This upcoming Saturday, November 5th is the Women in Leadership Foundation's Annual Gala. The evening celebrates the 10th Anniversary of WIL and 10 years of inspiring and celebrating success. I will be attending with my very chic date Alexis from Wave the Stick. Yup the same Alexis who drove with me on my TraverseTrip to [...]
A year ago today, I posted this about my Show Conundrum. I needed new dressy black shoes for a gala and I had purchased two different pairs. I needed help deciding which to keep, as I couldn't afford to keep both. Many of you suggested I throw caution to the wind and buy both. Which in the [...]
This is another installment in my locals that I love fall series. Today is casual friday, which in a lot of offices could be called Shlumpadinka Friday (thank you Oprah for coining this perfect word that just rolls off your tongue to describe a sloppy dresser). I'd like to suggest we rename Fridays Smart Fridays. A little more casual [...]
I'm going to attempt a theme this week and feature a number of great fall items from local Vancouver designers. I know everyone else has been talking fall trends for weeks already. While September might be back-to-school, I don't really start pulling out my fall/winter wardrobe until after Thanksgiving. And then there was that week of [...]
For those of us that go into an office or have regular client meetings on Fridays... do you participate in Casual Friday? If yes, what do you define as appropriate? I got an interesting press release from Plum this week with some results of their customer's opinions on Casual Fridays. Before I spill the beans [...]
Sometimes style is about more than just our clothes. Sometimes it also includes our toys. Tech toys can be practical, convenient and yes - stylish. I recently came to be the owner of a lovely 7" android tablet. I would never have thought that I'd want or need a small tablet. We had been considering replacing our [...]
So apparently this was a What I Wore blog post week. Not a planned theme, but I guess life was just a bit busy. For next week I'm working on some other content - a review of my HTC Flyer and my pix from Eco Fashion Week. But for now, another picture of me fromthe [...]
This was a black and white sort of day, with just a touch of red lipstick to give it a kick. Black blazer, black vest (Talbots), black and white t-shirt (Joe Fresh), black pants (Banana Republic), white necklace (Fine Finds), black felt hat (C'est La Vie) and black wedges (Nine West). What is evident in this [...]
I was in Portland about 7 years ago and stumbled upon a gorgeous navy blue crepe 1940s suit (dress and blazer), that had never been worn. I bought it, intending to wear it as a going away outfit at my wedding. But I never found the right undergarments (the skin tone lace slip I had [...]
On my way home from Spend on Trend a few weeks ago I walked by the window at C'est La Vie on Main Street when I saw the most adorable hat. It was a 1920/30s Girl Friday type hat I've been looking for for years. You know the type, likely last seen worn in a Thin Man [...]
