FRONT STREET FASHION


Meet Cheryl.
 This amazing full-time stay at home mother of two is always energetic and smiling.  She manages to get her kids fed, ready, and looking adorable for the daily stroller walk up to school. She greets all the other parents and kids with a smile and charming conversation, all the while carrying off her "city comfort chic" sense of style. 
A true believer in shopping "guilt free", Cheryl has found many amazing vintage cocktail dresses online and perusing local markets.
I ADORE women like Cheryl.
 When she showed up to one of the kids birthday costume parties in a gorgeous pink chiffon number, I immediately smiled and wished I had done the same!  It was a reminder that even when I'm tired, busy, and have a "to do" list as long as the Great Wall of China...
I can always throw on a gown and feel beautiful.
DO IT. LOVE IT.

IF KIM WAS A...

WILD SPRING FLORAL BOUQUET

Aaaaaaahhhhhh, Spring. 
A time for new beginnings, and fresh flowers. Or for some of us, like Kim, a time for new photo ops and shopping at Hermes. While I may not be toting the signature orange bag around  anytime soon, you can certainly bet I will be carrying a huge bunch of wild flowers. I never quite understood the whole pageant culture, but I love holding a beautiful bouquet from the market to my home, all the way smiling as if I'd just taken first prize. Whether you decide to slip into a floral romper, or head down to your local market, you'll definitely feel that special feeling. Trust me.

DO IT. LOVE IT.

ST. LAWRENCE MARKET VINTAGE FINDS

As I prepare to relocate to sunny Los Angeles, I find myself really appreciating all that Toronto has to offer. 
And by 'offer' I, of course, mean 'spend money on'.
St. Lawrence Market area is the best place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.  Brunch at Le Petit Dejeuner,  coffee at Lettieri, and of course the Vintage shopping  at the market.


















The last time I peeked my head in was on a Thursday afternoon (that way I can preview before the weekend crowds), and I spotted quite a few gems.

 Including a Todd Oldham faux fur jacket for %50 off. An insanely "80's" (in a good way)  fitted peplum leather jacket for $25, and Seven for all Mankind jeans (size 28) for $35! 

Now is the time to hit up the vintage shops for cashmere and jackets, everyone's thinking ahead to spring, and we'll all be ready to set the trends for next fall.

DO IT. LOVE IT.
