Torontostreetfashion.com is taking a break.

To be honest, it takes a full-time team to run a successful fashion blog and especially to be able to write and blog about all the fabulous things that are happening in Toronto’s fashion scene – time I just don’t have icon sad So So So Much To Say, So Little Time At this time, I am proud to say however that this is the 1069th post – added on to years of pages upon pages of photos, articles and coverage that was published before the blog days.

There really is so much more to say though – so many great fashion and accessory designers to feature, fabulous boutiques and places to shop, artists, photographers, stylists and creative people making the city a more interesting place! Fortunately there are some really great blogs these days for your T.O. fashion fix (fashion magazine, chickadvisor, torontolife,).

If I had more time, these are some of the things I wanted to tell you about (from my TO DO folder):

This is the fabulously fashionable Beckerman family via beckermanbiteplate.blogspot.com.  I love it! They all seem to have such fun with fashion and maintain such creative day to day lives! Check out the blog…

I recently met the sweetest Toronto-based, Brazilian born shoe designer Perla Porto (and Fernanda shown here) at her new Queen Street West shoe boutique! The shop is awaiting its fall/winter merchandise before officially opening, and will then carry Perla’s supple, Brazilian made shoes for women. The Girl from Ipanema shoes are exclusive and affordable – Perla only has very small runs made from start-up factories in Brazil (apparently this initiative has even helped to employ some of Brazil’s homeless people). Stay tuned T.O or shop online!

Do you know these girls? They’re the amazing Deadly Nightshades – designers, artists, renegade cyclists… Cat’s AKA Big Red’s Etsy shop is empty right now but she makes this cool laser cut jewellery and fox tails (all discards from the fashion fur industry). Also if you need ANY help with your fashion business – ANYTHING, contact the girls – they can help.

These are photos of a Denis Gagnon runway presentation. If I was a big star and had to walk a premiere or awards show runway, I would definitely wear a Denis Gagnon dress and be the hottest, most fashionable babe on the block!

One of the perks of publishing a fashion blog is all the great things you get to try (mind you, you work your butt off). I received a lovely package of three Soulstice Spa vegan nailpolishes from Nailpolish Canada recently! “Soulstice Spa nail polish is vegan, cruelty-free (verified by PETA) & free of the toxins dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde and toluene.”

I love this – an online nail polish superstore, in Canadian dollars and shipped within Canada so no duties! And they have all the greatest brands (OPI, Orly, Essie, etc…) at competitive prices. Support Canadian business!

Wow, I was really late with this one…it’s Fort Apparel Toronto gear, but apparently this one-man operation closed up shop last fall. With a marriage, new house, other work, blah, blah, designer Trevor Crane couldn’t keep up – I hear ya brother!

I wasn’t too excited over this season’s POLKA DOT trend until I saw these Stella McCartney dresses! Love! Mango has polka dots – dresses, scarves, blouses…

I always wanted to be a shoe designer! Fashion designer Philip Sparks got that lucky chance – he designs men’s shoes for Town Shoes – very stylish, dapper shoes for men!

See what I mean – I can truly go on forever, but unfortunately don’t have all that time!

So I’ll just stop here with wishes for a wonderful holiday for everyone! Thanks for reading,
