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.

Hotel Hangouts

Can you even believe the long weekend is upon us already? Where has May gone? May is my favourite month of the year. Not only is it the start of Spring, but then there's  Mother's Day, my birthday and of course my namesake holiday weekend.

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.
