I find blazers to be one of the easiest things to throw on whenever you want to pull your look together fast. Most will work over just about anything, from jeans, to a skirt. Or in this case, a jean skirt. This mini is short, I realise, but it works because it's juxtaposed with the tall boots … [Read more...]

So, I went to this wicked burlesque show at the Rialto Theatre last night - my sister was the headlining act, and she killed. When I go to one of these things, I like to dress with some drah-mah, without looking completely ridiculous. It ain't exactly a costume party, but close. I wore this black … [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...]

Last night, we went to a neighbour's house for an evening of good cheer. Our hostess has one of the best collection of frocks I have ever seen... and she really wears them.

It ties casually at the waist. I like how all the "slumpiness" … [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...]

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...]

I bought this little skirt during a sidewalk sale from Le Chateau. It was just hanging there, completely adorable and beckoning... it's sage in colour, perfectly soft and already kinda worn looking - ideal for summer schlepping, when you don't want to look too crisp. Plus, it's a nice change from … [Read more...]
