Spring Drops at Joe Fresh

January is a funny time to shop for clothes. The winter styles have started to go on sale, and the spring colours and fabrics are suddenly dotted between the sweaters. I like the spring release as a sneak peek for what’s to come later in March/April when the real drop of Spring/Summer happens.

Top 5 - Tote Bags

I know of nary a woman that doesn’t love a tote bag. A tote bag differs in it’s functionality from a purse. It’s much larger and generally unfastened at the top. Some women carry a tote as their purse - or with a smaller, purse (clutch) tucked into the tote use when running into a store or stepping out for lunch.

Trending: Fall Fashion

I know it’s been so crazy humid outside in Southern Ontario for the past couple of weeks, but lets pretend for just a moment that we’re in Alberta where there is snow. Are you there? I know it sucks, but think of the fashion for just a wee movement.

Lil' White Sneakers (With your Dress)

Have you ever fought a trend really hard and then one day thought "f&*k it" I'm going there. Well...I'm going there. I'm going 100% in with the dress and sneakers look. It's everywhere on Insta and around every fashionable corner in the city.

Top 5 - Joe Fresh for Summer

I did a quick swing through Joe Fresh the other day and noticed a good selection of several basics that I've written about recently. I always pick up a few Joe pieces each season and this was no exception.

Dear Glimmer

Recently I've been asked a few questions (via email) from readers that I thought I would answer in a single post for you. If you have a beauty, fashion or lifestyle question for me please send it to vicki@glimmerlife.ca. 

You Can Leave Your Hat On

You have to protect the face! I love that quote. I'm all about protecting the face from lines and spots and let's face it - melanoma. While the first line of defence for me is daily SPF (that I reapply during the day), the second during the summer months and when I'm on vacation in a sunny destination - is definitely a hat.

Know the Drille

I think the espadrille is the quintessential summer shoe. Designed in Spain and perfected (in my opinion) in France...kidding, isn't everything perfected in France?  But what is true, is the fact that  the espadrille has been around since the 14th century.

The Long and Short of Shorts

Shorts are short...like super short these days. Like 'half ass hanging out the back' short. But I, as a 48 year old woman am NOT interested in half of my ass hanging out the back of my shorts. I'm a little modest and like my ass fully covered - thank you very much.

Best In Brit

So...have you had enough of the Royal Wedding? Did you wake up at 5 a.m. on Saturday to watch Oprah arrive? I did.  Which dress did you prefer? The ceremony dress or the evening dress?  I think I'll save my opinion for a Best Dressed post later this week.
