You've seen the ads on TV or on the pages of fashion magazines. You know, the model strutting down the runway with the White Cashmere Bathroom Tissue (BT) rolling off her dress, remember? It's hard to believe that the concept of BT couture started nine years ago challenging emerging Canadian fashion … [Read more...]
(On The Way Out) From My Closet – September 20th, 2012
I can e'splain... I bought skirt close to Christmas-party season several years back - it's a high-waisted dark grey satin with a bit of black tulle at the hem, with a black grosgrain ribbon bow replete with black cherries affixed on the hip. Felt like something I could wear that said "holiday" … [Read more...]
The one MUST HAVE in your fall wardrobe…
As the weather turns cooler do you start wearing boots with everything? I sure do! I live in boots! They are stylish, and effortless. They go with dresses and skinny jeans. But hey, us ladies need a little covering on our legs and comfort on our feet, right?So, get this...on a cold Chicago day … [Read more...]
(On The Way Out) From My Closet – September 19th, 2012
So, what's wrong with this skirt? Nothing, really. It fits well, and the colours are good on me, but I think it's the pattern that throws me off. I feel weird whenever I wear it. I don't feel like myself. And because of that, I seldom choose it. I think I've worn it about half a dozen times since I … [Read more...]
Streaming, flaxen, waxen!
So I am pretty bald. But I wasn't born that way. Wait, maybe I was. But then my hair grew. And grew. And grew until I had a beautiful curly afro ballooning from my cranium for the majority of my adolescence. You see, I was part of what could only be described as the "burners" growing up and to be … [Read more...]
(On The Way Out) From My Closet – September 18th, 2012
I bought this longish plain white sleeveless shirt from Forever 21 about a year ago. I had ideas of throwing it on over a tank top, or knotting it at the waist, or belting it... it didn't cost very much, so I just threw it over my arm with the other stuff I chose that day. White shirts of this kind … [Read more...]
Your Style Council – The Purge
We left off a while ago... the back-to-school round-up and other related shenanigans tend to make a good part of September a total write-off when it comes to trying to get one's own self sorted out. It's okay though - it's a process - you can't get yourself completely kitted out in one week. Nor … [Read more...]
From My Closet – September 12th, 2012
The mornings have been chilly this week, but once the sun comes out full-force, the temps are in the mid-twenties... this wool jacket keeps the wind off me as I whoosh and wind over the shady sidewalks, getting my kid to school. Almost everything I have on is ancient, but the pants are new-ish. I … [Read more...]
From the Boardroom to the Red Carpet: Tips from a Stylist

Your Style Council – Getting Started
I'm trying a new angle here, based on a request that came from an online friend (I've met just once before) called Julie, when she mentioned on Facebook how she wanted someone to go shopping with her to get her fall wardrobe together, and on a budget. Hmmm... Earlier this summer, one of my … [Read more...]
