To Build a Home

December 4, 2013 by Tracey 4 Comments

Just press play - then read. [youtube id="bjjc59FgUpg"] You might have heard this song before (it's not new) - it was used on Grey's Anatomy, probably sometime in last few years or so. (I hardly watch network television anymore it seems, but I'm sure I recall it being used during a "trailer" or … [Read more...]

(On The Way Out) From My Closet – May 18th, 2013

May 19, 2013 by Urban Closet 4 Comments

I'm a bit sad about these cool kicks, but they were looking decidedly worse for wear when had to put them away last fall. Their soles were wearing thin due to the fact that I used them as brakes while riding Oliver's scooter for the last few years, and the sequins have been dropping off all over the … [Read more...]

The Closet Shrink: Spring Fling(ing)

May 16, 2013 by Urban Closet 4 Comments

I've been sorting and purging and re-storing our things over the last few weeks, but I really like this process. It lends opportunity to taking a close look at your things for the coming season or two - it's more obvious for children, who outgrow things like jackets, pants, and shoes, but my own … [Read more...]

Spring Sorting

April 10, 2013 by Tracey 11 Comments

Spring hasn't completely sprung around these parts just yet (and I heard someone say we're to expect 15 - 20 centimetres of snow on Friday... I will try not to weep, but I can make no promises.) I may not be able to put those snowpants away just yet, but the itch to get the spring sorting and … [Read more...]

The Closet Shrink: Fall Overhaul

October 15, 2012 by Urban Closet

It all started one day last week, when my son asked if there were any gloves around... damn, but the mornings can be super-chilly these days! And we keep a basket on a shelf inside the coat closet, but I haven't rifled through that thing since we stopped shoving stuff in there at the end of last … [Read more...]

(On The Way Out) From My Closet – September 20th, 2012

September 20, 2012 by Urban Closet

I can e'splain... I bought skirt close to Christmas-party season several years back - it's a high-waisted dark grey satin with a bit of black tulle at the hem, with a black grosgrain ribbon bow replete with black cherries affixed on the hip. Felt like something I could wear that said "holiday" … [Read more...]

(On The Way Out) From My Closet – September 18th, 2012

September 18, 2012 by Urban Closet

I bought this longish plain white sleeveless shirt from Forever 21 about a year ago. I had ideas of throwing it on over a tank top, or knotting it at the waist, or belting it... it didn't cost very much, so I just threw it over my arm with the other stuff I chose that day. White shirts of this kind … [Read more...]

Your Style Council – The Purge

September 13, 2012 by Urban Closet

We left off a while ago... the back-to-school round-up and other related shenanigans tend to make a good part of September a total write-off when it comes to trying to get one's own self sorted out. It's okay though - it's a process - you can't get yourself completely kitted out in one week. Nor … [Read more...]

Your Style Council – Getting Started

August 24, 2012 by Urban Closet

I'm trying a new angle here, based on a request that came from an online friend (I've met just once before) called Julie, when she mentioned on Facebook how she wanted someone to go shopping with her to get her fall wardrobe together, and on a budget. Hmmm... Earlier this summer, one of my … [Read more...]

What To Do When Your House Is Fat.

December 30, 2011 by Tracey

My sister had a small fire in her condo about a week before Christmas. She's perfectly well - all is fine, though singed in a few areas, and her bathroom will need a complete overhaul, as well as new paint throughout.As she is now preparing for the insurance and repair people to come into her space, … [Read more...]
