Edmonton: Spring’s most stylish (green) ride
How is it that my husband, charming and handsome man that he is, whose idea of fashionable outerwear is a Gore-Tex shell by Mountain Hardwear and thinks the Gel-Kayano by Asics is “the best shoe,” has suddenly become more chic than me, a Marni-wearing, Devi Kroell-carrying, Bond No. 9-spritzing girl?

Edmonton: Q&A with James Kershaw
In her last post, Dolly introduced you to makeup artist James Kershaw. The interview continues below.
He’s Edmonton’s makeup and style guru…just don’t call him a writer.
In Edmonton, you’re well known as a makeup artist, stylist, writer…
“Makeup is my main career. People think I’m a writer because of my work in The [Edmonton] Journal; it makes me cringe. I’m not a writer. I don’t aspire to be a writer and will never be a writer.

Lingerie by Christine Vancouver
On a recent trip to my local organic grocery store I saw a sign that read, “Feeling good starts on the inside.” While most people read this phrase and think to themselves, “must eat more fruit and veggies,” diehard fashionistas stop dead in their tracks, turn around and head straight for Night Owl Imports (10180 101st St., 780-423-7757, nightowlimports.com), a well-known designer lingerie boutique and purveyor of all things lace, silk and satin.

Edmonton: Survival of the warmest
When the mercury drops to 30 degrees below zero, I often long for the warm sand beaches of Trinidad and Tobago. My only consolation is beautiful winter wear I can flaunt while braving the blizzards. In fact, one of the primary reasons I adore living in Alberta, Edmonton in particular, is the four distinct seasons we have, which, for me, translates into four fabulous wardrobes (and some multi-tasking transitional pieces).
