Well, you are what you wear. *snickers* I picked up this t-shirt at Forever 21 the other day, and actually, I saw the back of it first... I thought if that shirt is in any way not horrible, then it's coming home with me. And then I saw the front. So, now it's mine. I'm getting ready to make pumpkin … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – October 25th, 2011
I bought this jacket from Old Navy a year ago, and it still fits this fall - yay for tiny kids who hardly grow at all! I love a hit of military whenever possible (it cuts the sweetness, like I've said before) and this one looks terrific over everything, from jeans to skirts. In my experience, Old … [Read more...]

Earlier today I was invited to a senior's residence to show the old kids how to rock Michael Jackson's face out of an orange orb. (Fun!) When meeting new people, it's always a good idea to wear something you like and feel good in, right? Well, I LOVE this little top I picked up at Forever 21 … [Read more...]

Just for drinks with some foxes. Since I'm not very tall, just about every single pair of jeans I own need turning under, or in this case, over. I like the exaggerated height on the cuff, which also helps showcase these wonderful spectator pumps. They have an eyelet detail, which makes them feel a … [Read more...]

Question: Well, Jackie-O-my god, will she EVER stop wearing those white jeans? Answer: Nope. It's rainy, but not cold. Take that, October. (Also? Thanks to a stellar turtleneck find from Zara, my daughter may or may not have this exact same outfit. It's just that simple and good.) black turtleneck - … [Read more...]

The weather is beginning to turn... but I'm still teaming up my favourites in different combinations, since I've had some of these items for ages. Everything but the t-shirt is old - just re-paired for freshness. Blazer, matching shoes and bag for colour, along with the flower against jaunty … [Read more...]

I actually wore this blouse yesterday since I was hosting my back-to-school brunch for my mummy-friends in my neighbourhood. A sheer blouse over jeans says, "I'm dressy, I'm casual, and oh yes that is my bra... what of it?" all at the same time. I wore it with some sparkly ballet flats and twinkly … [Read more...]

Well, it's that time of year again: the early morning scramble to get my kid to school in time for the 7:55 AM school bell. Holy crap. I only have time to throw on the pants I wore yesterday over the shirt I wore to bed... draw in some eyebrows and brush my teeth. The leather jacket wards off the … [Read more...]

I dig stripes about as much as I dig ruffles... because I love texture over colour, I guess. While my sister was here visiting a few weeks ago, she spied this top and told me to buy it. Soft stretchy cotton with long sleeves - ideal for rounding out these dog days of summer, when the air gets a bit … [Read more...]

I don't know what's happened to summer, but it's been either rainy or overcast, and sometimes downright chilly for days. I'm never sure what to put on. But today it was this - ideal for running errands around town... and the last few hours sans children of Martin's stay-cation ebbed away today, so … [Read more...]
