A New Way to Clean Out Your Closet

January 11, 2010

After the excess of the holidays I tend to adopt a more minimalist outlook.  This year the manifestation of this mindset took the form of: de-cluttering every single surface in our apartment (cleansing on so many levels!), tracking purchases and avoiding any unnecessary ones and tackling the monster that is my closet.  The traditional rule [...]

Five Easy Holiday Dressing Tips

December 6, 2009

I wrote a post this time last year about easy dressing for the holidays.  As I read it again I realized it was proof that true style is eternal.  There is no need to reinvent the wheel every year, just to give it some oil and maybe a shine (ok, bad analogy!).  Read on for [...]

Shop Your Own Closet with Wendy

December 3, 2009

I have written about Shopping Your Own Closet before, but I was prompted to write about it again after learning of my friend Wendy's service through her company, The Refinery.  For only $120 Wendy will help you make 30 outfits out of what you already own. That is just $4 an outfit! When you think [...]

How to Dress with Bollywood Flair

November 18, 2009

As a follow up to the popular "Six Ways to Dress like a Parisian", I wanted to write about how to use my own culture for inspiration in dressing.  Indian style is lush (beautiful jewel tones) and rich (lots of gold) sometimes to the point of being gawdy, but it is all relative.  If you [...]

The Lazy Fashionista

November 4, 2009

When you are a self-proclaimed style expert, you are supposed to walk the walk and talk the talk and practice what you preach.  It would not do, for example, for me to wear rubber flip flops on the street after my post about Style Do's and Don'ts.  But I have a confession to make: I [...]

Wear This: My New Column

October 28, 2009

Exciting news!  I recently started writing a weekly column in t.o.night, Toronto's new free daily afternoon paper.  It is a style column called Wear This and every week I will be writing about style trends in both fashion and beauty.  It has always been a secret dream of mine to write a column (sorry to [...]

Now is the Perfect Time to…

October 22, 2009

...go for a walk with your sister (or Mom or close friend).  Take advantage of a crisp sunny day, bundle up in a sweater or a fall coat, and throw on your shades and a big cozy scarf.  Catch up on life, make plans for the holidays, inspire each other to get moving on plans [...]

Inspired By: Margherita Missoni

September 24, 2009

I have always thought Margherita Missoni is perfectly lovely.  I can't tell you too much about her other than that she is the daughter of Angela Missoni, the Creative Director for the legendary knit company Missoni, and that she is a socialite and student living in NY.  But I do love her personal style.  Despite [...]
