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...]

September, you are drunk. You need to go home now... What is UP with this month? We had a sweltering jungle-like day last week, where it felt like 40 C outside, and the next day, the temps fell to something like 16 C. And then it went up again. And then down again. HELLO, CANADA. (So much for … [Read more...]

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...]

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...]

From My Closet – January 25th, 2013
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...]
Urban Kid Closet – November 22nd, 2011
She's kind of between sizes just now - size 3 is too short everywhere, but size 4 is drowning her at the moment. Today I belted this muumuu-esque t-shirt over her leggings, which literally pulled the whole thing together. This looks far better than when it was almost dress-like and wrong-looking. It … [Read more...]
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...]
