Balmain, Kenzo and Dior are among the many fashion designers who have been playing with studs and beading this season. Bags, shoes, jackets and jeans have all been revamped with this heavy metal look, transforming sweet and demure into strong and bold. Women everywhere seem to have fallen in love with this look, and I am one of them. Read more »

Her name is Jenny P. and she loves fashion more than I do. I always knew this about my friend, but I didn’t fully understand until I walked into her home. Her basement alone is filled with rolling rack after rolling rack of old and new clothing. She has a sewing room filled with scarves and delicate fabrics. Furs and trench coats are piled high at her front entrance. This woman is the definition of a fashion addict.

I’ve always been bad at keeping secrets. My favorite thrift shop, Ruby Slipper was one of them…until now. I decided that sharing is caring and wanted to show everyone with a little video of where half of my closet is from.

How people can give some things away is a mystery to me. Especially those one-of-a-kind, classic pieces that can forever be a part of your wardrobe. This thought came to me when I uncovered a vintage Cowichan sweater from the racks of Value Village (1560 Regent Ave. W., 204-661-9045, valuevillage.com) a few short days ago.

Gaudy jewelry. Dusty books. Dainty china. Pins and buckles. Ancient technology. Tarnished silver… My Little Pony! There is really nothing quite like the smell of nostalgia. Sundays have historically been my day of rest, but after a little encouragement from a friend and a stiff cup of joe, I found a new way to spend my lazy afternoon: digging through rusted old memories at the Mulvey Market (1A 421 Mulvey Ave. E., 204-478-1217).

I have three weeks off work, it’s been minus 36 degrees outside for much too long and the view from my bedroom window is obstructed with ice crystals. Cabin fever has officially taken hold and the other day I found myself standing in front of my closet with a pair of scissors.
