Wild Things

Don't you just love rainy days in Vancouver? Yeaaahhhh....me, neither! It's quite depressing watching it rain three days straight every time I do the dishes. However I do love getting to put on my rain boots and stepping on puddles with a vengeance!

Here's my little girl in her cute apple rain jacket and new booties. When I saw those boots, I had to buy them. They look almost like a pair I have. I know it's lame to have your kids dress like you but maybe I'm just vain. No, not maybe...I am.

Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry

I just watched this documentary on Ai Weiwei. What an amazing artist...and ballsy! It is inspiring to see him use art to communicate his concern against China's human rights policies (or lack there of). I don't know if I would ever be as courageous to go up against something so big. I think I'd die if I had to live in a world where you had to censor yourself...cause as you know, a lot of shit always comes out of my mouth.

It was also refreshing to see the power of twitter and other social media used as a weapon to spread free speech and record the truth rather than nonsense celebrity news. It was like watching him in combat, guerrilla warfare style...always one step ahead of the big guys.

Which Designer Are You Reading?

The 65th Emmy Awards are tonight and there’s no doubt that the number one question on the red carpet will be “Which designer are you wearing?”.  I’m sure the celebrities must get tired of that question! So instead, I’d like to throw out this question…”Which designer are you reading?”

Aren’t you just drooling thinking about filling up your shelves with these books? I was gifted these from work for my five year anniversary there. I already owned a few other designers in the same series so it was a nice addition to my set. Can you guess the designer in the photos below?

A New Beginning

There are three times in the year when it feels like the perfect opportunity to start something new...New year's Day, Spring (especially after a good spring cleaning) and the beginning of September (remember how exciting it was to get new school supplies? Ha, well...I get to experience that all over again with my children). 

So what am I starting new? This blog!...that I hope to actually keep up with! My first one died a slow and painful death. Painful because I was seeing my monthly hosting fees go down the drain. Slow because I didn't realize how hard it was to keep up with blogging and add to that, the addition of a new baby. Not sure if I'll still be able to keep up the pace but who cares. Hopefully those who've landed on this blog will enjoy the content. I'll be sharing my outfit posts, thrift finds and random thoughts and inspiration. Hopefully, I can make this into a mini diary through one of those on-line publishing companies and share it with my grand kids one day so they can say...grandma was actually cool =).
