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...]

Last night we had dinner with friends, in their lovely and inviting house... it was our "last supper" of sorts, since we weren't sure if the world was to end or not. (As if.) So I opted for some sparkle - more that I normally might for a dinner party, but the invitation was for 8:30 PM, and anyway, … [Read more...]

I have a motto I sort of shop by: if the shoe fits, buy it. For I have wee feet, and finding the right fit can be taxing as hell. Same goes for rings and these small hands of mine. Ever since I was a teen, wandering around downtown Toronto, perusing the offerings of street vendors up and down Yonge … [Read more...]

In an effort to lighten my own mood, I've been looking at gold these days. (All year, actually - I'm still loving this sweater pretty hard...) And with a birthday gift certificate in hand from some of my foxes, I stormed my way through Forever 41 21 recently, to find some apt holiday-wear. I … [Read more...]

A friend of mine saw me coming and said, "All I see is you, twinkling..." That's good - without the sparkle, I might look kinda naked. I figure if you wear brown, and you are brown, you'd better brighten it up a little bit. Bring on the bling. There's nothing special about this crochet-knit top, … [Read more...]

Drinks, drinks, drinks... I went out for burgers in Old Montreal last night with a photographer friend of mine who's studio is a stone's throw from where we went to eat, drink, and be merry. Andrea Hausmann does some amazing work... check her out. Anyway, when you hang with someone like her, you … [Read more...]

Parties, parties, parties... I went back to black (I know) but, I fell into the Gap in a most wonderful way a couple of months back, and snapped up this jersey knit dress with a cowl neck and ruching on it's three-quarter length sleeves. It ties casually at the waist. I like how all the "slumpiness" … [Read more...]

The holidays are for dressing up! I'm meeting one of my foxes for drinks ce soir, and as she is one who makes me feel like her ugly little brother whenever we get together, I feel need to step things up a notch. (Like last time.) And can you believe I'm in ANOTHER DRESS??! It's amazing, I know. One … [Read more...]

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...]

Well, the holidays are here, and the seasonal parties are already in full effect. Sometimes, getting dressed for such occasions can be a wee bit challenging, since my social scene is relatively small, and it seems like everyone I know will be at the same parties over and over again... so, I really … [Read more...]
