Sarah Nicole Prickett does things like send manic emails (followed up with text messages), edit our weekend Style Sheet overnight, and respond, “Well, this isn’t a surprise to anyone,” when you tell her she is right about something. Between all of this, she somehow manages to coordinate photo shoots, attend fashion shows, and write some of our favourite features. Honestly.
1. “Leonard Cohen: The Complete Columbia albums came out around my birthday this year and no one bought it for me, so I fired all my friends. Mom???” $88.99 at Sonic Boom.
2. “Anyone who knows me knows I love a black leather upper/wooden platform combo like nobody’s biz. I would never buy these artisanal, architectural, yada yada ETS Callatay shoes for myself, because it’s soo much money to pay for what is essentially a derby shoe on a Jenga block, but I can wish.” 796.00 at LN-CC.
3. “Deborah Turbeville is my favourite fashion photographer of all time. She saw clothes as incidental to the mood, not the main story, and created lingering images of romantic entropy that are exactly what I feel to be true. I actually need this book.” $85 at Pink Tartan (77 Yorkville) and bookstores.
4. “Maryam Keyhani is one of my favourite women in the world and a dear friend and I already have one of her necklaces, but I’m greedy.”
5. “My boyfriend and I have been meaning to go see Jay Isaac about a painting for months now. Sorry Jay! Someday… I like modern abstraction and muddled, glimmering colours and really, I just want a great big slab of paint on the wall.”
