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 [...]
Today felt like school picture day, and none of the pictures we took worked. And then my husband had to run back into the yard to stop our dinner on bbq from burning. So I set up the tripod and still nothing seemed to work, partly because I had a 4 year running around my [...]
My daycare provider asked me today how I had so many nice jewelry pieces. I told her "visit good quality stores and head straight to the sale section". Today's necklace was a great little steal from Fine Finds in Yaletown. Although I'm not supposed to be shopping, I couldn't turn down this $8 necklace. Plus [...]
Over the summer most of the networking events take a break, and then come back in a flurry in the fall. And because so many people are dealing with back-to-school, back-to-work and general back to rain in early September, everyone plans those events for late September. And the third week in September in particular. I [...]
Earlier this month I picked up a new "to me" scarf at Value Village. I posted a pic of the frugal $2.99 find. And I tied it on my denim bag. But I had not yet worn it. So here is the picture of me finally wearing said scarf. It was one of the last [...]
What do you wear when you are running errands, on a hot September day, with a pre-schooler in tow? Somehow I suspect the answer includes the word "comfortable". On this errand running day I wore my Straight Leg Levi's worn rolled up for fun (yup the ones I bought a size too large). On top was my Nicole Bridger [...]
Last Friday I experimented with some bright colour blocking to work. I realized after I was at work that none the items I wore were over $50. Who says it has to cost a lot to look great?!? I wore this outfit because I wanted to see how my new mustard cardigan would work with [...]
So my netbook had a mini breakdown during Blogher. I can't blame it really it was a crazy busy trip with blogging on my lap in the backseat of the Traverse and then all those sessions and parties. The unfortunate result was that I couldn't download any of my outfit pictures after the first day. [...]
