JUST FOUND A DATE FOR FRIDAY NIGHT

Guess what came in the mail today? I'm not even going to crack it till this evening when I can savour it while tucked under a blanket with a glass of white wine. Serendipitous indeed, what a pleasant surprise on a Friday afternoon.

Does anyone know where I can buy back issues of nos. 2 & 3 of The Gentlewoman?

ZZZzzzzzz...

A week of sewing, cleaning and trying to get over a cold. Feeling less than inspiring, would rather be sleeping.

IT'S UP

Hand-Slashed, Genuine Black Leather Pencil Skirt. Find it here!

COMING THIS WEEK

Stay tuned this week as I post a few new items in my shop, including this hand-cut leather skirt you may remember from way back when. I finally found the time to perfect a few details and am feeling ready to make it available to anyone interested. I'll be taking proper photos tomorrow, with listings going up (hopefully) no later than Thursday. I'll keep you posted.



Happy I finally got a chance to show off one of my very favourite paintings too; my Nana bought this fox on a trip to London many years ago and gifted me with it when I moved to Montreal. It's ghostly visage haunted me throughout childhood but it now feels like my familiar, watching over me as I work.

For me the fox head has become a personal talisman of sorts, something I cherish and feel protected by. I wear my Pyrrha fox head ring, or the bronze amulet my sister gave me for my 30th birthday everyday:

WANT.

So my favourite pal and oft-time inspiration, Laurel, alerted me to the estate sale of Douglas Fairbanks Jr this week in NYC. Bad news is you missed it (the auction happened Tuesday) good news is you have a new style icon for Fall - monogrammed everything hellzz yeah!!!

ABOUT THIS TIME FOUR YEARS AGO...

I know I sound like a broken record, but I really really want another true vacation sometime soon - who's in?

JUST A RAINY MONDAY

I love this kind of weather - the cool, grey, nesting, working sort of weather. A pause.

SATURDAY COCOONING

'Cocooning is the name given to the trend that sees individuals socializing less and retreating into their home more.'

FEELS LIKE FALL

Sending some new Fall styles out to Victoire this week, expect to see them in shop soon.
I don't know about you guys but all I want to wear lately are button-ups. Nothing beats a crisp collared shirt worn with slouchy trousers and some Bass loafers. Dudes, I think I've gone prep.
