put your hand in my pocket

I LOVE POCKETS!
Seriously though, every single dress, over-sized tee, or sweater MUST have pockets in order to make it to the top of my wardrobe VIP list.




The bottom line is,
I just don't know what to do with my hands...





PUT THEM IN YOUR POCKETS!

belts are a girl's best friend



Accessories - quite the obsession for this little one over here. I have countless headbands, more than enough bags, purses, and clutches, and about a billion belts! I just find everything looks so much better belted. Can you not agree?


A plain tee tucked into a pair of mid-rise jeans - skinny belt, please. Oversized t-shirt dress - fat belt with a big buckle works. Or a high-waisted skirt over a slim blouse looks complete with that patent leather number right in the middle. Thank you belts for being the missing peice in every one of my outfits.

Above: An amazing find from (the late) Attic. Pink croc-skin and 'gold' hardware? I think I just wet my panties a little...

OH look at that bling shine! My all-time favourite belt. Thank you VV for handing over a beautiful gem.




This is pretty 80's inspired with the way it stretches and slings! OH, lovely links, how I adore thee.



To be honest, I forgot I had this belt. I'm always so uncertain about brown, because I just don't know how to wear earthy colours, but with this outfit, the belt actually works.

saving the world, one handbag at a time!



Eight years ago, a superhero among superheroes entered onto the fashion scene. Inder Bedi had a vision that went beyond fashion, and with his concept of MATT & NAT, he devised the 'positivity message', that unites the spiritual and material. Located in the always stylish, but mostly trend-following, city of Montreal, Bedi's minions are hard at work creating accessory masterpieces that will inspire the world. All of his bags, for both men and women, are not only unique and original, but animal friendly as well. Each bag is labeled with an inspiring message: 'choose life/choose positivity/choose the golden rule/choose to be at peace with yourself/choose salvation.' Made with true vegan leathers, faux suedes, and 'vintage' hard goods, MATT&NAT is truly a brand unique to itself.


The bags range from $70 to $250 in price, but when supporting such an amazing idea, how can anyone argue with the price?

(for those of us who can, MATT & NAT can be found at Winners for almost half the price!)

No time for introductions

Allo, Allo, mes cheries! Introductions, how I hate thee, therefore, I shall skip right over them!
So, let us begin, shall we?
