Sometime last week while I was kicking around downtown, I had all kinds of random thoughts, barely connected... you know, the way random thoughts tend to be. Oh, I have to send an email to that friend who just moved to Seattle... and I owe a phone call to my other friend in Seattle... her birthday … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – June 5th, 2012
I think it's hilarious that the child can still wear this dress, which will be it's third summer - it's still cool in the mornings though, so I'm throwing it over jeans and a puffed-sleeve t-shirt until it starts scorching outside... but this post is all about the shoes. You might know about this … [Read more...]

I wore this around town yesterday - the sweater is a really light weight knit in a gold thread, and I love the simple neckline. Good with the simple gold flip-flop and dark jeans. Simple is good. And when later I suddenly looked up and it was nearly 8 PM, and I had a drinks date in fifteen minutes? … [Read more...]

It's been a busy week so far, so these oversized sunglasses are completely necessary. When they're THIS big, they can conceal a multitude of sins. I'm exhausted. But? I look fabulous. I am soooooo #winning. And to add to the "cartoonish" nature of this outfit, I picked up this lightweight knit … [Read more...]
TWEEN BOYS AND SWAG!
In one month my 9 year old boy will be turning 10. Something has happened to him and I am both amused and dismayed. Since he could walk he hated wearing jeans. It didn't matter how much I pleaded he refused to wear them and pretty well lived in track pants and tee-shirts. So … [Read more...]

Green is my favourite colour. You wouldn't know it unless I told you. There isn't a whole lot of green in my house. I don't have any green rooms, or linens or walls. I just love the colour. So much so that I have a board on pinterest called Green makes me feel goodIt really does make me … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – November 18th, 2011
Sale shopping is my favourite. Especially for kid clothes, because c'mon - at the rate they grow, they require almost an entirely new wardrobe every six months. These kids have no cousins, so the hand-me-downs tend to be few. That's really okay... but ch-ching!! I peruse the sales sections of the … [Read more...]
From My Closet – November 17th, 2011
Okay: Jeggings. I've been resisting for reasons I can't explain. Possibly because they were everywhere all the time, at the same time as babies wearing diapers with a denim motif on their butts, and I was all, Can't jeans just be jeans anymore? Oy. Anyway, I was wrong. I love them now. I was in the … [Read more...]
From My Closet – November 9th, 2011
It's downright balmy outside today, especially for November. I've decided to break out this sweater, which I don't wear very often, and is a bit of an oldie, but still a goodie. It's got a wide bat-wing sleeve, which doesn't fit well under any of my coats (are you sad for me yet?) but she is a … [Read more...]

One minute it's cold. And then it's not so much. And I'm still carving pumpkins, so I need some flexibility... This short-sleeved knitted hoodie was a gift from my mum a few years ago. I don't usually go for hoodies - they're just not my thing, generally, but I like this one. The fit is short, which … [Read more...]
