Come in Closer

This outfit was completely built around the gorgeous scarf that I picked up last year. I am admittedly a scarf-a-holic but I normally buy cheap scarves while out thrifting, rarely spending more then $15 on any one scarf. This particular scarf, however, I had noticed it at Winners one day as I was walking out of the store and it literally stopped me in my tracks. I think it was during a time when I was trying to branch out of my red black and white rut and this silky soft gem with its blues...

Turning 35 is not so bad

This first outfit is what I decided to wear on my 35th birthday kicking around Amsterdam with the man I love. Which was the perfect way to celebrate a significant milestone for me. In the months leading up to my birthday I had begun to feel that the focus in our lives was starting to shift. And now there is no denying it, we are taking a turn in an unknown direction which is exciting but also a bit scary for me because I hate not knowing what may lie ahead. Normally I would be in a quiet...

Amsterdam for New Year’s Eve

Back in November Gary and I decided that we wanted to go away to celebrate New Year’s and my 35th birthday. We had both been working pretty hard on a side project and we needed a break.

After tossing some ideas back and forth, Gary reminded me that he loved Amsterdam when he traveled there...

My take on the “secretary” look

While I listen to the “tap tap” of water leaking from the roof in our spare bedroom I thought I would take my mind off of all the damage and post an outfit I wore a while ago. I have a couple of outfits sitting in my “to post” folder but I think this is one of my favourites. I am a sucker for the black, red and grey colour palette, and when I found this scarf at a local Value Village for $1.00 I had to have it. I picked up the sweater at Torrid a few months earlier but...

Remembering those Summer Nights

Hi! Remember me? It always amazes me how much time can pass between my updates when I really do think about this space almost every day. It is just that these last 4 months or so I have been working on an exciting side project with my very talented husband. Once the site I created goes live, I will be sure to share about it here. But until then, I finally have a few spare moments to myself and I decided to post a picture of an outfit I wore back when the days were hot and the nights were...
