Where Are The Umbrellas?

This past March, I lost my umbrella – it probably fell out of my “Fashion Week Kit” somehow, and I was never able to get it back (I didn’t realize it was gone until a week later, anyway).  So as soon as I discovered that it was gone, I started looking for a new one.  […]

Ann Taylor Opening Two Stores in Toronto

Big Names, ‘Unknowns’ and Label Snobs

I have to admit that my closet is a mix of both bigger name brands and independents/up-and-coming lines.  I’d prefer if I’d had more of the latter, but access is often an issue.  Even the up-and-coming lines that make it to FAT or Toronto Fashion Week are already at least somewhat known, especially to those […]

Team Blue Makes Another Appearance: Wearing Greta to a Wedding

I spent the long weekend in my husband’s hometown of Ottawa, Ontario to attend a wedding of one of his school friends.  Ottawa (capital of Canada, for those who aren’t familiar with Canadian politics and history) is a gorgeous city with a beautiful waterfront, exactly where the wedding ceremony was held.  The ceremony was then […]
