So this is gardening. I say this with a snort *snorts* because our "garden" is about the size of a postage stamp, and we're not wicked green-thumbers around these parts. A few years back, we planted some cedars and lots of boxwood in the hopes of being able to maintain a reasonable looking … [Read more...]
From My Closet – June 12th, 2013
Lookit me, not wearing black for once! To be fair, Bedo had this blouse in black, and it was divine, but I forced myself to get this nude-pink one instead, and I do believe I'm in love. The blushy tone is good on me, and I'm really digging this shade of pink this year - feels fresh and flirty, … [Read more...]
Summer Cuts
Every other week, often on a Saturday (and often just after he's finished washing up the brunch dishes) Martin will turn to me and ask me if I'm ready for him. *smirks* I respond with a mais oui, and clear some room in the middle of the floor while he retrieves the black case from the … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – June 6th, 2013
Nothing beats stripes in the summertime - especially in this mix of pinks, orange, yellow, and hits of purple and blue. Throw a cardigan on top on cooler days *ahem, June!* and pair with sandals, sneakers, or flip-flops, but even bare feet will do. It's easy machine-wash cotton, which wears well … [Read more...]
From My Closet – May 29th, 2013
Oh, these rainy days... I don't love them much at all, but I'm so very glad it isn't snow. (What a thing to say in May. Oy.) I recently picked up a stretchy pair of dark wash jeggings (I hate that term) and though the sewn-closed front pockets drive me bananas, I like the fit and the feel. … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – May 23rd, 2013
As the winter was ending, a neighbour-lady of mine gave me a bag with a few things for Madame, as her own daughter had outgrown the stuff. She often saves me some excellent duds, like these pants. LOVE, I tell you. So when I opened the bag, I confess, at first I thought this lined raincoat was a … [Read more...]
Am Old. Need New Shoes.
Along with the crows' feet, sagging bosom and inability to stay up past 10:30 pm, a more recent sign of my aging is the fact that I can't handle wearing high-heeled shoes for more than, like, 15 minutes. Back in my "barefoot and pregnant" days, this was no problem. I was schlepping kids around in … [Read more...]
(On The Way Out) From My Closet – May 18th, 2013
I'm a bit sad about these cool kicks, but they were looking decidedly worse for wear when had to put them away last fall. Their soles were wearing thin due to the fact that I used them as brakes while riding Oliver's scooter for the last few years, and the sequins have been dropping off all over the … [Read more...]
From My Closet – May 17th, 2013
I've been rearranging the closet items, busting out the good weather stuff, and packing away my big stupid brown parka and whatnot. It feels good to wear shoes without socks again, even if there's a slight chill in the air some days. I had to run a few errands not far from home, so I slipped on … [Read more...]
The Closet Shrink: Spring Fling(ing)
I've been sorting and purging and re-storing our things over the last few weeks, but I really like this process. It lends opportunity to taking a close look at your things for the coming season or two - it's more obvious for children, who outgrow things like jackets, pants, and shoes, but my own … [Read more...]
