WHERE: Ideal Bicycle (1178 Queen East, 416-463-2453)
CLOTHING: “These shoes were $200 at the Bike Show (National Trade Centre, 416-363-1292). My Defeet socks cost $12 at Ideal Bike. My Value Village (924 Queen East, 416-778-4818, and others) pants were $6 – I shortened them for spring. I rescued this State of Texas belt buckle from an ex-boyfriend’s closet and put it on this $35 belt from Bootmaster (609 Yonge, 416-927-1054). My white Triple5Soul T-shirt was $20 at Aritzia (280 Queen West, 416-977-9919, and others), and this Diesel jacket is my honey’s. She got it at Over the Rainbow (101 Yorkville, 416-967-7448) for $120. My scarf was $6 U.S. at a Van Heusen outlet in Lake Placid, New York. The chunky silver ring on my left hand is by Tyronne Kerr (416-760-5943, by appointment) and was $100, and my other ring cost $45 at Eye Spy (1100 Queen East, 416-461-4061).”
HAIR: “I get my hair done by Rhonda, the owner of R. W. Salon (892 Pape, 416-421-1932).”
MY STYLE: “Equal parts old, new and borrowed… with a twist.”
INTO: “Training for bike races, riding in the Friends For Life bike rally to Montreal this year, which raises money for the PWA Foundation (bikerally@pwatoronto.org). Playing with the gals in our band, Moneycake. Our next gig is at the Cameron House (408 Queen West, 416-703-0811) April 28. I’m also into good coffee – Janelle at Jet Fuel (519 Parliament) makes the best macchiato in the city.”
