Von Donna . . . Von Gorge . . .

So is this the best or what? Are you so jealous that the amazing Ron White has named a sleek and sexy boot after yours truly?

Ron (as you probably already know) is the creator of the All Day Heel. Well, is there any other way . . . what else would you wear all day when you are a fashionista extraordinaire? Ron created the Von Donna out of the most scrumptious black crackle leather with a glam metallic thread. The lining is calfskin so it is super comfy and will not allow my pretty toes to get too hot. The heel is 3” so it truly is a boot I can wear all day long running around the hautest village. Then I can slip into one of my many LBDs and meet #4 for dinner looking like a rock star. How utterly divine!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them and Ron White, too. If you want to be as “uber stylish” as Von Donna, you better get yours soon . . . I am certain they will sell out fast.

Happy shopping . . .

Lighting Or Works Of Art?

I promised to keep you apprised of all the fabulous changes currently underway here at BV. Here is the scoop on lighting and chandeliers . . .

Combine Swarovski crystals, chain link and LED lighting and what do you have . . . a light fixture or a work of art? I have seen the prototypes and "incredible works of art" is the correct answer. We found an amazing artist from Quebec to create these masterpieces just for Bayview Village. There will be five magnificent chandeliers hanging from our Centre Court before you know it. They will be utterly bedazzling and extremely haute.

Another work of art is being created for the East Court area adjacent to our fabulous Gap store. It will reflect a totally different feeling than the chandeliers . . . more organic and modern . . . shaped from plastic resin with the ability to change color . . . a “one of a kind” creation just for you. Our customers have discriminating taste and we want all our new amenities to be “drool worthy”.

Finally, we have three incredibly cool floor lamps which will debut in their new home adjacent to Pusateri’s, which will be opening soon. This area will be exclusively for hanging out and catching up with friends, having a French Roast coffee from Lettieri, reading the latest Vogue from Chapters or grabbing a bite from our world class Pusateri’s store . . . did I mention we will also be offering free Wi-Fi to all our guests? How haute and cool . . .

We are busy working out the final details of all our plans and will be ready to debut them all very soon . . . not to mention a line-up of brand new stores including a renovated and expanded Andrews, the first Laurel store in Toronto, a brand new Luisa Cerano, the first Betty Barclay in Toronto and a very cool new Mendocino!!!!

Make sure you plan your Fall shopping spree in the hautest village of all . . . the gorgeous new BV . . . debuting this September just for you! Stay tuned . . .

Toy Watch Mania . . . Started By Guess Who?

Michelle Obama . . . Sandra Bullock . . . are you copying moi? I got my “first” Toy at least five years ago now. It was clear, with a splash ‘o white. My second was white with gold and bling . . .

Now it appears everyone is following my fashion lead . . . I guess I’m going to have to buy a third and it appears “lilac” would be the choice.

Cupido has a window-full but get yours soon . . . now that everyone knows I will be wearing “lilac” there will be a stampede . . . who will follow next . . . Lady Gaga . . . Fergie . . . Coco . . .

Does it bother you that I am so fabulous?

My Heart Is A Flutter

I LOVE . . . LOVE . . . LOVE . . . these “stud-ly” numbers . . . if I guess the correct number of studs do I get them as a prize?

There is nothing quite as fabulous as crossing your shapely, tanned legs and showing off those gorge red soles . . .

Love you Christian . . . Love you Davids . . .

Haute Quiz

What has creamy “gorge” earth tones, marble and granite, rich leather and sumptuous fabrics, delicious warm woods, Swarovski crystals and chain mesh, all topped off with a splash of BV pink? The answer is “The Bayview Village Haute Renovation”.

Every gal needs a pick me up every now and then . . . a new lipstick, mile high heels, a new haircut, a wee spot of botox? The secrets belong to the sisterhood. Well, our grand dame Ms. Bayview Village is getting the full deal, a complete makeover from top to bottom happening even as we speak.

We are presently completing some of the mundane work like dry walling and valances. But hold on to that very haute hat because it will start very soon . . . new entrances, new furniture, comfy seating areas (for reading Vogue or The New York Times or sipping a latte or nibbling on a fresh baked baguette), chandeliers, a concierge . . . it's all coming soon.

If you have seen our new washrooms . . . well, then you know how special our customers are to us!!! We are making it all so beautiful just for you.

Stay tuned . . . I will be blogging and sharing renovation secrets with you throughout the Summer . . .
