I Can't Let Go of Summer...Not Yet!



I can't do it. I just can't. That is...letting go of summer. The Labor Day weekend is here in Canada which means the official end of summer vacation, kids back to school and fall fashions in the air.

We had such a rainy, cool summer that I refuse to let summer leave without taking in every moment of sunshine available. This weekend happens to be perfect weather.

As soon as the weather turns cold, I will be thinking of my next holiday. Spain was wonderful this year, and my niece wants me to take her to Hawaii next year. How can I refuse such a reasonable request! :-)

So to celebrate our trip to Hawaii, here is a gorgeous cotton maxi dress by Ui-Maikai. White cotton with stunning pink hibiscus flowers and an attached train at the back. When I found this dress, I just loved how perfect the flowers were and could easily see myself wearing it in Hawaii. Then.....

a month later found a matching gent's shirt! Lightening really can strike twice in the same place!

  • Steps of a Vintage Shop-aholic

    The first step to recovery is knowing there is a problem right?

    Any vintage shopper knows the classic steps. Here they are.

    1. The inspiration. You need that specific look or piece to finish an outfit.
    2. The adventure of the hunt. Choosing the store, estate sale or auction to attend.

  • Easy Shmeezy!


  • Feathers!

    I have a confession. I love feathers, fur coats and leather goods. (If my dog could talk, he would certainly have a thing or two to say about this.)

    But the beauty of vintage is these items come guilt free - almost. Appreciating these types of items a second time around is much more humane than buying a brand new fur!

  • Make it A Sequined Season

    Sequins are back! Not that they ever really left, but there was that time in the 80s....brightly colored sequins were everywhere, even on workout wear.

    Black or colored sequins are the way to go this holiday season. You can find sequins on dresses in Topshop and by Alexander McQueen.

  • Designer Inspirations

    It's a well known fact that today's designers take alot of their inspiration from vintage designs. Not just the cut of an outfit but the patterns of the fabric.

    Much to my delight, when I opened my November copy of "FASHION" magazine, there was a Michael Kors dress that looked very familiar. The color hues are slightly different but I think I found his inspiration!
