Remember these? I brought them home from the place the rhymes with Sinners a few months ago, and then upon deciding they were just too spendy for flip-flops, I returned them? Well. I spied them once more while perusing the store this weekend, and found my same pair with a gorgeous red sticker on … [Read more...]
From My Closet – December 15th, 2011
When you wear as much black as I do, then you'll appreciate how it's all about the bling. And as none of us are Astors, or Vanderbilts, we are fooling no one with our baubles - I'm not trying to pass any of these off as the real deal (I mean, c'mon now) but finding good looking costume jewellery to … [Read more...]

I picked up this little dress recently - it's got a flutter sleeve on one side, but it's sleeveless on the other, and it ties at the side.

Accessories – A Word on Belts
Oh mah goodness... I'm posting this as an emergency. (Sorry for the terrible pic.) Based on the comments here some of you never wear belts, I guess. Whether or not you have muffin top issues... whether your pants fit you correctly or not... may I please introduce the quarter-tuck. For casual … [Read more...]
Accessories – May 20th, 2011
I picked up this gorgeous belt by Guess last week from Winners (my favourite!) for $29.99. I wanted something with a more summertime feeling, so I can take a break from the black and brown ones I usually wear all fall and winter. I love the silvery distressed metallic finish, and a handful of blingy … [Read more...]
