Sweater Weather (Plus Help Me Choose Sunglasses)

This week’s IFB Project is to put together one’s best “sweater weather style.”  Well, this isn’t best-best in terms of prettiness, but it’s one of my favourite weekend outfits and a look that I’ve gone with for at least two or three ears – just about as long as I’ve had this cardigan – or […]

Fashion’s Night Out Toronto Loot!!

Isn’t this bag gorgeous?  Looks vintage, doesn’t it?  The bag is by Sneha Varma and was purchased at the Toronto Fashion Incubator/Stylicity event held at Hazelton Lanes at Fashion’s Night Out, and it was my only actual purchase.  The bag also comes in black and blue and has both a shorter shoulder strap as well […]

A Birthday Dinner or Greta Constantine Worn Two Ways

This past Saturday, my husband took me to dinner at Scarpetta at Toronto’s Thompson Hotel (you can read my review of the restaurant over at DelectablyChic!).  I wore my blue Greta Constantine dress once again (the dress has had a lot of wear over the past few months, ranging from weddings to a recent Greta […]

A Typical Sunday: Brunch at a Local Breakfast Joint

J.Crew’s ‘Hen Sweater’: Cute or Just Plain Silly?

It kind of caught my attention because it’s different from what J.Crew typically sells.  Featuring a hen in a beret, the cute-looking sweater comes in two colours – navy (with a cream-coloured hen wearing a baby pink beret) and camel (or acorn blue, with a blue hen wearing a hot pink beret), sizes XXS to […]
