Prices are $60-120 from sandals to boots.

Who's in?!

Gingham

The sun is finally peeking out a bit today, so I have my thoughts set on summer and picnics.  And gingham is perfect for summer picnics in the park.  Sure, you might blend in with the table cloth, but that's not a bad look, right? :)

This is my favourite colour, blue and white and how I'd wear it.

Gingham PANTS!  From Sessun, super cute on this girl, here.



How do you wear gingham?

Cat Eye

Cat eye sunglasses are hot for Spring, but I'm really loving cat eye makeup for during the day and into the night.  So retro and with a bit of nude lip for day and red lip for night...perfecto!

Is this something you would do, ladies?

House of Harlow

I really like Nicole Richie's line House of Harlow, especially some of the cute shoes, but most of it is out of my price range.  My sister was just telling me about this necklace she got a great deal on.  How pretty is this?

Red Pants

I so want a pair of red pants for the summer.  Goes so well with camel, don't you think? Is this something you'd wear ladies?

Umbrella-ella-eh-eh

It's raining here in Toronto, which means SPRING is finally here?!?  Which means that we have to bring out our rain boots and umbrellas!

I adore my Kate Spade rain boots which I got on sale, what are your go-to rain boots or footwear of choice for the rainy season?

As far as umbrellas go, Shed Rain has the lightest ones I've ever come across.  I also love Totes for their affordability and sizes.  London Undercover has the most unique umbrellas ever, like this fish and chips one and this English Breakfast one.  How cute are they?

Then there's the Polite Umbrella which you can pull into yourself if the sidewalk is too busy or if it's a windy day.  Brilliant, don't you think?  It's one on a list of 20 COOLEST umbrellas you'll ever see!

Mediterranean Vacation

I just discovered the Design Elements blog which is chock-full of  exotic locations and spectacular designs and has me yearning to go away on vacation...to the Mediterranean sea!!

To be laying about in the sun...on that veranda. Sigh.

Are any of you headed off on vacation this summer?

Poladroid

I love this idea!

It's the Poladroid Project.

You can take any photo and turn it into a polaroid, digitally! What's even cuter is that the desktop icon looks like a Polaroid camera and the image takes a while to develop!

So amazing.

Elizabeth Taylor

1932-2011

People magazine has a lovely commemoration.

Twiggy

Wasn't the Twigster (do you think anyone called her that?) such a fashion inspiration? I would never dare cut my hair that short, but she has always looked so cool, and check out that long (and thick!) braid!

With the 70s revival, do you see yourself wearing those floppy hats?  Super cute!

Shoe Closet

Spring = Spring Cleaning, right?

I cleaned up my closet and realized I have about 100 pairs of shoes, which I like to think is average for women?  How many pairs of shoes do you own?

I use a couple of the antique white Akada shoe organizers from Home Depot in my closet along with Ikea shoe compartments and racks for the rest of the pairs in the front hall closet.

How do you keep your shoes organized?

Style'n had a great TIP for keeping your boots all lined up! Check it out here.

Here's my closet followed by some pretty stunning shoe closets, don't you think?  *SIGH*

(I love the two black and white images! So classic!)

Classic Red

What is it about a classic red lip that looks so glamorous?

Don't these lovely ladies make you feel like breaking out the RED?

I finally found my perfect shade.   It's Lorac's Matte Lipstick in "Receive".   I keep it in my purse just in case I'm going out and need to dress up a bit.

Do you have a perfect red?

Crochet

I regret getting rid of one of my crochet sweaters last year!

Oh fashion and it's cycles!  How cute is this crochet necklace?  Like a bib but so much more delicate and pretty!
