No matter what the calendar says, it's Fall, at least in my mind. I love boots,
sweaters, and jackets. so this is my favourite time of year to shop. One of my
go-to places for unique clothing and footwear is From Mars on Talbot Street.,
Some years, I look at the colours and styles and go "Meh", but not this year.
There are fabulous sweaters, dresses, and super stylish, but practical boots. My
faves are the red ones in the centre by Fly. I was also lusting after the black ankle
boot pictured above, by Spanish company Neosens, but alas, my ever-annoying
bunions nixed that purchase. Fortunately, I overcame that disappointment
when I found a pair of black suede, over-the-knee boots at Winners today.
I caught Pauline, one of my favourite style icons, shopping on
Richmond Row, looking for more unique pieces to add to her
already fabulous wardrobe.
It's just a t-shirt and cut-offs, but it works because she is is young,
beautiful, and fresh-looking. She's not wearing too much makeup,
she's not trying too hard. I love the sandals and the hat; they add a
flair to the casual simplicity of her look.
From the front, this was a very simple scoop-necked, A-line dress--
ok, but nothing special. Then she turned around and POW! Love the
60's vibe the giant flower creates, and the colours are so much fun.
I had seen this bright splash of green when I was on the bus,
so after I got off at my stop, I walked back a block so I could take
her photo. I love the big standup collar and button detail, and I
realized that I owned the same belt!
We seem to finally be having summer here, and I was
relieved to see that some men have figured out that you
can wear something other than a t-shirt and very baggy
shorts. Jeff, owner of local restaurant, Tru, was headed
to the market in this combination of stripes and windowpane
checks, and it all fits very well--very crisp and fresh-looking.
I love that more men are wearing hats--

This is my latest acquisition from what is becoming my favourite place to
buy jewellery--a great store in Port Stanley called "Frankly Scarlett" (It also
earns points for the cool name). There are two floors of funky, inexpensive
necklaces, bracelets and rings (most bracelets are $15 or under, and the
necklaces are around $20). I love big statement pieces like this.
