Last night, along with about 50 other women, I attended a fun clothing exchange party. We all brought 8-10 items and got to go home with some new "to us" items. I took a friend of 28 years who I knew would tell me if something could work or be salvaged. With a glass of wine [...]
The last thing I remember it was early December and I was prepping for Holiday parties and finishing my Christmas shopping. Now I look at the calendar and it is February. Between the busy holidays, January family flu season, work deadlines and award season... time has flown right by! So I find myself on February 6, 2012, posting [...]
I spent last night scouring old 1990s photos looking for shots of me wearing my dark green Dr Martens. I didn't find any good photos, but I had a great trip down memory lane. Note, I said no good photos. I found a few shots from a vacation I took with a friend down to [...]
I spent some time playing with Polyvore today. Thinking about the different ways to wear some basic pieces and jazz it up with some fun accessories. Keeping with my rule of 3 theme I created an errand day, casual friday and work day outfit all centred around a grey shawl cardigan and white t-shirt. I [...]
Today my husband surprised me with his request to go to the mall. Apparently he is in desperate need of new pants and wanted to check the last of the sales. I can now report one of the best times to visit the mall is New Year's Day morning. Everyone else is at home recovering [...]

I know my husband has only just started to seriously think about what to get me for Christmas this year. I made his life a bit easier this year by purchasing a DConstruct resin cuff and ring for myself, from him, at the One of a Kind Show. But I am hoping he also picks up [...]
The Huffington Post Canada recently launched a Citizen Style section. They asked style bloggers across Canada to submit street style photos. I submitted a piece and had one of my pictures featured here. I am so excited that they included this middle aged fashion blogger and love the picture they picked. I thought I would post here the [...]
Dear Santa, I know it has been a long long time since you've heard from me (about 33 years). But over the past year I've blogged about all sorts of stylish items. And I thought you might find it confusing to know what items I really really really wanted in my closet this Christmas. I have [...]
Last week I was invited to speak at the monthly Vancouver Blogger Meetup along with 3 other local fashion bloggers. I was honoured to be asked by Raul at Hummingbird604 to participate in the panel. Raul contacted me because he wanted some diversity on the panel and felt my 40+ perspective would be a good addition. [...]
