Baby It’s Cold Outside! - Soïa & Kyo, Sorel and Canada Goose



One thing about being Canadian, especially in Toronto, is that we make cold look HOT!

Last year’s Mackage still looks good but if I had my way, next up on my holiday wish list would be the ‘Betty’ wool coat from Soia & Kyo and a pair of Sorel’s 1964 Pac Premium Ltd. boots.

And just to show that I can be practical in my fashion desires, I am absolutely swooning for a Canada Goose jacket this year! (Because those REALLY friggin cold and windy days are NOT an excuse to cheat style!)

WANTED: NEW WARDROBE



It’s happened to me again – I’ve been robbed!

Not really......but it sure feels that way. It’s a horrible, sinking feeling...you know the one....The one where you open your closet(s) in the morning and see that YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO WEAR!

Although my closet is busting at the seams with ‘stuff’, that’s all it really is now...just ‘stuff’...'stuff’ that has seen its day and that day was SO yesterday. (Expect a call soon Clothesline!)

Now this USED to be a quick fix for me...a spoonful of West Queen St. West here, a touch of Vaughn Mills there and a dab of cross-border shopping at OFF 5th to smooth out the edges, and I was good to go in about a week or so.

But a house, shopping sprees and quite a few all-out vacations later, and let’s just say I didn’t become If I Was A Rich Girl out of thin air!

So I’m compiling a list, and checking it twice and sharing it this holiday season for all to see in the hopes that ‘Secreting-It’ will bring a few (or more – wheee!) to my doorstep....

First on my list, a little something I like to call ‘Office Holiday Party’ dress! You’ve been on my mind for awhile...
