Apr 26 How to wear a Kimono

The Kimono. I'm having a serious love/hate relationship with this wardrobe piece. Every time I try one I feel like I'm walking through a field at Coachella. But it turns out that music festivals aren't the only place you can wear kimonos.

Fashion, Lifestyle

For most of us jewellery lovers, the words micro and jewellery should never appear in the same sentence. After all, isn't bigger always better when it comes to diamonds? As it turns out - not always.

Fashion, Steep vs. Cheap

Plaid shirts and pilates are like a drug for me. Both give me a rush. I love a lightweight plaid shirt in the spring and summer worn with white jeans (duh) or shorts.

By definition a blouse is a lightweight, loose fitting garment worn by women. Are you a blouse girl or are you more into the structure of shirt. I like both, but find myself wearing shirts (and sweaters, mostly tee's) more often.

Vicki

Fashion, Beauty

I love the newness of Spring. New flowers, new grass, new fashion, not necessarily in that order. Picking up a few current things to refresh my wardrobe always puts me in a good mood. I'm definitely a junkie from the serotonin rush I get from shopping.

I spent a leisurely afternoon at the ROM strolling the small, but beautiful Christian Dior Exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum yesterday. The exhibit is a celebration of the 7Oth Anniversary of the House of Dior and contains many pieces worn by Toronto socialites all of which were designed between 1947 and 1957.

As holiday season quickly approaches, so does party season and the search for the perfect party outfit. An LBD (Little Black Dress - for the one person who didn't know what the acronym stood for) is simplest and chicest solution for every soiree.

If by some horrific chance my husband said to me "Vicki, you have too many coats in your closet, pick one to keep and donate the rest." First, let's be realistic - I would die, and then I would choose the long camel coat. Read on...

Fashion

Every now and again, usually I post a particularly well put together out fit on Dear Glimmer, or post a photo of an outfit I'm wearing on Instagram - I get an email or text from a friend. "I love your outfit choices...please take me shopping - I'll pay you."

It's tremendously satisfying to sit down and write about a friend who's doing something successful that helps women. In this case, Heather Bolt of Dotty is designing and making beautiful clothes.

Sep 25 Stretching your Summer Wardrobe

Vicki

Fashion

Not everyone is going to love or even like the popular street style of wearing a dress over your jeans or pants. I've done it in the past (and loved it) and I'm thinking I'm going to work it into my wardrobe just a wee bit more this season.
