Even though I live in a country that is known for its winter sports, I am not one to really indulge in them. In fact, I am a danger to every man, woman, child, and inanimate object within my vicinity when on a pair of skis. As for skates, I use to date a professional hockey player and even he gave up on me doing anything more than inching along the boards. Snowboarding, well…the instructor tasked with teaching me for an afternoon spent…
Winter SWIMS
Winter is technically three months but in Canada we’re usually faced with a good five months of cold, snowy, slushy weather. Because of this, my footwear choices become pretty limited and I’m always on the hunt for functional and fashionable footwear. Since being introduced to the Norwegian brand SWIMS, it has quickly become a favorite of mine for just these reasons. The brand embodies the clean and carefully designed…
Real Style with Dilara Dzafic
Darlings, meet Dilara. Dilara, meet my darling readers. With Dilara as this week’s subject of Real Style, you could easily rename the feature to “Women I admire and am Fortunate to Count as a Friend.” But really, how could I not adore a woman who’s as poodle obsessed as I. I first met Dilara in her role as the creative powerhouse behind Le Caniche Noir and it goes without saying that I’m more that a little partial to this wonderful boutique. However, this international champagne bubble…
At Home with Sanuk
It’s been so fun acting as style ambassador for Sanuk but with the snow and slush that’s blanketed Montreal my footwear is leaning more towards the snow-boot variety. However, around the house my comfy little Sanuk slip-ons are the shoes that I find myself slipping on when not in slippers. Although, they’re just as comfortable as the obnoxious Hello Kitty monstrosities that elicit many an eye-roll from…
Lovely Lace with Bailey 44
An exposed midriff is a trend that doesn’t seem to be waining. In fact, the crop top is still being seen on runways, red-carpets, and in all of the major fashion publications. That being said, I find there is a right way and a wrong way to approach baring a little bit of skin. This great Bailey 44 dress that I scooped up from show&tell does a wonderful job of embracing this trend without overdoing it. The littlest hint of skin offered…
Toggery Jumpsuit
While I love a good jumpsuit, Darling Husband thinks I look like a Ghostbuster. However, when I pulled out this piece by Toggery he surprisingly didn’t make fun of me or it. He actually informed me that he quite liked it and was looking forward to seeing me in it. This of course elicited a head tilt from me similar to what the poodle does when I call her one of her many nicknames and she’s not totally sure that I’m actually talking to her…
