Why am I Not Surprised

Of course she gets Agent Provocateur under the tree... What's the betting she also got drank some fabulous Egg Nog martini while trying it all on :-)

Love This

I found this pic on Face Hunter, posted in February. It simply delights me that people walk around London in the middle of the winter like this! Talk about suffering for your art...

I like the idea of mixing the shorts with the tights and a prim top. And don't you love this woman's hair?

Today, while out doing some serious damage on the shoe shopping front (multiple posts on this to follow) I decided to stop in momentarily at Gap Kids to see if I could find some slip ons for M. No luck there, but I did have the good fortune to bump into Hilary's mother, Heather, who was shopping for her darling grandchildren. Yes, it is a city of millions of people and we do live at opposite ends of the centre of town, but don't the shoppers just find each other like it's meant to be...

To give you a bit of backstory, I've know Hilary (and therefore Heather) since the summer after Grade 6. In all of those years, Heather has been a pillar of stylishness the likes of which one rarely encounters. I mean, she has been dressing with effortless, designer chic for decades. Ageless style is this woman's calling card. She really knows what she likes, how to put it together and what suits her frame perfectly. So I felt like such a success when she told me she reads my blog! (Did I mention that she was also an English teacher?)

What ensued was a fun trip to the glasses shop to check out a few options she's considering. Happily, the most gorgeous ones (though they all looked good, as she'd narrowed them down to a shortlist already) were also the most affordable. Who can go wrong with that?

Please stay tuned for some fun tales about springtime shoes!

Could These Be The Shoes I Need?

I don't know. They're a bit shiny, but I love the heel and the t-strap and they might just be a good juxtaposition with my Sasson McCardell-inspired shirt-dress. Hell, I love the whole freakin' outfit. If only we knew from whence any of this stuff came.

I Could Learn a Thing or Two...

Thanks, Addicted, for showing us how that high-waisted thing is done.
