Marginal Dressing
Half hearted about the suit jacket’s return? You can sit on the fence with this on. And what makes it even more perfect? It’s half-off right now. Really. Images: Maison Martin Margiela.

Love is Found
Indeed, it is. I was feeling a little low and got a lift this morning from Sade’s new vid. Had the pleasure of seeing her live last week and the video is taken from one of the performances on this tour. [Watch it full-screen, once you've read the post.] Ms. Adu has always been classic [...]
Strappy Summer
Summer’s here. Are you strapped in and ready to revel in it? That high waist wasn’t wasted on me – and the multiple straps going in all directions leave me with a clear direction on dressing. This look will influence me well into Fall. You could say I’ve fallen and can’t get up. Well, sometimes [...]

Valli Girls
Like, oh my gawd. Who says, like, couture is like, dead? It’s toooootally nawt!

Words are from Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Sonnet XLIII – I just borrowed a phrase or [...]
Dressing Room
Mary Katrantzou was clearly inspired by the surroundings of a dressed-to-the-nines room, for her Spring Summer 2011 collection. The collection featured drapery, upholstery fringe and even a lampshade skirt! I had the pleasure of seeing her pieces up close at an event last Fall, showcasing Ms. K and her contemporaries – the new breed of [...]
Déjà Vu: Clunky Shoe X 2
Maison Martin Margiela constantly pushes the limits of wearable footwear. This season, the House that Martin built came up with an innovative pair of pumps. This pair has a criss-cross ankle strap, but in other versions of the shoe, the only thing holding your foot inside is a thin, nude-coloured strap of leather. It’s the [...]
Happy Canada Day, Eh!
I saw a few glimpses of red and white amongst the SS11 collections – perfect for patriotic dressing today. Just remember to coordinate outfits for each part of your day… I may refer to the Motherland in this space on many occasions, but Canada is my homeland. Happy Canada Day, eh! Images: Vogue.com.
