First of all, I can't believe this tutu is still in rotation - it's sized 12 - 18 months, but it didn't even start to fit her properly until she was close to three years of age. It's one of her favourites because it's all swishy. It's one of my favourites because it's good ol' basic grey. It's … [Read more...]
(On The Way Out) From My Closet – September 20th, 2012
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 19th, 2012
So, what's wrong with this skirt? Nothing, really. It fits well, and the colours are good on me, but I think it's the pattern that throws me off. I feel weird whenever I wear it. I don't feel like myself. And because of that, I seldom choose it. I think I've worn it about half a dozen times since I … [Read more...]

I have a drinks date ce soir with a very tall, very glamourous fox, so I thought I'd break out this top tonight. It's sheer and breezy - perfect for summer evenings sitting on terraces and such. Until this lightweight jersey pencil skirt came along, I wasn't loving it paired with many of my other … [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. And she's got shoes to match, holy crap. So, since women generally dress for one another, I broke out this fabulous skirt for … [Read more...]

So, it was my birthday yesterday, and in between getting cards, and calls, and lovenotes on Facebook and whatnot, I slipped out of the house for half the morning, and perused my precious Forever 21, and basically bought the store picked up a few things. Like this cute little skirt, which has more of … [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...]
Urban Kid Closet – July 7th, 2011
I love ruffled shirts on everyone... and this one I didn't even buy! She loves I love when she receives clothes as birthday gifts, especially when they're this cute! She loves everything pink and skirty these days... that's three-and-a-half for you, I guess. Everything is ideal for summertime, be it … [Read more...]

The tank top is older than the skirt by a few years... generally, separates fit better on me than dresses. But this post is all about the hat. I bought this straw cowboy hat from Winners once... I think this is our third summer together. It has a handful of sparkly beads and large copper sequins … [Read more...]
