I picked up this little dress recently - it's got a flutter sleeve on one side, but it's sleeveless on the other, and it ties at the side. At first I thought the brown, grey and olive colour-blocking was a bit drab... until I tried it on. Huzzah. Especially paired with boots, the whole thing feels a … [Read more...]

From My Closet – November 25th, 2011
So, it was my birthday yesterday, and in between getting cards, and calls, and lovenotes on Facebook and whatnot, I slipped out of the house for half the morning, and perused my precious Forever 21, and basically bought the store picked up a few things. Like this cute little skirt, which has more of … [Read more...]
Getting Your Jingle On – The Safe Way
I really do love the holidays. My family isn't too far away, so when we can get together for Christmas, it's a wonderful thing. When we can't, and we must put off until January... well, that's okay too. We're not sticklers for the actual dates of the celebrations. What counts is that we … [Read more...]

She's kind of between sizes just now - size 3 is too short everywhere, but size 4 is drowning her at the moment. Today I belted this muumuu-esque t-shirt over her leggings, which literally pulled the whole thing together. This looks far better than when it was almost dress-like and wrong-looking. It … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – November 18th, 2011
Sale shopping is my favourite. Especially for kid clothes, because c'mon - at the rate they grow, they require almost an entirely new wardrobe every six months. These kids have no cousins, so the hand-me-downs tend to be few. That's really okay... but ch-ching!! I peruse the sales sections of the … [Read more...]
After School Snack
This is one of his favourites.Smoked salmon with cream cheese on a crispy cracker thingie, some salami, and a scant handful of fruit. I don't really care about nitrates - I'm just so happy the Halloween candy is almost finished, ohmygod...What do your kids like to eat when they get home from … [Read more...]

Okay: Jeggings. I've been resisting for reasons I can't explain. Possibly because they were everywhere all the time, at the same time as babies wearing diapers with a denim motif on their butts, and I was all, Can't jeans just be jeans anymore? Oy. Anyway, I was wrong. I love them now. I was in the … [Read more...]
(On The Way Out) From My Closet – November 16th, 2011
Yeah, this tunic sweater. It doesn't look horrendous or anything, but I never choose it. I love it's softness, and I love the colour. Sometimes three-quarter length sweaters bug me... but that's not the thing. Today I put it on to remember what the hell my problem is. I love a generous scoop neck on … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – November 16th, 2011
So, I've had to do a bit of shopping in a hurry for these kids, since they've suddenly grown like bad weeds, and nothing fit. Enter Old Navy. I find their stuff can be hit or miss from season to season. (I'm not finding a whole lot for my son there at the moment.) But there's LOTS of cute stuff for … [Read more...]
