I did a bit of post-birthday shopping last Thursday, right after I finished getting an awesome foot massage at Footsie Reflexology (seriously, yo... you should go!) which is located across the street from The Bay... so wandered in to have a gander, and it seemed like the entire ladieswear department … [Read more...]

And just like that, the temps are below zero. Oh joy, my favourite season is here. *rolls eyes* I love an infinity scarf. So much, I force them on my darling husband as well - they look amazing on him, and they're as cozy as all get out. So when I spied this one a few months back (in that … [Read more...]

I'm basically in accessories mode, a) because it's autumn, and it's time to break out all the cool stylin' tricks, and 2) because my anniversary was a month ago, and you know what Martin and I gave each other? BRICKS. (Totally romantic, yo - a timeless classic, one might even say.) Growing kids have … [Read more...]

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...]

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...]

After doing a re-set on our hall closet last week, I noticed I could use a few new shots of colour for fall. This is a good trick to use when your wardrobe is mostly monochromatic, as mine is. Hits of texture, pattern, and/or colour are necessary. This outfit isn't new per se, but a few new … [Read more...]

Yeah, so... stretchy teal cords. I've mentioned before about having trouble with colour sometimes, but this isn't like whackadoodle blue or anything... this tone is easy to wear - and it plays well with other blues, browns, and greys. (Tip: Coloured jeans or cords are a fun way to modern-up your … [Read more...]

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...]

So, I went to this wicked burlesque show at the Rialto Theatre last night - my sister was the headlining act, and she killed. When I go to one of these things, I like to dress with some drah-mah, without looking completely ridiculous. It ain't exactly a costume party, but close. I wore this black … [Read more...]

I have a drinks date ce soir with a very tall, very glamourous fox, so I thought I'd break out this top tonight. It's sheer and breezy - perfect for summer evenings sitting on terraces and such. Until this lightweight jersey pencil skirt came along, I wasn't loving it paired with many of my other … [Read more...]
