I miss Tracey's Urban Closet reports. I miss seeing how she would scoot around town looking effortlessly cool. I miss stories about her adorable kids and the fun she'd get into with "her foxes". I remember her words and take them to heart, and think of her when I do a half-tuck, add some sparkle to … [Read more...]
Urban Closet – Go Canada! Edition
One of the gifts I was most excited about at Christmas was a set of CANADA t-shirts for my husband and all three kids from The Bay. I wrote on Trend Watch about the fantastic line of Olympic apparel at The Bay this season, and I imagined great photo ops of them all decked out in their national … [Read more...]

Urban Closet – January 27
I love when a trip the grocery store inspires a brand new outfit. With literally 60 minutes from the time I threw my daughter on the ice for hockey practice to the time she came off, I had to drive to the grocery store, park, get in, do a week's worth of shopping, get out, unpack, drive back and … [Read more...]
Urban (Commuter) Closet
Being an urban commuter is a challenge at this time of year. I joked with a fellow bus rider yesterday that I spend hours lying in bed thinking about how many layers to wear on any given day...but it's no joke. Consider today. I needed to walk five minutes to my bus stop and wait a potential ten … [Read more...]

From My Closet – December 16th, 2013
Winter is here in full force, like whoa. I'm not sure if I've even mentioned how I feel about this kind of cold weather, but in case I've not been clear, I HATE YOU, WINTER. With some passionate expletives at the end, most of them beginning with the word, muther. It's so cold outside, it hurts my … [Read more...]
From My Closet – December 10th, 2013
I did a bit of post-birthday shopping last Thursday, right after I finished getting an awesome foot massage at Footsie Reflexology (seriously, yo... you should go!) which is located across the street from The Bay... so wandered in to have a gander, and it seemed like the entire ladieswear department … [Read more...]
From My Closet – November 30th, 2013
I should title this post "A Tale of Two Tights". Patterned tights can be tricky to wear sometimes: ones with heavy ribs need to run straight up and down, as do the sorts with cables, or else you look like an errant child. Depending on the size and shape of a motif-type, the lower leg can appear … [Read more...]
