ECCO Spring/Summer 2011 shoes

Maybe it’s just me, but I find it very difficult to find a cute, casual shoe for spring. Dressy shoes? No problem. Shoes that are so decorated you can use them as Christmas tree decorations or a hat? Not hard to find.

A casual shoe that looks good with most things and isn’t a flip flop or boring ballet flat? Call me picky but that’s difficult.

While not all of ECCO’s spring/summer offerings were to my taste, I have to commend them for producing shoes that looks great and comfortable.

On getting the Globe and Mail

When the Globe and Mail went through a massive redesign recently, they not only redesigned the website, they also spent a lot of money on the print edition of the Globe and Mail.

I know four people who work at the Globe and Mail so when they offered a three-month free trial for their print edition, I signed up and the first issue was delivered the following Monday.
