Buy it or Make it: Wilfred Rocco Skirt


I have flipped for skirts this fall. I recently picked up something like seven skirts from a vintage store shopping excursion. It might be due to the fact that I recently read that wearing denim can cause women to feel more depressed than those that dress in other clothes. Don't get me wrong. I love denim! But, I feel more alive, bubbly, and zesty for life when I style an outfit together for the day. At my recent shopping trip to Aritzia at Toronto's Eaton Center, my daughter loved the music inside the shop and also the window display. They had these beautiful cut-out tree with a winter background. I was struck by the simple skirt on display. The overall outfit isn't something that I would wear. The skirt would be a good modern staple in any girl's closet. I snapped a picture and found on the Aritzia website the closest match to what I had seen. To be honest, I like this skirt better than the original picture that I took! It is the called the Wilfred Rocco Skirt and retails for $115. It does have a paper-bag waist, the maroon skirt above doesn't.

Buy it or Make it: Swimwear


Are you swooning for summer? I am! I love summer, swimsuits, and oceans to swimming pools. Have you noticed that Kate Spade has launched a Swimwear line for the first time! I was so excited. Here is a preview.


Kate Spade Debut Swimwear 2012

Now, I actually love to swim, soak in hot tubs, or paddle on surf boards. Imagine my surprise when I found out these swimsuits are $358 {gasp!} and you can't wear them into hot tubs {double-choke!!}. I don't care if Kate Spade swimsuits come with a free ring, I ain't going to do that! I quickly checked out some other options, including making my own swimwear. I'll let you guess what I'm up to now...
