Found: A Stunning Scarf

 

When it comes right down to it, what really separates the ordinary from the extraordinary ?  In fashion, it's all about the details:  the great silver cuff, the punchy green bag, the slightly oversized collar on a jacket or the pop of colour in a cobalt pump.  French women have always known that all you really need are a handful of good, versatile wardrobe basics made extraordinary with accessories.  

A scarf takes a bit of courage but you really don't have to overthink it.  Imagine a good white shirt, a tan trench coat, your favourite pair of jeans and then, the pièce de résistance - a vibrant silk scarf tied loosely around your neck, and you suddenly transform from average to amaazing.

These new silk scarves from Jacob are a total must-have.  The colours are bang on, the prints absolutely Hermès-esque and they're only $15.  That's a fashion risk I'm totally willing to take.

Get them before they're gone at Jacob stores nationwide.   Happy Friday!

Found: A Perfect Papaya Cardigan

Cardigans bring to mind words like 'practical', 'safe', and 'boooring'.  So, when I find a cardigan I love, I feel like everyone should know about it.  This piece of papaya perfection has swept me off my feet and at a glance, I swear it single-handedly cured me from the flu that hit our house last week.  One look at its brilliant colour, its luxurious silhouette and its simple gold buttons and I was smitten.  Luckily it's from Jacob and in stores now for only $79.  Don't you just love?!

Thanks for your patience with my slow posting ways last week.  This week should be a good one, though...my sister and I are meeting Jenna Lyons at Toronto's J.Crew launch party this Wed night.  Can't wait to give you all the inside scoop.  Eek!

Meeeoww

It's a jungle out there, my little urban kittens, and when the pavement gets cooking, so should you.  Look to the safari (read:  YSL and Elie Tahari) for inspiration and breeze through the heat in an airy white shirt, linen-blend shorts and strappy flats.  A python-print clutch and cat-eye sunnies (meeeowww!) add just enough jungle boogie to your bounce. Bare your beautiful feline features with a touch of tinted moisturizer, a hint of gloss and a coat of waterproof mascara and you'll be ready to explore - from the bustling city streets to the sandswept shore.  Anyone want to lend me a Jeep?
