I think back-to-school season hits me harder than my kids. This week, I plan on taking them shopping. Gasp! While there are still a few weeks of summer to go, I’ve learned that pacing the back-to-school shopping is less overwhelming for the kids, me, and my wallet. Hopefully, it also lessens the … [Read more...]
From My Closet – August 2nd, 2013
I don't know what this weather is doing. Heat-wave followed by chilly spell... it's all a lady can do, trying to get dressed and look relatively fly while out and about town. I had to break out a toque last week while in the woods, and to be fair, it sometimes feels so comforting. And it lends a … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – March 31st, 2013
I love a funky t-shirt. It's got a burn-out camo-motif in purpley blacks. And she loves rhinestones. (Who doesn't?) It was love at first click. Thank you, internet. Me: Do you like this one, Miss? Her: *lively eyes* Yeeessssss... Me: Well, okay then. (She's much more jazzed about this t-shirt in … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – March 27th, 2013
First, let me say I can't believe he let me take his picture... it seems like such a rare event these days. I find dressing this boy fairly uncomplicated - give him some t-shirts he's fond of and jeans that fit the way he likes, and he's golden. I've tried pushing him in fashion directions he just … [Read more...]
From My Closet – December 22nd, 2012
Last night we had dinner with friends, in their lovely and inviting house... it was our "last supper" of sorts, since we weren't sure if the world was to end or not. (As if.) So I opted for some sparkle - more that I normally might for a dinner party, but the invitation was for 8:30 PM, and anyway, … [Read more...]

Who IS this girl in all this bright colour?! Don't ask me. I hardly recognise myself. I sometimes have trouble when it comes to colour. Especially when it's this bright! But, it's hella hot in the city again these days, so short-shorts rule. I like the hot pinks and oranges in this checkered … [Read more...]

Nothing says "simple" like jeans and a t-shirt, but we don't have to be all schlumpy about things (if we don't want to) and it's easy to perk things up with a some heels and a bit of bling. I love the cut of this off-white burnout v-neck tee, which has a rounded hemline, and very short sleeves - … [Read more...]
From My Closet – July 28th, 2011
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...]
Featured Mom Business: Huddy Buddy
"But I don't want to go back to work." Huddy Buddy (the kid) arrived in 2003 and was reason enough to give up corporate life. After eight long years "workin' for the man", it was time to start hangin' out with a new little man. We quickly noticed that he was dressed like every … [Read more...]
