In honour of casual Friday, and to help debunk the idea that style bloggers look glamorous all the time, I thought I'd post this cute (but firmly NON-glam) outfit I wore to do school pick-up last week. It was also an opportunity to show off the purple spring jacket I got for my birthday from my [...]
As I get older I am less likely to wear short dresses or skirts. When the hemline starts creeping up past my knee I start to get uncomfortable. This is interesting as I grew up figure skating, and ran around in barely there skirts most of my formative years. But today as I edge towards [...]
Last week was Pink Shirt Day at most schools in the province of BC, to help bring attention to bullying. With a Kindergartener in the house, we had him all ready for the day (in a CKNW Orphan's Fund t-shirt, which helped fund Boys and Girls Club anti-bullying programs). Then he asked what I was [...]
It is a bit too chilly to go outside with my tripod to take outfit pictures on my own right now. So I am stuck in the hallway outside my room. I shoot here for a couple of reasons - (1) you can't see the mess in my house, and (2) it has reasonably decent [...]
I wanted a nice, but not too dress outfit to wear to a small get-together with some friends. I was tired of jeans, but thought a dress could be too dressy. So I dressed down a favourite purple Nicole Bridger dress. I have worn this dress before for hanging out with a girlfriend on a weekend. [...]
So I went on a bit of an epic road trip over the Holidays. We drove from Vancouver, BC to Calgary, AB for Christmas. Then we drove to Kimberly, BC for some lovely skiing over New Years. Then we drove home. So I had lots of time on the road. While driving, or on any [...]
Over the holidays we attended a 90th Birthday Party for my husband's grandfather. The party was on our long road trip to Calgary, AB for Christmas and Kimberly, BC for New Years (and some skiing). So I needed to pack rather efficiently for a lot of different types of events. And the Birthday Luncheon was being held at [...]
A few days after we returned from San Francisco we were invited to a house party. An adult - no kids allowed- house party. The grandparents happened to be in town so we had free babysitters. It was a fun night out and a perfect opportunity to wear all my new goodies. And try to capture [...]
I bought this lovely asymetrical cream top from Press at a Jacueline Conoir sale last year. I love the detail of it, but I seem to have a hard time putting it into action. It can easily appear bulky, so it is difficult to wear under something else. Although I did manage it under a jean [...]
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). [...]
