The announcement that Target would be opening stores across Canada in March 2013 was met with great fanfare. Many of us have become fans of Tar-jay on cross-border jaunts, and there are certain products that are worth a drive to Buffalo (Sonia Kashuk's Barely There Loose Powder in Naked...I'm … [Read more...]

Most of the time, I'm looking like this these days. It's as cold as a muther out there, yo. For realz. I can't stand it. Okay: belts. Over the holidays, one of my foxes came to spend a few days at the cottage with us, which was all kinds of casual fun. At one point, she bent over to pick up … [Read more...]
Peter Rabbit for Your Little Bunny
Almost 14 years ago, my husband and I started to decorate our very first baby's room. We didn't know whether said baby was a boy or a girl, but I had very strong feelings about the decor. I'd found a wallpaper border with Beatrix Potter illustrations, and the rest of the room fell into place around … [Read more...]
Grown Up Winter Boots…with Style!
I remember reading a friend's comment that being a grown up meant being smart enough to wear sensible winter boots. I suffered through many winters in my teenage years trying to get away with sneakers in January, plastic bags under rain boots and desert boots in the snow. Winter is very miserable … [Read more...]

It only feels like -4 C outside today. Wooooo-hoooo!! I thought about wearing shorts, but then I remembered we're not living on that kind of island. Le sigh. So I can ditch the big brown parka in favour of this lightweight down-filled one in charcoal I picked up on a super sale from GAP last … [Read more...]

You know how much I hate winter, right? Yes. I feel cold all the time, and so totally braced for chilliness, I feel like every muscle in my body is clenched, from say, late December until about April or so. The only comfort is a bottle of wine staying indoors until springtime comfy things to … [Read more...]
From My Closet – December 22nd, 2012
Last night we had dinner with friends, in their lovely and inviting house... it was our "last supper" of sorts, since we weren't sure if the world was to end or not. (As if.) So I opted for some sparkle - more that I normally might for a dinner party, but the invitation was for 8:30 PM, and anyway, … [Read more...]

I have a motto I sort of shop by: if the shoe fits, buy it. For I have wee feet, and finding the right fit can be taxing as hell. Same goes for rings and these small hands of mine. Ever since I was a teen, wandering around downtown Toronto, perusing the offerings of street vendors up and down Yonge … [Read more...]

In an effort to lighten my own mood, I've been looking at gold these days. (All year, actually - I'm still loving this sweater pretty hard...) And with a birthday gift certificate in hand from some of my foxes, I stormed my way through Forever 41 21 recently, to find some apt holiday-wear. I … [Read more...]
From My Closet – December 14th, 2012
So this is Christmas... shopping. I've been mourning hibernating chilling for the last couple of weeks, but suddenly the holidays are here again, and there are a million and one things to do. And as the very wise Fernando from SNL once proclaimed, "Daaah-ling, it is much better to look good, than … [Read more...]
