Its fantasy shoe time. Actually, I was hoping these would be included in the ssense.com sale, but -- just my luck -- they are not. Oh, well: nothing wrong with a little unrequited love. I have to adm...

There are many, many striped shirts in this world, but there is only one Saint James. As you know, J.Crew recently opened in Vancouver and I was thrilled when I saw that they carry Saint James. Haili...
Puffy eyes: its a genetic thing for me. Most of the time I have pretty good control over them, but a couple of late nights, one drink too many, and theyre back with a vengeance. Lately Ive been ...
Sofia Coppola in Little Black Jacket (photographed by Karl Lagerfeld)I admit that I may have spent too much time on iwanttobeacoppola.com, because, obviously, I really, really want to be one. Or at l...
Im not the biggest fan of Balmain (I mean, its really cool and all, but it doesnt really live up to its name -- a story for another day, perhaps), but I love these shoes. Im a fringe fan, although 99...
Im always super-thrilled when I find out that something Ive liked for a long time is actually from my hometown of Vancouver. Such is the case with this Ora bag, which I spotted on a friend of mine ab...
Ruffian S/S 2012Ruffian always has the best nails. Ive already talked about the F/W ones, but lets rewind a little to the current season. I love anything where stripes are involved so, of course, I a...
Unless one attends Paris Fashion Week, its a rare opportunity to see the entire Comme des Garçons collection in person. I mean, most stores only carry the Play line or, at best, a couple of read...
Is it summer where you are? Its totally summer here, and Vancouverites are spending every leisurely moment on the beach. Unfortunately that means that they have also fully adopted a uniform of jean c...
I love this tropical landscape print. It reminds me of those silly Hawaiian shirts that even George Clooney had a hard time pulling off in The Descendants. But this adorable cotton blouse shouldnt ha...
Heres my mom looking very cute and stylish back in the 60s. She still has the same haircut and reads my blog every single day. (Love you!)
Gracia UK (June 2012)This weekend is supposed to be nice and sunny across the country, so its definitely time to talk SPF. Sun protection has come a long way since we slathered Coppertone all over ou...
I fell in love while I was in France and Im afraid its totally of the unrequited kind. Well, sort of. See, I discovered COS (Collection of Style) and that stupidly catchy Carly Jay Repsen song s...
When I first heard of the return of the wedge sneaker, the first thing that sprung to mind was the Spice Girls, both Sporty and Posh -- the latter especially. Remember when she first moved to th...
Marcs WorldBeing the fashion capital that it is, Paris is home to countless fashion exhibitions. Not surprisingly, I visited quite a few. One of them was Louis Vuitton Marc Jacobs at Musée ...
Im back from Paris, and I hope you are ready for a French invasion. There are a few labels that I sort of paid attention to before visiting France and, while there, became a big fan of. Iro is o...
Im jetting off to Paris for a week. (Ive always wanted to say that!) Ive been before, when I was just out of college, on a very tight budget, and in freezing January. Not that Ill be doing damage at ...
A few years ago, I thought of Camper shoes as clunky things that fell somewhere between little kid and granny style. But roughly three years ago while in Barcelona, I bought a pair of wedges that wer...
Yes, floral is a big deal right now, but I hope you are not tired of seeing clothing in bloom. This J.Crew print reminds me of the Jil Sander floral from last spring -- they featured roses, but its a...
Thakoon S/S 2012No, I havent gone totally crazy, telling you that you should dye your tresses pink. I totally would, if I was a tad bit younger (I dont think it would match my wrinkles, um, fine line...
I wanted to do a little update, explain the sporadic posts, and share some exciting news. When I started this blog three years this summer, I was studying to become an architect. I had some experienc...
It always thrills me when someone from my city designs something flawless, which is exactly the case with these sandals by Erin Templeton. If you live in Vancouver, you are probably familiar with her...
I like wearing see through things in the summer: open knit sweaters and sheer blouses. With those, one cant wear just any old bra. Ive featured undergarments by VPL before about two years ago bu...
Cliniques Almost Lipstick is, well, almost lipstick. I guess on the grand scale of things, it would tilt closer to the lip balm end. Its barely-there tint was kind of a letdown at first, bu...
Jeanne Beker interviews Cindy Crawford in 1997 (courtesy of The National Post)When Jeanne Beker tweeted yesterday that Fashion Television ceased production after 27 years, I was crushed. Today, many ...
Im still very much into the clog. Just as I was pulling all my clogs from the winter shoe vault, I thought, "I could use a couple of more." I remember almost buying a pair of No.6 clogs at To...
I hope that wherever you are, its nice and sunny. The long weekend was lovely here in Vancouver, and I even busted out my sunglasses. But being surrounded by Easter things, I really wished my sunnies...
I am getting dangerously close to exceeding my Margiela quota on this blog, but since the theme of If I Were Rich is excess, I might as well. I came across this Margiela on AP Shops blog and I found ...
Good summer flats are hard to find. I find myself picking up chunky clogs and platforms as my "walkable" options. Silly, I know. But if all sensible shoes were as adorable as these ones by St...
