Bag (And Shoe) Lady! 0

As a girl, I am plagued by a few addictions – bags and shoes! No matter how many of each I own, there always seems to be just enough space in my closet for another… well not really, but I somehow find the space. Here are a few new pieces that now have a comfy [...]

New Year, New ‘Do! 3

2011 is just around the corner, and with a new year and plenty of new projects coming up, I felt it was time to update my ‘do. So I show up at my salon Local B with a plan (and a photo) of the hair I want. The next thing I know, my beloved stylist [...]

And a Partridge in a Pear Tree! 1

Ok so it’s not exactly in partridge, it’s more like a dove. And it’s not in a pear tree either. But whatever, it’s so cute! After I was initiated to Etsy a little while back with this little purchase, I have since spent a lot of time browsing around looking for my next fabulous find. [...]

Everyone, Meet Irene Jung! 2

Yesterday I came home to a surprise (and I love surprises!) – a package in my mailbox! I anxiously ripped apart the hideously ugly shipping box to find this! A beautifully simple box with a green bow and a note. “Enjoy your new necklace!” My jewelry had finally arrived! A while ago I had entered [...]

Where Have I been?! 0

Chic on the Street has been sightly neglected over the past week, but things have been a little hectic. I spent last weekend in Toronto visiting the in-laws and celebrating my boyfriend’s niece’s 4th birthday! The weekend flew by so fast that it almost felt like a dream. But it was a great weekend filled [...]

Simple Pleasures – Apple Sauce! 0

In the category of simple pleasures is apple sauce. So sweet, cinnamony, warm… so yummy, especially on these cool autumn days we’ve been having! My friend Janey brought me a bag of apples the other day and I had been racking my brain to figure out something yummy and different to make with them. Apple [...]

Shopping Therapy! 0

Sorry I ‘ve been MIA for the past week, but it’s all been for a good cause! I’ve been up to my eyeballs in work, from my regular day job to a few personal projects I’ve been working to get off the ground. And of course, I’ve found the time to do a little shopping [...]

My First Etsy Purchase! 4

Last week I got a package in the mail! I love coming home to find a surprise in my mailbox. I had ordered them over a week ago and completely forgotten about them, so it was like a gift when they appeared in my box right before the long weekend. I had been looking for [...]

A Moment to Say… Thank You 1

This weekend was all about family, food and appreciation. I spent this weekend in Toronto at my boyfriend’s sister’s place, and although it’s a long drive from Montreal, it’s all worth it once we get there! The recipe for a fantastic weekend is as simple as great food and even greater company! As usual, my [...]

It’s in the Bag! 0

Admit it! You love to see what’s lurking in the purses of other fashionistas. No judgment! I’m guilty of it too.  I remember back in the day I used to carry the smallest purse, proudly showing off that I didn’t need to carry much with me. Today is a different story. I probably only use [...]
