I got three compliments on this sweater today while I ran out for forty-five minutes... it's got a gold thread running through it, and it's very light-weight. Jaunty, she is. Lovely over these white jeans... I reckon she'll be gorgeous over small white shorts, too. Who knew a gold sweater would … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – June 6th, 2012
It's getting warmer out there... I have to say that butterflies tend to be my least favourites in motifs in clothing for girls. (Hearts are a close runner-up.)

I wore this around town yesterday - the sweater is a really light weight knit in a gold thread, and I love the simple neckline. Good with the simple gold flip-flop and dark jeans. Simple is good. And when later I suddenly looked up and it was nearly 8 PM, and I had a drinks date in fifteen minutes? … [Read more...]

It’s March and I’m thinking of Lucky Charms!
I'm pretty sure that I don't need to tell you what's "charming" about Pandora. You probably already know. Hubbies and good friends know this company has made it easy when it comes to gift giving. After explaining to my hubby that Pandora is a "no brainer" for me and his mom - a light went … [Read more...]
