WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS

THE FOLLOWING LITTLE OUTFIT LANDED IN MY INBOX TODAY. AND WHAT BETTER TIMING? GREY WET DAYS MAKE ME CRAVE COMFIES--SWEET STEAMY TEA, TOASTY BAGUETTE, AND MY BLANKET. THE RAINCOAT IS REMINDS ME OF MY CHILDHOOD K-WAY. I LOVE THE BIASED-BUTTON DETAILING AND SOFT PALETTE OF THE DRESS, AND, WHEN PAIRED WITH 80s BOAT SHOES, I AM SUDDENLY OVERCOME BY A NEED TO RUN OUTSIDE AND SPLASH IN THE PUDDLES.
ALL ITEMS ARE AVAILABLE AT OFF THE HOOK: 1021 STE. CATHERINE O. 514-499-1021

BODY ART

MAYBE IT'S THE FRESHLY WARM WEATHER, AND GROWING PEEPS OF SUN-DEPRIVED SKIN. MAYBE IT'S SIMPLY THE CYCLICAL FLOW OF ALTERNATIVE TO MAINSTREAM. BUT I HAVE BEEN NOTICING TATTOOS QUIETLY CREEPING INTO FASHION. AT FIRST, I WAS SEEING IT COME FROM ASIAN AND EUROPEAN EDITORIALS. AS OF SPRING 09, THE TREND OFFICIALLY HIT NORTH AMERICAN MAINSTREAM SHORES.

THINK BOLD, GRAPHIC, EDGY, GRITTY, UNDERGROUND.

NOT SHAVEN BRITNEY. AND DEFINITELY NOT THE TRAMP STAMPS OF THE 90S.

Rollercoasters

As you may have noticed, I haven't been writing and posting very regularly these last few weeks. I have been reeling in the wake of life events, from both ends of the spectrum.

As we welcome a new life into the world, my family ushers another out. This week we will be saying goodbye to our gentle-souled Joseph--father, grandfather, great-grandfather.

I will be back next week.
