The first time I visited an auction house was years ago in Los Angeles. My husband and I visited Sotheby's. Although no live auctions were taking place, we were still welcomed and had a fascinating chat with one of the reps there. I also purchased a few "collectible" auction catalogues as … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – April 25th, 2013
What is this weather doing, April? I honestly don't know, with these super-chilly mornings, and windy afternoons... it's hard to know how to dress. As I say the word dress, this child's ears prick up, and she is DESPERATE to wear some of the more summery items I bought a few weeks ago (I really … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – April 15th, 2013
I scooped up this top on sale from the Gap a few years ago, but it only started fitting her this past fall... and I found it a bit tough to pair. Sure it looked great with these adorable pink cords as well as with these cute skinny cargos, but pants are decidedly NOT her favourite. She looks at me … [Read more...]
Nothing to wear
(Image source) I know I'm supposed to feel beautiful and appreciate my pregnant body, but at 27 weeks I look at myself and see a beached whale (sigh). As I try to squeeze my over sized belly into my pre-maternity shirts I realize that it's time I do some serious shopping. When I was pregnant … [Read more...]
From My Closet – April 11th, 2013
So, I happened by the place the rhymes with Sinners the other day, mostly perusing the shoes, the way I often do... and didn't I find this cute pair of Converse sneakers? And weren't they just the right price for budget-savvy moi?! They read like a burgundy + pink tweed which gives them an all-over … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – April 9th, 2013
While looking for tights for this girl several weeks back, I popped into a store I don't normally frequent, desperate in my search. It's a based-in-Quebec chain called Souris Mini (Mini Mouse). I confess that I find their stuff a little too... Idunnowhat... for my kids. I find many of the patterns … [Read more...]

Shopping peeps, get ready! This expansion will include a three-level, … [Read more...]
Spring Hair Trends from Goody
Spring is coming...it really is. We're finally going to be able to ditch the toques; but that doesn't mean we need to cover up with a ball cap or fedora. Spring is a time to let loose and show off that crowning glory. I recently attended an event to get a sneak preview of the upcoming season's … [Read more...]

Urban Kid Closet – March 31st, 2013
I love a funky t-shirt. It's got a burn-out camo-motif in purpley blacks. And she loves rhinestones. (Who doesn't?) It was love at first click. Thank you, internet. Me: Do you like this one, Miss? Her: *lively eyes* Yeeessssss... Me: Well, okay then. (She's much more jazzed about this t-shirt in … [Read more...]
