Hard Winter Tales
We’re in for a hard winter this year. Not in the old way. Not because the temperature will drop to -30° C. But in a new way because of COVID.
Fast Fashion Lapse
I’m mostly a slow fashion devotee. I buy quality and keep my clothes a long time. But lately I veered over into the fast fashion lane.
“Hi. Happy New Year.”
I just dropped in to say Happy New Year. And to chat about nothing much, really. It’s amazing how lovely it is to chat about nothing much.

This is not a Christmas post. Not really. It’s not a gift guide. Nor a how-to-dress for Christmas post. Mostly it’s about Christmas cake.

I am usually a mindful and restrained shopper. But since it’s been raining winter dresses at my house this week, my slow-fashion reputation may be shot.
Are You a Hat Person?
I’m a hat person. So why then do I rarely wear hats? Especially winter hats. Well, it’s all about the hair. Or was until recently.
Paris in December … We Wish
Paris in December is supposed to be magical. And we’re about to find out. If only in our imaginations. Paris in December. I wish. We all wish.
Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch.
Meanwhile back at the ranch. Hubby and I are walking, and smoking (ha) and reading and reminiscing and walking some more. November Vlog.
A Fulsome Discussion About Winter Boots
I just purchased my first pair of winter boots in decades. Yep. Even though I live in cold, snowy Canada, I have long eschewed winter boots. Until now.
Hard Talk About the Holidays
With snow on the ground, Hubby and I have been thinking of our decision to stay home for the holidays. And have a celebration just for two.
Weekend in Paris, Anyone?
I’m planning another fictional High Heels in the Wilderness event. An escape from all our cares. Are you up for a getaway weekend in Paris?
