My Fall Wardrobe Must-Haves

Everything I buy is vintage and smells funny. Maybe that’s why I don’t have a boyfriend. – Lucy Liu

My wardrobe is having a personality crisis and outfits are a struggle. Part of my problem is my personal style is a bit helter skelter. I like a little boho and femininity as much as I enjoy more structured looks. I’ll be doing a closet inventory and taking the results of my pared down items to the flea market before replenishing my autumn appropriate pieces.

I’ve been working on a bit of a look book to help with the process. Keeping with the aforementioned themes, I want to inject a bit of artistic whimsy in my casual wear and some pre-war/wartime vintage for my girlie outfits. I’ve taken just a tiny bit of influence from the well-dressed gentlemen in my life as well, because a masculine touch never hurts.

Mostly I’m desperate for closed toe footwear and my cardis are either summer weight or worn out. My job is such that I can essentially wear the same clothes I would wear day to day to work. Talk about flexibility!

Et voila. Some of the goods pictured I specifically desire and others are merely used as inspiration.

Find of the day: Hunter Kids’ Boots

Wear less than a size 7-8 women’s? Hunter sells kids’ size rainboots up to a size 6 (about a 7.5-8 women’s).

Nordstrom.

I wear a women’s size 5-5.5 and I find the women’s tall boots are too tall for my short calf. I can snag a pair of my coveted red galoshes for 76$ plus tax!

That smell isn’t me, honest!

“If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn’t sit for a month.” – Theodore Roosevelt

I seem to have a lot of oudour themed posts lately…

I adore my jeans more than any other clothing item. I’m pretty particular about the quality and pretty much only buy premium denim, none of which is sweatshop made. Since I’m rocking my summer beer-induced muffin top, most of my jeans are a bit snug. Heart breaking.

Recently I made an error in judgement by buying GAP 1969 Super Light Weight Long and Lean jeans to hold me over. They looked good on a friend of mine and the cost was 51$ with tax after the sale discount. A steal. They fit great and you could almost mistake the light weight dark denim for premium jeans. The problem? They stink.

I’ve washed them about three or four times now and they still emanate this bizarre odour. It’s difficult to describe, but it falls somewhere between wet towel and stinky feet. No one else seems to notice it. I consulted the almighty Google and apparently this is quite common. Jeans can be rife with chemicals including insecticide and formaldehyde before being delivered to the retailer. Ew.

I’ve contacted the GAP about this problem but have yet to hear back. They were so inexpensive it isn’t really worth my time to ship them back, wait for a new pair and have them altered all over again, so I’m going to experiment with some of the interwebs suggestions for de-putrefying my trousers. Think of it as Bill Nye for young professionals. Stay tuned!

For The Love of Shoes

The civilized man has built a coach, but has lost the use of his feet.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

As part of my urban lifestyle, I walk everywhere. My footwear is important to me. Comfort is as important as style.

Spring shoes have been on my mind pretty much non-stop for the past month. Espadrilles (for instance) have been a staple for me since 2007 and I love when they’re back on trend (ugh, I hate saying “on trend”). I adore a touch of boho and 1970s inspired looks, so this season is completely up my alley.

April in New Brunswick has been pretty chilly so far, but I am getting my orders in soon for my spring favourites so I can pull them out of the closet at first opportunity. And yes… I did reject the Oxford.

Steve Madden Cynthia espadrille. I’d be a lot more thrilled with these babies in a mule, but they’re on my shopping list none the less.

MICHAEL Michael Kors Gala mule. The black is at Urban Shoe Myth, but I also enjoy the tan. Super comfy, and if you’re a Thumbelina like me you’ll be happy to know they run a bit small!

Rosegold Circa cutout wedge sandal. I’m obsessed with these shoes. They are so comfortable. They’re really testing my ethics to the point of near victory. Also available at Urban Shoe Myth

Christina Louboutin Miss Christo cork wedge. Your splurge for the season, wrapped in a bow.

Jeffrey Campbell Bed of Roses strappy wedge. Floral prints are a new love of mine. Added to the shopping list.

MIA Hurache heel. Worship the weave.

Steve Madden BEVV-B. A twist on the nude platform pump.

Rock & Republic Judy woven sandal. I like a thong sandal that offers a bit more coverage, personally.

Stuart Weitzman Raffia woven sandal. This sandal has a leather sole but polyurethane straps. Who would have known?

MICHAEL Michael Kors again with Palm Beach braided sandal. I picked these up today at Urban Shoe Myth and I love them.

Dirty Little Secret

“If you can’t get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you’d best teach it to dance.”
George Bernard Shaw

Yep, it's this bad.

Been thinkin’ about my closet.

Broadly speaking, I’ve been thinking about my inability to put away my clothes and accessories. Clothing that I spend much of my disposable income on. In the last while I’ve even developed the habit of filling the floor of my walk-in with clean laundry. My cats think the pile is a bed, so I inevitably walk about wrinkled and furry.

I don’t think it’s simply laziness. My storage “solutions” aren’t working for me. One sliding door is off its track. My hanging rods are in the wrong places. My purse shelves are insufficient for all my bags. Particular shoes are impossible to find. Furthermore, my light is broken! My thought process is that a neat looking, workable system will put me on the right track to changing my habits.

Bottom line, your closet has to work for you. My friend Kiera is a closet guru, as evidenced by her KV Style articles on the subject. For the actual organization of its contents, I defer you to her, but lets talk about having a proper place to put all that stuff.

Identify your problem areas and what you might do to resolve them. My closet currently boasts four rods with a shelving unit down the centre. There are some storage baskets on the lower shelves for scarves and such. I’ve got ample room on the sides of the closet walls for hampers. I have more than enough room for my clothes, but not enough hangers when everything has been laundered, nor the appropriate real estate for everything else.

I debated ripping out the existing bit and building something from scratch, but for now it makes more sense to create a Frankenstein out of the existing structure with a few pieces added or removed. I’d rather spend my money on what goes in them. For descriptive purposes I’m going to be using Ikea’s Pax Wardrobe Planner, a system I will absolutely invest when I buy my own home or condo.

Bag Lady

Currently my dozen or so handbags are crammed into six narrow adjustable shelves in a tower centred between my clothing rods (or collecting dust on the floor). Shelves are definitely the best option for my bags as many are too large for hooks or should be kept in their dust covers. I also want to avoid undue strain on my shoulder straps and handles from the weight of the bag itself.

My solution is to add a second set of shelves. They’re pretty generic, so matching shouldn’t be an issue. I may add a second skinny tower next to the first or a wider tower on the side wall of the closet. My woven baskets from Wicker Emporium neatly hide scarves and other accessories. They slide easily in and out of the current shelves. I want to toss ample lint brushes and my battery operated de-pilling thing in these baskets as well, because I can never find this stuff when I need it.

Walked All Over

Footwear is by and large my biggest concern. I purged to the point I can forgo my lower left clothing rod and have stacked my shoe boxes all to one side. It seems pretty conventional for most people to have a dress/suit rod and store footwear under said rod. I need to accommodate 25 pairs and growing. Shoe trees are not appropriate for this many pairs. If you check the reviews for cubby type units online, you’ll see many a complaint that each compartment is often too small to hold both shoes in a pair. The hanging “pocket” style are equally impractical, not to mention ugly.

I think my best bet is a three to four tiered flat top, wide shelving unit or alternatively, installing the shelves myself. Boots will have to be relegated to the top of the unit or under my purse shelves.

Don’t Leave Me Hanging

Many people keep a chest of drawers in their walk-in for folding. While I may consider this in the future, my drawer set remains in the bedroom and contains my intimates, t-shirts, and pull overs. My clothing rods are a bit disorganized at the moment. The lower right quadrant is jammed with cardigans, blazers and pants while the top has my tanks, blouses, dresses and skirts. The upper right rod has a lot of things I don’t wear that can be stored or purged and a few of my roommate’s dresses. The fourth quadrant is empty as previously mentioned.

I want to add a few more tiered skirt and pant hangers to my collection and have only one garment per tier. The hangers I have no for those items are overloaded and I can’t really see what I own. I want to shift my dresses and skirts to the appropriate rod and leave the bottom rod for bottoms and the top for tops. I know… total rocket science. I’ll be replacing all my plastic jobbies with high quality wooden hangers. If I keep the empty or “free” hangers at the front and visible, I’ll be more likely to hang things back up.

Let’s face it…

I believe these things are best planned by acknowledging both your intentions and your existing habits. I know that I am going to want to drop pieces of my outfit before I drop into bed. Like many people, I don’t launder everything after one wear, but I may not hang it up right away. I’m going to find an attractive covered hamper to place discretely in the bedroom specifically for “clean” clothes. My closet is actually just across the hall from my bedroom door and I can’t see myself EVER making it that extra few feet. It may not always save me from wrinkles, but it will at least save my bedroom from its current slovenly appearance.

I know I’m not offering most of you any new information, but the closet is an easily neglected region. My hope for this post is that in sharing my closet renovation odyssey, you too will be motivated to make some changes.

Travel Fabulously

Bag Lady, you gonna miss your bus. You can’t hurry up, ‘cause you got too much stuff. – Eryka Badu

This is a long one. Remember to click “Continue Reading” if you’re viewing from the main page!

Like pretty much everything I intend to do, I intended to do this post weeks ago. Many of you fine fabulous freedom seekers may be heading to warmer climates over the following weeks in order to get through the tail end of winter. Alas, I am Saint John bound for the next while as I embark on a new job. Whether you’re heading to the south of France or down Mexico way, I’ve found a few items I urge you not to leave without.

Vacations should be used to relax the soul. Despite your best intentions to chill, sometimes we try to see and do everything. Travelling is tiring enough, but a lot of little mishaps can make your experience less than enjoyable. Hauling heavy bags to and from stations and airports is needless exertion when you can easily pack light. If you’re miserable from sore toes or self conscious about a popped button, viewing the Mona Lisa might be a lot less moving. Having been to seven countries in as many years and dozens of cities and towns with very different weather and landscapes, you could say I’ve learned a few lessons.

Take a cue from an onion
Packing layers is a cardinal rule for most destinations. Choose your most versatile pieces and pack fewer items. Everyone has a few pieces that they know can be mixed and matched into multiple outfits. Make sure you have layers that can be taken on and off depending on the weather. Even hot climates can be pretty chilly at night! Life is easier when you pack as light as possible, especially when going to and through the airports and between destinations. Personally, I love a good day dress or slip. It can be dressed up or down so easily and will keep me cool.

Treat your feet
I know we know this, but we don’t do it. I know you have a vision of yourself gliding through Venetian streets in your Manolos, looking the picture of perfection. Well I have news for you; in about an hour you’ll have snapped a heel on the cobblestones and acquired several open blisters. If you absolutely must wear those heels to dinner, stash them in a bag rather than carrying them all day. I’m not suggesting we dawn our ADIDAS for Guadalajara. Appropriate footwear exists from both a comfort and style perspective. I’m a pretty big proponent of Crocs for this purpose. Most are extremely lightweight and come in a variety of styles for all circumstances. My biggest regret is what I did to my feet once in NYC. I did so much walking for the first couple of days in improper foot wear that on the way home my feet and ankles had swelled to the point I could not wear my shoes. No matter how vain you think you are, you really won’t care about what’s on your feet as long as you’re comfortable. Oh, and don’t fear the metro. The metro is your friend.

First Aid is First
Bandaids, blister pads, topical antiseptic, anti-nausea, allergy & headache pills are just a few of the first aid items you should never leave home without. Again, these items may be difficult (or astronomically expensive!) to purchase locally. My dearest lovebird of the orient may recall a certain 1200 yen bottle of Tylenol he was not happy to acquire for me. Prevent ailments by eating well, keeping hydrated and wearing proper footwear!

Tiny Everything
Even if you think you won’t, you or a travel companion will certainly require tweezers/ a needle and thread/scissors/nail clippers/makeup brush/comb/hair elastic/wash cloth at one time or another. Travel size toiletries and refillable travel bottles are excellent, but itty bitty versions of other items are handy too. Depending on your travel plans, you may not be able to purchase these items at your destination. Pre-made kits are available, but there’s no reason why you can’t create your own by making a list and heading to your local drug or dollar store.

You’ve Got What I Need (Partie Deux)

The lovely Black Dog Boutique, photo pinched from the website

I don’t look right in American clothes. I have a more European body. – Blanche Devereaux, Golden Girls

I’ve been a little hyper alert to service and atmosphere, as my last post implied. I require something extra these days in every consumer experience. I’m not sure anymore if this is the entitlement of my generation or a raise in my standards, but I know I’m not alone. Sometimes it doesn’t take much!

Stephanie of Perfume’s Plus recently said to me, in reference to Kiera of Je Suis Prest boutique, “How does she remember everyone’s name?!”. Like a girly Wyle E. Coyote, a light bulb popped over my head. Sure, we all know JSP filled a void in SJ fashion when Kiera Fraser opened the doors in 2009, but what makes us LOVE our experience? I’m not going to start quoting the Cheers theme, but we all know that type of friendly atmosphere is what most of us crave – and it’s rare in apparel retail.

Full disclosure: I got to know Kiera initially by virtue of my shopping addiction, but over many a sushi date and flea market she’s become a friend. I really believe if this were not the case, Kiera, Joy and co. would still make me feel just as special every time I walked in. They know their regulars. They know their style and their colours; what to accentuate and what to hide. This is a process, but an excellent first step is just remembering their name. On perhaps her third visit, a gal pal of mine expressed shock at being addressed as she left. In my mind she became a little fish lured and hooked by the chandelier decal.

It’s the feeling of comfort I get when I’m twirling in front of the mirror. Clothes shopping can be a source of anxiety for a lot of women, regardless of size or shape. Particularly in a store like JSP where you’re bound to confront a foreign trend or hemline… you may need a little extra hand holding. The feeling I’m among friends goes a long way.

Jill at Black Dog Boutique on Germain Street has this down pat already, despite just having opened this past fall. Immediately after you arrive she will introduce herself like you’ve arrived at her home. She’s then falling all over herself to help you, regardless of how busy she is. It is fortunate that the space is tiny, because trying to dress more than a couple people by oneself is a feat I cannot even comprehend. She does this masterfully and apologizes profusely if there is even a moment of delay.

Her shop features the eco-chic Toggery and Montreal’s Eve Gravel among others. On my last visit, I popped on some Yoga Jeans by Second Clothing. Jill helpfully insisted I try a couple sizes smaller, despite my hesitance. She was on the mark with her adjustments for the vanity sizing and extra stretch of this product. She knew the product inside and out because she’s worn it herself. Particularly in a jean, this knowledge is priceless. Her confidence that a piece will work can also be attributed to the deliberately limited range of product in store.

Black Dog has atmosphere. Although I am a little uncomfortable maneuvering around if there are more than two people in the store, the décor is homey with a ton of pop culture eye candy throughout. The dressing room takes up roughly half the store, with three curtained stalls and a large open area featuring seating and an enormous crème coloured baroque floor-to-ceiling mirror. That mirror loves me as much as I love it. I sort of love the lack of personal space as well. It forces me to interact with other women in the store when I would have otherwise ignored them, bonded by our common dance of pants-pulling and top-tugging.

The teeny space also reminds me a tad of my favourite west coast boutique, Smoking Lily. I’d estimate the Victoria location at 4’x10’! Fortunately Black Dog is a lot more functional than that, but the old adage that big things come in small packages rings true. I guess this applies to Ms. Fraser herself as well! Something to aspire to, I guess.

Next up: I have boys on the brain and I don’t know what to do about it besides blog!

Ukamaku!

I have to interrupt myself for a moment for a couple of things.

First, special thanks to BarbBarbBarb for featuring me this week!

Second, have you seen Ukamaku? Launched recently, this online boutique features only Canadian fashion and accessories.

Ukamaku comes from a minority language in the Andes, meaining “That’s It”.

The Late Blooming Cosmopolitan (Partie Un)

Do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends. – Walt Disney

A surge has been building in my little city for awhile now and it means everyone is going to have to step up their game or be left behind. As we grow, quality in local business is more of a sink or swim issue than ever.

In my travels I’ve found industrial towns to be rich in people. Industrial towns tend to have a population with a variety of backgrounds, be it due to economic circumstance or ethnicity. I feel this keeps the creativity and innovation flowing because the people within feel compelled to make the community (or communities) work.

My little Saint John has come a long way in this regard during the past several years. While I fear gentrification because it inevitably alienates those who don’t fit a certain socio-economic mold, I hold out hope that our urban area is somehow different. We are friendly people. We like getting to know our neighbours, customers, and community leaders. We want to help those in need. We want safe streets without over policing (efforts like the Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods Act are proof of that).

Being a creative bunch, our entrepreneurial scene is booming. It’s dizzying how many excellent cafés, restaurants and bars there are in uptown Saint John, relevant to its small size. Lemongrass, Thandis and Sense of Tokyo have my dinners covered depending on my flavor inclinations (can you tell I dig Asian?). If I feel like quality pub fare or a hearty lunch with a pint of something nice, Britts, Big Tide and Urban deli are only a few blocks from my door. Need to relax? Nip over to the low-lit Happinez and peruse their wine menu while sinking into their cozy cushioned benches. At all of these you will encounter friendly competent staff, owners who take pride in their business, and an atmosphere that can’t be beat. Princess Street, home of Big Tide, Happinez, and Britts among others is becoming a pub haven. I pray O’leary’s radically restructures its business model away from filth and bar fights in order to fit in with the block, but I won’t hold my breath.

A recent Here article points out that this goes hand in hand with the rise in quality local fashion (Neiman Marcus probably wonders what happened to me now that I can actually go to a local store to buy clothes). I can only hope that our fashion scene goes the way of our food industry. When demand happens, the market is supplied. When competition exists, the bar is raised. We’re getting more discerning as a people in term s of service and quality. I like to think I’m rarely a diva, whether it’s about my plate or my portmanteau, but you can bet I know what I like.

I am like an elephant when it comes to my service experiences. I won’t necessarily write off a resto or store because of an instance of bad service, but you can bet I’ll think twice when faced with another option. That said… that little something extra goes a lot farther in my memory than a wee service SNAFU.

I adore the Bourbon Quarter/Magnolia. I’ve haunted this building like a second home when it was Elwoods and even the dingy Studio 112. It’s no secret the local music scene is my lifeblood. I was initially attracted to the Bourbon Quarter because it offered music that was a little different than some of the other venues. The space is phenomenal and as are the servers (shout out to my infallible fellow Simonds High graduate Lindsay), but I was disappointed in the lack of vegan or vegetarian options on the menu. Worse yet, I wasn’t alone. Given that most quality Saint John restaurants have this demographic covered, this was a real weak point for the business. I had mentioned it to my server in passing, but until recently I had never bothered to communicate my thoughts to the owners. Turns out they were way ahead of me!

Whinge, and you shall receive. Shawn Verner contacted me straight away yesterday afternoon to invite me to sample a salad from the new menu (debuts Monday), on the house. I was a happy vegan guinea pig. Their delightful new chef presented me with spinach covered in chopped avocado, bell peppers, pineapple, and toasted pumpkin seeds with a lime dressing containing paprika, cumin, and a third spice that escapes me at the moment. The salad greens will shift with freshness and availability.

They then surprised me with a main comprised of a de-gilled grilled portobello (the best I’ve had without exaggeration), Israeli couscous and a variety of well-oiled veggies (fresh garden carrots, broccoli, asparagus, onion). On the side was a veggie roll wrapped in zucchini – pretty innovative. Shawn candidly expressed his concern that his former chef(s) was unwilling to bend on the menu. He felt excluding the meat-free options from the menu sent a message to vegetarians and vegans that they didn’t matter as customers. He feels as strongly about healthy options as he does a commitment to offering as many fresh, local ingredients as possible.

This type of gesture is common among some restaurants but not all. Besides obtaining invaluable customer feedback, you send a message to your customers that you take your business model seriously. If it’s right, it’s absolutely right, and if it’s not right they want to hear about it and make it better. I am tiny, but loud. Because I enjoyed myself so much last evening, you’re all going to be hearing the words Bourbon Quarter come out of my mouth more than you probably wish. If you want me to shut up, please go try the new menu next week and come back to comment.

To be continued… next up: How Je Suis Prest stole our hearts (and wallets)

P.S.: I’ll make you a deal. If you comment more, I’ll post more. I might even take myself seriously and edit out my babbling and grammatical errors.

Your Holiday Fashion Fix: The Party Dress

This story’s gonna grab people. It’s about this guy, he’s crazy about this girl, but he likes to wear dresses. Should he tell her? Should he not tell her? He’s torn, Georgie. This is drama.
- Ed Wood

If I wasn’t such a sloth I would be over at my other blog talking about the backlash to wikileaks and what it says about democracy. You know, like, stuff that matters. But instead I’m going to talk about party dresses.

A few years ago, you’d be hard pressed to find me out of trousers (well, unless you were a very, very fortunate gentleman with a big bottle of sauvignon blanc and a lot of smooth talking). What I mean is, party dresses were not for me. I felt I had legs like tree trunks that no hemline could forgive. After a while I realized, damnitt, a lot of work and many years of habitually wearing high heels went into these toned calves. Better share them with the world. Sadly, my athleticism has failed me the past few months and I have only my high heels to fall back on.

A great dress makes a woman feel like she owns the room and everyone in it. The key is loving what you’ve chosen and molding it to your style with the right shoes and accessories. This is an art that must be practised before it can be mastered. I could have posted a million of my favourite dresses for the holiday season, but here are just a few:

BB Dakota – Whitman

I own this bad mother. Both figuratively and literally. For the budget conscious, 80$ CADDakota Collective. Pardon the model. She looks a little too morning after for my liking.

Diane von Furstenberg – Ruched Chiffon Combo

I can’t say enough about this dress. I love love love ivory/crème with black. If you ask me, you can absolutely rock this as a winter white. 345& USD @ Neiman Marcus

MARC BY MARC JACOBS – ‘Collage Garden’

The boned bodice and ruffles make me love this dress for New Year’s Eve. Picture yourself twirling around in it. Go on, do it. 584$ CAD @ Nordstrom.

Maison by House of Spy – Coquette

This dress by the aforementioned Montreal fashion house looks safe enough until you see the cut-away back. If you’re looking for simple but stunningly sexy: look no further. 110$ CAD @ House of Spy

Nanette Lepore – Madam Spy

Oh, ruffles. I love Nanette Lepore for their dedication to femininity. 298$ USD @ Neiman Marcus. Please browse the current selection from this designer. I’d post all of the dresses if it was feasible.

Juicy Couture – Crocodile Velour Mini

This dress drips Christmas. Compliment it with a pair of brown knee high boots or black platform pumps. 158$ USD @ Neiman Marcus
