It’s getting chilly out. Time to break out the bigger duvet, the hot chocolate, the flannel! As much as I wanted to hibernate this weekend, we went for a long walk along the Charles River, it was the perfect weather to break out the flannel – except this shirt is not flannel at all, but cotton … Continue reading

Y’all know how much I love a good leopard. Print, that is. And animal print is nothing new to the seasons, it is a classic print that goes with anything, but when I saw these Franco Sarto wedges with the unusual placement of fur, I was sold. (photos by photohogger) So, how do you animal … Continue reading

My hubby wears suits and blazers to work every day and I can’t help but think how dapper he looks each morning. I decided to start chronicling his combos of shirts/blazers/ties.

This summer we saw red pants all over the place. So, how about some red boots for fall? I’ve hung onto my red Steve Madden boots over a few seasons, now. I purchased them a few seasons ago, and love wearing them when it’s just starting to get chilly. I saw many a boot in … Continue reading
I just donated a polka dotted hoodie from H&M amongst other articles of clothing which didn’t fit in the closets here (having moved from a house in the burbs of Ontario to an apartment in Cambridge). I also didn’t know about the SIP and SWAP until too late, which would have been ideal for the … Continue reading

Missoni for Target had everyone in a frenzy. The website was down for some time, then Missoni items were all over Ebay. My sister went to Target and scored some really cute items for herself and for me! She got me this shirt and these pumps. The pumps are a bit loose on me so they … Continue reading
I bought these leopard printed Me Too flats on sale; they’re one of my favourite pairs to wear. Lately though, and especially after looking at this photo, I feel that they’re starting to stretch oddly. Hence the toe cleavage. Enquiring minds need to know. Yay or nay to toe cleavage? How much is too much? … Continue reading
Amsterdam was fairly chilly, something I wasn’t really expecting. I knew it was raining over there, but it was quite cold, as well, which resulted in me having to purchase a hooded trench from H&M before I froze my a$$ off. If only I’d seen something like what these two were sporting. These ladies sure … Continue reading
Hi guys! I’m back from Amsterdam. We also went to Greece for a week, but more on that later. Firstly, I absolutely loved Amsterdam. Holy bicycles, Batman!

To celebrate Gabrielle Coco Chanel’s August 19th birthday, CHANEL is launching the new No.19 Poudré fragrance.

Are you a Chanel fragrance fan? Which do … Continue reading
How do you feel about suspenders y’all? I have never worn suspenders and apart from always seeing them on Kevin Frankish of Breakfast Television (Toronto Morning Show), I can’t imagine pulling off the look. Madewell, however, makes it look wonderful. I feel it would be hard to incorporate suspenders around a larger chest. What do you think? … Continue reading
I don’t often post on men’s fashion (I have once or twice, most recently with Banana Republic’s Mad Men collection) but this caught my eye, especially since my hubby wears suits everyday. Brioni’s latest collection, the Colosseo, is fashioned after men’s suits in the 60s. YES, the 60s are back! Everything is narrow and tailored to … Continue reading
Thought we saw enough of the red pants over the summer? Think again. Albeit a darker hue for fall, the red pant is all over the plazace, as in Diane von Furstenberg’s Fall 2011 Collection. I’m feeling so inspired to wear longer sleeves again and with the rain we’ve been getting, I’m in a FALL (not foul) mood. … Continue reading

What a household name Hermoine is, no? I’ve just started re-reading the Harry Potter books because I realized I stopped at the 5th and then when it came down to reading the 6th, I couldn’t remember the 4th! So back to the beginning I go! (Please no spoilers) Then I realized how BIG these wee stars … Continue reading
Is it too soon to talk about Fall? Maybe. But today in Boston, it is pouring out there and it has me seeing umbrellas and thinking about fall coats. I recently purchased an orange coat from Joe Fresh in Toronto, and I love the vibrant hue. Now I’m seeing that orange is a hot colour … Continue reading
Sorry for being MIA, but I just moved from Toronto to Boston and things have been hectic to say the least. As a going away present, my lovely girlfriends got together and secretly planned to buy me a Thomas Sabo Charm bracelet along with individual Thomas Sabo charms and some from Swarovski! Stunning.

With my hair growing longer and longer everyday, I usually end up tying it into a top knot that’s messy, but lately I’ve been trying to pull it back into a neater and higher pony-tail with some height in front, like these ladies, here. Are you a top knot or pony tail girl? (Images via Pinterest)

I so want a pair of red pants for the summer. Goes so well with camel, don’t you think? Is this something you’d wear ladies? (Image via The Sartorialist)
Spring = Spring Cleaning, right? I cleaned up my closet and realized I have about 100 pairs of shoes, which I like to think is average for women? How many pairs of shoes do you own? I use a couple of the antique white Akada shoe organizers from Home Depot in my closet along with … Continue reading
