Stiletto Diaries

While we were browsing at the Toronto Erotic Arts Festivallast spring, Nia picked out this pin for me, which of course I loved!  I think it adds a certain touch of class to my purses.

I’d been carrying the same plain black, yet functional wallet for years.  In fact, I can’t even tell you with any certainty when I bought it because I’ve had it so long.  I fell totally in love with this pocketbook style wallet by ESPE when I came across it at Krickets, in Calgary.  ESPE is a Canadian cruelty-free accessories company, and this bright and cheerful wallet makes me feel less emo goth kid, and more ‘pocket full of sunshine’.

I collect icons/user pics, which are basically those little 100×100 pixel graphics that people use over at LiveJournal, or on MSN, or forums, etc.  I have over 1,000 of them saved on my computer, because I just find so damn many of them which are cute, hilarious, or sexy.  I’ve used them on this blog as well, and then one day I discovered I could go over to CafePress, and PUT THEM ON BUTTONS!  Buttons are another collection/addiction of mine.  This particular button was designed from an icon I had, which I like very much.  It now resides on one of my many purses, which…I also, um, collect.  I DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM!

A couple of months ago I had some business cards printed with VistaPrint (great service, awesome price, I highly recommend) and since then I’ve been looking for something to carry them in, so they don’t get all bent out of shape in my purse. I stumbled across this cute and stylish Glam card holder in Krickets, during my recent trip to Calgary, and it’s just right!

While I was in Calgary over the weekend we did a little shopping. Krickets down on 4th St in Mission is filled with funky and stylish accessories and gifts. Be warned, there are so many fabulous things in that store your head may explode. Knowing how I love quirky pins, V gifted me with this totally suitable little gem. I think it pretty much says it all.
