I am lying on my back, eyes closed. It is summertime. I am lakeside on a wooden dock in Lost River, Quebec. I hear the beat of wings. A dragonfly lands on me. I sit up, startled.
If you watch a dragonfly closely, they are fantastic flyers, darting like light, twisting, turning, changing direction, even going backwards as the need arises...
I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to all of you who continue to journey with us. We've had many positive changes this year - a new Suetables video https://www.suetables.com/ca/new-suetables-fashion-video-watch-it-love-i..., a fruitful design...
Let me start by saying I’m just a regular mom trying to figure it out as I go along.
As much as I like to think that I know it all, I am, in fact, still learning. With each passing day, running a business and raising kids, I’m still learning how to stay healthy and calm, how to find the positives and laugh a little along the way. There...
My sister and I are New York bound. My mother "won" tickets to some fashion awards event at the Henderson Hoedown for Wellspring charity http://citylife.nationalpost.com/2012/05/12/wellspring-henderson-hoedown.... True to her generous...
Stylish fashion reporter/columnist extraordinaire, Jeannie Becker, turned 60 in March. I saw her this week at Fashion Week and I was reflecting on how good she looked. I wish I had written these hard-learned nuggets of wisdom so I share them here with you in my blog. The * denotes my favourites.
Here are her 60 reflective affirmations:...
It's Toronto's Spring Fashion Week 2013. The elite, fashionistas, reporters - including Toronto's Jeannie Becker looking great - were out in full force.
Inspired by pop art from the 60's, Joe Fresh presented an affordable, chic line with bold patterns, chunky healed pumps, white infused tops and pants with touches of bold colour and...
My baseball cap-wearing, sports-pants boys would not fit in in Paris nor would my 60’s inspired, hand-me-down wardrobe I endured as a kid growing up in Montreal. Paris has changed so much since I was a child and parts of it are unrecognizable to me. A lot of this has been good change in the form of more art, neighborhood-defining restaurants...
I suppose what separated us from the plane full of other Canadian tourists that arrived in Paris that day was that we were only there for three days. We have lives that cater to our kids and clients so Paris, and much of our extensive travel, is about carving out time for us - seemingly impossible to do from home. We wanted to soak in the...
There are so many reasons we should NOT go to Paris - we have four kids, we have a new puppy, I should write a blog, I have a cold, my office is a mess, my fridge is empty (not to mention my bank account...) and much more.
But we are going. Just me and Tony.
For three whole days.
And this is my blog.
Novelist and Screenwriter Nora Ephron grew up at a time when, "our education was a dress rehearsal for a life we never led." Isn't that the saddest line?
