Bike Stylish – Dressing For Your Destination
Well Vancouverites, like it or not, those bike lanes aren’t going anywhere. Me, I’m pretty stoked about it. While I would not consider myself a hardcore cyclist, I enjoy taking my bike out for a joy ride, commuting to my Fit 4 Two® stroller fitness classes, running errands and even date night around the city with…

Go Nude! One Good Reason Why You Should
Wear Nude Under White Whether you plan on attending Dîner en Blanc next month or simply enjoy wearing white jeans and/or tops, choose nude undergarments instead of white. White clothing can be somewhat transparent, especially in bright light.

Skirts – How to Wear Them Away From Work
How often do wear the skirts you have in your closet? I’ve had a professional office job in the health care industry for the past 13 years. Over these years, I have cultivated a professional wardrobe that includes many skirts. I really love my work clothes, and for a long time they remained just…

Reinvent Yourself – Why You Should & How You Can
In true Gen X style, I have changed careers about five times since university (this does not include the coat check girl, catering, go-go dancing or telemarketing jobs I worked to pay for tuition or my backpacking trip to South East Asia). In retrospect, each career was a natural evolution to the other and how I got to…

Voluminous Clothes: How not to get lost in them
photo credit Sometimes I like a little drama in my life. Not the left-over-from-high-school kind of drama. More of the sweeping-ball-gown, sky-high-heels kind of drama. While this is definitely not everyday wear, I do get some of the same joy and pleasure from wearing the more dramatic voluminous pieces in my wardrobe. The problem is…

Eating Disorder Recovery – A Work in Progress
There’s a big event coming up this week in the Vancouver Mom blogging community that I am nervous and excited about attending. It’s not formal, but most of the women there will be dressed up and looking their best.  It’s a special occasion. It’s a night of celebration and mingling and sadly, it’s also been a…

White Jeans Speak the Language of Summer
I love the fresh, crisp look of white jeans for the summer. Like all of the other colours of jeans you already own, white denim is super versatile. On top of that, they speak the language of summer: laid-back, simple, fresh, pretty, and bright. They make me think of iced cocktails enjoyed on a patio,…
