The Ol' Standby Friday, March 14, 2008 11:45 PM

White rabbit tee worn underneath: Argyle Centre (Hong Kong). Plaid dress: H&M. Necklaces: Moss Mills and Forever 21. Black wool footless tights: Club Monaco. Black moccasin booties: Aldo. Sunglasses: H&M.

This plaid dress is my standby dress. I love it to pieces. It's the dress I turn to when nothing else seems to work, whether it be for a specific occasion or on those days when nothing sits right on my body. What's your standby piece and/or outfit?

Fresh From Joe

Thursday, March 13, 2008 8:19 PM

Joe Fresh Style has had a sneak peek of their spring collection up on their website for the last month or two. They've finally, finally added their spring 2008 collection on their website (which I found out no more then two seconds ago thanks to their handy dandy e-mail alert).

For the international readers unfamiliar with Joe Fresh, the two year old brand is by Joseph Mimran, founder of Club Monaco. It is sold exclusively at the Superstore, a chain of grocery stores in Canada. I know, strange, eh? Buying apples, a side of beef, and a dress at the same place. I guess they're trying to encourage the soccer mom to look a bit more stylish.

Despite their target market, I always find a few pieces I like in each collection. Here are a few items enticing me to make that thirty minute drive to my closet Superstore.

New Shoes!

Tuesday, March 11, 2008 6:09 PM

The order I placed with Aldo arrived today! That was quick; ordered on Sunday and two days later it's on my doorstep. I purchased the high heel oxfords I swooned over a few posts ago. I was going to wait until my income tax return arrived before buying them, but I found a 15% off code so I couldn't resist.

As much as I loved the bone coloured ones (they were so beautiful in person), my imagination couldn't incorporate them with my current wardrobe. Besides, I've been looking for a pair of black ones.

I also picked up a pair of suede moccasin booties. They were on sale for $12.49 so why not? I used to not like this style, but it has grown on me. At that price, it was worth getting a pair to experiment with.
