Starts with rainwear: Adding Colour to a Rainy Day...

Happy Canada Day! The long weekend was lovely despite starting on Friday with a bit of rain.

To spruce up otherwise drab rainwear, I paired my trusty trench and wellies with bright accessories and patterns. It was almost enough to have me singing in the rain.

Hope you had a great weekend too! And hopefully you got to spend some time in the sun and enjoy the fireworks!

Starts with Inspiration: Gifts for Her

Last minute shopping for a special girl in your life? Whether it's the love of your life, your BFF, or fashionable little sis, here are three gifts that any girl is sure to love. And if the Mister is reading this - wink wink nudge nudge.

The Hudson's Bay Company Collection woven cashmere scarf is soft, cozy, practical, and a great way to add a bit of colour to a winter wardrobe. This iconic symbol of Canadian heritage is perfect for the girl who's always cold (me!) and believes in function and fashion. Available at The Bay.

Something sparkly has never failed to elicit a smile. This statement bracelet from J.Crew has been on my wish list for a few months, and is perfect for the girl that loves arm candy and layering her jewelry.

The ultimate luxury gift, the Gucci 1973 top handle bag is a classic shape and in this season's hot oxblood hue. For the girl who has everything, this is surely a piece that will be admired and treasured for years to come. Available at Holt Renfrew.

Starts with leather and stripes...

Year after year, nothing seems more right for brisk Fall day than a great leather jacket. Paired with eye-catching stripes in a cozy knit and leopard smoking slippers (another attempt at mixing patterns!), this classic from last season has been reinvented.
