to handle the heat when my Bikram's instructor jacks the thermostat to 40C+.

Location: 473 Adelaide Street West.
Sale starts today and runs until Sunday
Everyday 10AM-7PM

Sorority girls love their tees.

Sorority girls love their tees, so why not design one own for more than just the just the girls in the chapter? Submit ideas to Threadless, have your friends vote and get people to wear your tees. It's a big world out there. Show them what you've got at Threadless or sign up to rate others' t-shirt designs. It's just as much fun.

It's A Croc

Lots o' Crocs
Originally uploaded by Boris Badenov.

As far as shoe fetishes go I'm pretty average. I've got many different kinds of shoes but I tend to fall into the same few pairs most days. My favourites these days are my new Royal Elastics, some from Fly and a pair of modified Havaianas I bought on a recent trip to Sao Paolo, Brazil. I know shoes are important, but I can bust my flip-flops at work, as long as it's not everyday.

I recently read a quote from one power maven who works at a fashion magazine in New York, her philosophy was you can get away with regular shoes most of the time as long as you wear some deadly heels once a week, just to show everyone you're still "in the game". I think she's right. Tonight I have a stiletto party to go to, so I'm gonna pull out some heels I bought just for the occasion when I was in South Beach for the Music Conference.

So now that you have an idea that I'm not a total sorority girl shoe snob here it goes - what's up with the ridiculous shoes most people wear these days? Crocs - are you kidding me? They're gardening shoes, and they're ugly. I think I actually like Uggs better, and I hated Uggs. I'd see girls in Los Angeles wearing gorgeous summer dresses and Uggs. Somebody send in a stylist.

Do you think Carrie, or any of the girls on Sex and the City would wear Uggs or Crocs? I don't think everyone has to dress super sophisticated all the time, but who wants to look like a clown? Not me.

I'll stick to my cute little white sporty flats throughout the week, and then show everyone I've still got it when I show up in super sexy stillettos at tonight's party. I'll guarantee one thing, Crocs aren't gonna help a woman get anywhere, not into a high-powered career, not even past a doorman.

The Annual Theta Summer Pool Party starts at 5pm on Saturday, June 10. Feel free to bring a guest. Please leave a comment and I will get back to you with more details, including the Oakville address.

Happy Birthday Farinoush!

Today is Farinoush's bday and the perfect time to give everyone a little update into the world of Fair. Many of you will remember Fair's kooky sense of humour, thoughtfulness and genuine compassion for friends and Thetas alike. In her last year at Western, Fairypants was President of the Gamma Epsilon chapter and on Panhellenic. Now several years later she's still involved in a myriad of activities, and has a broad range of interests.

While at her "dayjob" at Toronto's largest retailer of fine fashion she coordinates some pretty cool events, then at night Fair becomes fashion correspondent for the newly launched style guide jak and jil. During spare time Farinoush toils with jewellery design (loves Beadworks) and makes plans for her future. Dedicated and determined, I have no doubt Farinoush will continue her trend-setting and jet-setting ways while fuelling her curiousity for the world and passion for fashion.

Happy Birthday Fair, you rock!

Thetas Need Blogs Too

Amazing, the friendships I made and still have with a bunch of the girls from the Gamma Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta at UWO (University of Western Ontario). I'm thrilled. You girls rock! Some of you I see less often, but I get emails and updates regularly - keep them coming! Then there are also those I haven't seen since graduation...where are you? Shouldn't there be a way to keep in touch with one another and know that you are all happy and healthy?

I must confess this was inspired by another Western sorority's page. Their site included names, stories and celebrations. Time to launch a site for our girls too I thought. I encourage everyone who visits to write comments, include full names (if you wish for google to find you), send me updates and keep in touch! This site is for you. I'll continue to keep the site fresh...and let everyone know what we've been up to.
