Outside the comfort zone
♦ Lace Vest: Clothing Swap ♦ Leopard Top & Fishnets: Torrid ♦ Shorts: City Chic ♦ ♦ Boots: Fluevog ♦ Necklace: Forever21 ♦ This year I decided that I would give shorts another shot at winning my heart. We had broken up some time in the early 90′s during the era of grunge when all I needed were some ripped jeans to feel sassy. And honestly, the shorts available in Canada for an inbetweenie teenage girl were pretty unattractive. Over the last few months I have seen...
Read MoreMovie Review: You’re Next
On Monday Gary and I caught the second screening of You’re Next, another TIFF Midnight Madness selection. I did not take the time to read anything about the film beforehand (I am a bit lazy that way) so all I knew going in was that it was a home invasion film.

It can be classic,...

If you love Horror films and you have the chance to experience a Midnight Madness do so, it is an experience not to be missed. Last night I kicked off TIFF with Livid by French directors Julien Maury and Alexandre...
Read MoreMemories of Edinburgh
♦ Dress: Collectif ♦ Cropped Cardigan: Torrid ♦ Shoes: Fluevog ♦ Every time I wear this dress I remember the moment I discovered it in a tiny shop in Edinburgh. It was my first encounter with Collectif, a UK based retailer that offered plus sizes with their normal line. Sure, there are a few problems with the fit on me…and honestly I am not sure I like it paired with these particular shoes, but I adore this dress! It represents a defining moment for me style wise. I realized...
