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 this is gardening. I say this with a snort *snorts* because our "garden" is about the size of a postage stamp, and we're not wicked green-thumbers around these parts. A few years back, we planted some cedars and lots of boxwood in the hopes of being able to maintain a reasonable looking … [Read more...]

I added this darling purple plaid shirt with the turquoise thread running through it to my cart the last time I ordered some kid stuff from Old Navy online, along with this stuff, and these tights (which are freaking adorable, like whoa). Old Navy has been good to us this fall - and you can't beat … [Read more...]

Sometime last week while I was kicking around downtown, I had all kinds of random thoughts, barely connected... you know, the way random thoughts tend to be. Oh, I have to send an email to that friend who just moved to Seattle... and I owe a phone call to my other friend in Seattle... her birthday … [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 think it's hilarious that the child can still wear this dress, which will be it's third summer - it's still cool in the mornings though, so I'm throwing it over jeans and a puffed-sleeve t-shirt until it starts scorching outside... but this post is all about the shoes. You might know about this … [Read more...]

Well, you are what you wear. *snickers* I picked up this t-shirt at Forever 21 the other day, and actually, I saw the back of it first... I thought if that shirt is in any way not horrible, then it's coming home with me. And then I saw the front. So, now it's mine. I'm getting ready to make pumpkin … [Read more...]

The weather is beginning to turn... but I'm still teaming up my favourites in different combinations, since I've had some of these items for ages. Everything but the t-shirt is old - just re-paired for freshness. Blazer, matching shoes and bag for colour, along with the flower against jaunty … [Read more...]

Yeah. The tutus. I bought this one from the place the rhymes with Sinners when this girl was just a wee babe. The pattern on this skirt was a good one (sometimes leopard prints can just be too brassy and bad) and I knew as long as it was "dressed down" it would always rock pretty hard. It's got an … [Read more...]

A simple t-shirt and shorts combination never fails... and you know how I love a flower accessory, right? Adorable summer wear, and tres chic, indeed. Amen. Ava Scarlett wears: white t-shirt with fuschia floral applique - Joe Fresh, $8 brown shorts - Old Navy, $10.50 … [Read more...]
