As important as backpacks and school supplies are, everyone knows that your back-to-school outfits are the MOST important thing. Like, ever. The perfect outfit can give your child the confidence to walk into that classroom and just slay. And it’s important to keep that momentum going with on fleek … [Read more...]
Make Holiday Shopping A Breeze With These Apps
Holiday shopping can be stressful for some of us. Stepping into my nearby mall on any given weekend requires careful planning on my part. It's not a time to browse with a latte in hand, if you know what I mean! I definitely have a budget in mind for each person on my list. I've done my research and … [Read more...]
Urban Closet – January 27
I love when a trip the grocery store inspires a brand new outfit. With literally 60 minutes from the time I threw my daughter on the ice for hockey practice to the time she came off, I had to drive to the grocery store, park, get in, do a week's worth of shopping, get out, unpack, drive back and … [Read more...]
The Business of Retail
I've been mulling and stewing and thinking about the issue big business + retail clothing for a while now, but especially since the recent tragedy of the building that collapsed in Bangladesh over two weeks ago. The death toll is nearing 900 persons, lots of them women. As is the case of every … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – October 26th, 2012
I added this darling purple plaid shirt with the turquoise thread running through it to my cart the last time I ordered some kid stuff from Old Navy online, along with this stuff, and these tights (which are freaking adorable, like whoa). Old Navy has been good to us this fall - and you can't beat … [Read more...]
Tales from a non-Fashionista: Joe Fresh
No Canadian Fashion Week is complete without a little love from Joe Fresh. I actually wonder if they had the produce aisle in mind when they came up with this cap. Nonetheless, here's a look at what'll be in grocery stores near you this coming fall... … [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...]
Urban Kid Closet – November 16th, 2011
So, I've had to do a bit of shopping in a hurry for these kids, since they've suddenly grown like bad weeds, and nothing fit. Enter Old Navy. I find their stuff can be hit or miss from season to season. (I'm not finding a whole lot for my son there at the moment.) But there's LOTS of cute stuff for … [Read more...]
From My Closet – November 8th, 2011
I was at a big Joe Fresh store the other day, and scooped up one of their new nail lacquers. I've been looking for such a shade for some time now... a change from my super-deep reds, which feel more wintery than this shade called "Storm." It's taupe-ish. It's grey-ish. It's purple-ish. It's … [Read more...]
Tales from a non-Fashionista: Joe Fresh
If Joe Fresh has anything to say about it, it's going to be an Orange, Blue and White spring. Being a non-fashionista, I'm not sure if it's always the case, but there were definitely a few similarities between Pink Tartan and Joe Fresh's 2012 spring lines. There were also … [Read more...]
