September, you are drunk. You need to go home now... What is UP with this month? We had a sweltering jungle-like day last week, where it felt like 40 C outside, and the next day, the temps fell to something like 16 C. And then it went up again. And then down again. HELLO, CANADA. (So much for … [Read more...]

These. Pink-orange snakeskin with an iridescent finish, replete with tiny gold zippers up the back. The leather is supple, they are juicy and beautiful, and they go with just about everything. I fell instantly in love, and only hoped she'd love them as much as I do, because though I hate forcing … [Read more...]
Am Old. Need New Shoes.
Along with the crows' feet, sagging bosom and inability to stay up past 10:30 pm, a more recent sign of my aging is the fact that I can't handle wearing high-heeled shoes for more than, like, 15 minutes. Back in my "barefoot and pregnant" days, this was no problem. I was schlepping kids around in … [Read more...]

I have opportunity to meet one of my imaginary internet friends ce soir - my lady, Ilina who writes her blog Dirt and Noise as well as other freelance stuff around the place is in town with her fam damily for a few days... I look forward to meeting her in person since I almost never comment on her … [Read more...]

A friend of mine saw me coming and said, "All I see is you, twinkling..." That's good - without the sparkle, I might look kinda naked. I figure if you wear brown, and you are brown, you'd better brighten it up a little bit. Bring on the bling. There's nothing special about this crochet-knit top, … [Read more...]

It's sunny and gorgeous outside, with a reprieve from the hella hotness as of late, so some long sleeves of the sheer variety work rather well. Especially on short-shorts. It's still summer, after all. And this outfit is totally scooter-worthy, with a change footwear... (flip-flops are a total … [Read more...]

Remember these? I brought them home from the place the rhymes with Sinners a few months ago, and then upon deciding they were just too spendy for flip-flops, I returned them? Well. I spied them once more while perusing the store this weekend, and found my same pair with a gorgeous red sticker on … [Read more...]

Last night I made a date with one of my foxes to share some wine and chitty-chat at one of our favourite watering holes. As we had a wee break in the crazy-heat wave, I opted to wear this maxi-skirt - a recent score from that quick-and-dirty spree at Costa Blanca. I'm seriously in love with … [Read more...]

I was at the place the rhymes with Sinners the other day, and while perusing the shoe section, I came across this pair of Coach sandals. In silver. And they were a neat size 5 1/2. I slipped them on, and decided they were quite good, but balked at the price: $99.99. Now, they're Coach, so I get it. … [Read more...]

I have trouble with florals on myself, but I bought this dress on sale from the Gap last year, but during the summer months, it was just way too big for Madame. The shoulder straps are spaced extremely wide... this child's no linebacker. I was completely thrilled to see that it fits this summer! … [Read more...]
