Tonight was the opening party for Eco Fashion Week at the Aveda salon in Gas Town. I have to admit I'm a committed Aveda customer. My hair salon is Aveda and most of my make up is too. And their scents are some of the few that don't bother my allergies. There were also yummy vodka drinks and dark [...]

Last week I attended the Women in Leadership Foundation's Sweet Talk networking event. There was chocolate, wine and fashion - what wasn't there to like?!? Stylist Tracy Richardson gave us some great tips on style. Stella & Dot and Lou Lou Luv both had fantastic jewelry exhibits. There were fantastic prizes from Lav & Kush as [...]
Continuing on my theme of wearing things multiple ways - and taking advantage of the pictures Nance let me take of her this week (hey I have to take as much advantage as I can, as I know she'll never let me do it again). She bought herself this burnt orange vest from "How Bazaar" [...]
Nance, my closest girlfriend, can take one piece of clothing and work it in so many ways. We started with a half moon wrap skirt from"How Bazaar" in PEI. In the end we had 2 skirt styles and 4 dress styles. I know I should have taken "how to" pictures too, but there has to be [...]
My closest girlfriend turned 40 last week. We celebrated with some pedicures and lunch without hubbies or kids. I met Nance in 1991 in Budapest Hungary. We were 2 Canadian girls on exchange and we clicked right away. We have shared life experiences as room mates, brides maids and god parents. We share the same shoe size. Nance is [...]
Last week Women in Leadership Foundation hosted their mentorship picnic at Locarno Beach. It was a lovely afternoon with the ladies. Most importantly it was an opportunity to run into Lili Vieira de Carvalho again. I met Lili at last year's Women in Leadership Foundation Gala (she and a girlfriend won tickets from @miss604). She is now taking part [...]
To continue with this week's scarf theme, here is the lovely Harriet from See Theo Run looking oh so European casual in this white oblong H&M scarf. (and apologies to the beautiful Harriet for my horrible lighting that shades her face and my inability to figure out how to fix it in photoshop). Did you [...]
This is a semi-wordless Wednesday post. I attended an event last week called Harnessing the Power of Digital Mums. It was very interesting hearing both the blogger and PR perspectives. In addition to a great topic, there were some great shoes. And one fantastic Canadian designer dress. Jeanette Miller, from Limelite PR hosted the event. While not yet [...]
Flashback to the 1980s and the early days of Much Music and a young 23-year-old VJ named Erica Ehm. Without a script, no training and no internet Erica launched onto the Canadian scene - one of the first women in her field. She got to interview rock stars. She got to wear cool, trendy clothes. She refused, [...]
