We had a brief nice few days so I was able to take an outfit picture last week. It is not necessarily my most inventive outfit day. But I spent a lot of time talking about buying a vest (Talbots) last fall and haven't really shown it in practice. Plus I love these argyle tights (Hue). [...]
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 [...]
Last week I attended a Client's Holiday dinner party. The invitation said Smart Casual. Well to me Smart Casual is what I wear on Fridays, so after some discussion with other attendees I decided to pull out a bit of holiday glitz. I have a bronze sequined top that was a gift from earlier this [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
On November 5th I got all glammed out and went to the Women in Leadership Foundation Decade of Dreams Gala. The lovely Alexis agreed to be my date and we both styled it up - including almost matching long black gloves. I have a great 60s esque lace dress, that I will admit makes me [...]
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 [...]
