For years we've struggled with the idea of travelling over the holiday season. We've had great experiences travelling to tropical paradises, ski getaways and everything in between during this time of year. It was always great to escape with the kids and each destination offered something wonderful … [Read more...]
UrbanCloset: What I’m Wearing During Fashion Week
It's been fun this week at the World MasterCard Fashion Week's Tent in Toronto. It 's been great to see familiar faces in the crowd and checking out the upcoming fall and winter collections from our Canadian talent. More on that all later. I've been bringing a few friends along with me to the shows … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – July 21st, 2013
Remember how I said we've embarked on The Summer of the Sundress? Well, we certainly have, but there are times when shorts just have to be the thing. I mean, really. And I got the child to acquiesce when we received these handsome green plaid cuffed shorts from a friend (the same lady who … [Read more...]
From My Closet – May 17th, 2013
I've been rearranging the closet items, busting out the good weather stuff, and packing away my big stupid brown parka and whatnot. It feels good to wear shoes without socks again, even if there's a slight chill in the air some days. I had to run a few errands not far from home, so I slipped on … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – May 3rd, 2013
Let's go, SPRING!! I did some online shopping last month, in anticipation of the warmer weather, and finally being able to put away all the wintry wollens and such... and as of last weekend, we're all exercising our right to bare arms. Witness: the sleeveless shirtdress. When I open the shipment, … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – April 25th, 2013
What is this weather doing, April? I honestly don't know, with these super-chilly mornings, and windy afternoons... it's hard to know how to dress. As I say the word dress, this child's ears prick up, and she is DESPERATE to wear some of the more summery items I bought a few weeks ago (I really … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – April 15th, 2013
I scooped up this top on sale from the Gap a few years ago, but it only started fitting her this past fall... and I found it a bit tough to pair. Sure it looked great with these adorable pink cords as well as with these cute skinny cargos, but pants are decidedly NOT her favourite. She looks at me … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – April 9th, 2013
While looking for tights for this girl several weeks back, I popped into a store I don't normally frequent, desperate in my search. It's a based-in-Quebec chain called Souris Mini (Mini Mouse). I confess that I find their stuff a little too... Idunnowhat... for my kids. I find many of the patterns … [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...]
