I wouldn't bother to polish the bathroom chrome if I didn't think he noticed or appreciated it.* * *If ours is to be a long marriage (and I hope it is) then I suppose we will look back on these years as being the middle part. I'm not sure what all the right components or ingredients are, or if … [Read more...]
Getting All Hung Up
I finally framed these two images for the kids' bedroom - specifically for my daughter - since my kids share the space. I want the room to reflect two genders and two ages. I knew these small prints by Canada's own Camilla d'Errico felt like the perfect thing, ever since I found them sometime … [Read more...]
From My Closet – September 12th, 2011
The weather is beginning to turn... but I'm still teaming up my favourites in different combinations, since I've had some of these items for ages.

Let Them Eat Quiche

From My Closet – September 9th, 2011
I actually wore this blouse yesterday since I was hosting my back-to-school brunch for my mummy-friends in my neighbourhood.

Urban Kid Closet – August 31st, 2011
Now that the summer swelter is truly behind us, Madame can wear this adorable blouse I picked up in the late spring. Besides the fact that she's grown a bit and it just fits her better, with temps in the low-twenties these days, it doesn't look like she'd be roasting inside it. She'll be wearing … [Read more...]

Yeah, well I continued to moan inside my head about it for months and months, until I became brilliant.But wait... isn't she brilliant already? you might ask... and indeed, I TRULY AM!!A few short weeks ago, as my mum and sister … [Read more...]
From My Closet – August 30th, 2011
Well, it's that time of year again: the early morning scramble to get my kid to school in time for the 7:55 AM school bell. Holy crap. I only have time to throw on the pants I wore yesterday over the shirt I wore to bed... draw in some eyebrows and brush my teeth. The leather jacket wards off the … [Read more...]
