I am currently prepping for two weeks of Spring Break with my young son. Watching the seemingly continuous rain. Contemplating how I will replace my Google Reader before July. And thinking about introducing you to 3 more style blogs that I love. This month all my links seem to have a vintage/thrifted feel to them. [...]
My regular followers will notice I have made a few changes to the Fashion Forward 40 layout. This also now includes a Link page in the top navigation. I have always been selective on who I link to, as I see it as a personal recommendation. So I have always written about why I follow [...]
It has been a long time since I've done a Fashion Follow Friday. But I've been getting questions from friends about blogs that I read regularly and felt it was about time I wrote about them here. Many, but not all, are fabulously stylish bloggers over 40 club. Thanks to Sylvia at 40+ Style and Citizen [...]
I've been following The Closet Coach as she posts The 5 levels of a Working Mom Outfits. Today my outfit is from Level 3, which she calls Casual Friday or "everyday" working uniform for those of us in more laid-back work situations. On this day the weather report was sketchy and I had errands to [...]
I haven't done a Fashion Follow Friday in a long time. So I thought I'd make a few suggestions based on designs I saw at Spend on Trend last weekend. I love Spend on Trend as it brings such a unique mix of local designers and artisans in one place. There were some old favourites [...]
Happy Easter and Earth Day! If you are looking for eco-fashion content, check out my guest blog at yummy mummy club. Now onto Follow Fashion Friday...

A few weeks back the lovely Harriet at See Theo Run gave me a Stylish Blogger Award. She included me with 5 other fantastic blogging ladies. I think I might have been the literal addition, since I blog about style. But I have to thank Harriet for not only the award, but also being my [...]
I've been following Solo Lisa for quite some time now. She is a local Vancouver fashion blogger and I really love her posts. Yes, she is a younger blogger. But she blogs great ideas that work for women at any age. Recently she started a new job and blogged about easy outfit solutions for early commuters. [...]
Over the past year I have discovered several fantastic local boutiques in Vancouver. I still love my big stores and chains. But I have a special spot in my heart for the local independent retailer. I love independent boutiques with a unique approach to style. And ones that stock quality investment pieces at prices that won't equal your house payment. Here, in [...]
I don't talk a lot about my son in my blog. Frankly because this is one of the few spaces in my life that is not about him. But my having a pre-school aged boy feeds into almost every decision I make about fashion. This morning I wore my new Green Sapphire necklace. It is made of coconut, tree [...]
