Soy Reverse Wrap Dress

This 100% soy wrap tunic by Carol Young is a very versatile piece. You can alter the length and wear it forward or backward, making it several different pieces in one!

It’s a bit short for my tastes, so I’d pair it with some skinny jeans — frontwards for works and backwards for post-work drinks with […]

‘Green is the New Black’ — New Book

Of course, I picked a copy up!

Umbrella Chic Canadian Style

Project Runway Canada aired their second episode last night on Slice. I must say, I’ve been very impressed so far. Iman is a fantastic host (she’s bitchy in a way that Heidi never is), the production value is very high for original Canadian Cable programming, Brian Bailey is hands-on in a way that Tim Gunn […]

Sustainable Cashmere Sweaters from Stewart + Brown

I love, love, love cashmere. It’s soft and makes me feel sophisticated and elegant, even when it’s a second hand cardigan I found in a discount bin because it had a stain on the collar. (I really own that sweater. It’s yellow).
