When spring finally springs, it's a glorious thing indeed, but we're not ready for bare legs for several weeks yet. So bring on the tights. But indeed... where are all the tights? I've been having a hell of a time finding the kind of girls tights with feet, but without any cable-stitching or ass-y … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – March 27th, 2013
First, let me say I can't believe he let me take his picture... it seems like such a rare event these days. I find dressing this boy fairly uncomplicated - give him some t-shirts he's fond of and jeans that fit the way he likes, and he's golden. I've tried pushing him in fashion directions he just … [Read more...]
What’s in a Size?
I went bra shopping today, which is my least favourite of all the shoppings. I went because my boobs are decidedly bigger than they were the last time I bought some, and the "spillage" out of the cups of my current bras was making me feel... very... soft and squishy in ways I do not like. Now, … [Read more...]
Say YES to the Dress! Kleinfeld is coming!
When I got married 20 years ago, yeah, 20, girlfriend! -- there weren't too many options for bridal wear even in this big city. Spadina or Danforth was the place to go with several shops that carried an array of white flouncy, satin, and tulle dresses that hung lifelessly in rows. Just starting out … [Read more...]
Gifting Your Good Stuff
A new season is on its way, and with it comes some new clothes - mostly for the kids at this point, who are growing like bad weeds... which means it's time to cull the closets and drawers. (I did some pain-free online shopping recently...) I have two kids of different sexes, who are also four … [Read more...]

Runway Report: MIZ by Izzy Camilleri
Well, last year this time I was already wearing heels and bare legs to the World MasterCard Fashion Week runway shows. Sadly, this year old man winter decided to stick around! BUT Never mind. It's the time of year when some of the best established and emerging Canadian fashion designers strut their … [Read more...]
(On The Way Out) From My Closet – March 18th, 2013
I think I've mentioned before how I sometimes have trouble with colour. Well... oops, I did it again. In December, I think - just when I was looking for a pick-me-up. I like the colour of this sweater, I mean I guess... and there's nothing bad about a crew neck sweater (though v-necks are often … [Read more...]
On “Real” Women and Selective Language
This image of some store mannequins in Sweden (I wish I knew what shop) have been circulating around the net for a few days - I even shared it on my Facebook page, and wrote, "These look like real women - Brava Sweden!" You've gotta dig this flicka's hairdo... and her socks are pretty rad, … [Read more...]
Nella Bella is ALL THAT….and vegan too!
In a glass enclosed space at the St. James Cathedral located in the heart of the city, was the beautiful setting for the Nella Bella Fall/Winter 2013 collections preview event. With the twinkle from the city lights bouncing on the historical church as a backdrop, some of the city's most fashionable … [Read more...]
