ASOS “Hearts” Stripes http://www.plusshe.ca/2012/01/asos-hearts-stripes/ http://www.plusshe.ca/2012/01/asos-hearts-stripes/#respond Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:50:54 +0000 http://www.plusshe.ca/?p=1957 I know some of you hate stripes, especially horizontal ones but we all need to open ourselves up a little more and reclaim the “don’ts” of our youth — like horizontal stripes.

ASOS “hearts” horizontal stripes, including the horizontal ones. When I first thought of this post they had a lot more to choose from. I can only assume that stripes are so popular they are having a hard time keeping them in stock.

When it comes to stripes you no longer have to think of full body coverage like the old black and white jail suits. There are many options to choose from: wide and narrow stripes, multi-colored colored stripes, color blocked stripes, and accent stripes.

Five Resolutions for New Year http://www.plusshe.ca/2011/12/five-resolutions-for-new-year/ http://www.plusshe.ca/2011/12/five-resolutions-for-new-year/#respond Tue, 27 Dec 2011 20:55:03 +0000 http://www.plusshe.ca/?p=1930 I am not big on resolutions to lose weight or what other bad habits we want to do less of but I do like to give myself a few goals — unfortunately the tend to be the same as last year — they can always be improved upon: woman cleaning out closet

Personal Resolutions

  • Drink more water.
  • Increase activities.
  • Practice patience.
  • Whine / complain less.
  • Read more books.

Fashion Related Resolutions

  • Clean out closet in January and August.
  • Do not spend more than I can accommodate.
  • For every item that comes in one must go out.
  • Focus more about do’s than don’ts.
  • Add more shoes to wardrobe (I am being totally serious, I don’t have enough shoes).

These are brief for sharing purposes, real goals should be more specific and include any required amounts and time frames.

What are a few of your personal and fashion related resolutions for coming year?

Happy Thanksgiving http://www.plusshe.ca/2011/10/happy-thanksgiving-2/ http://www.plusshe.ca/2011/10/happy-thanksgiving-2/#respond Mon, 10 Oct 2011 04:53:04 +0000 http://www.plusshe.ca/?p=1728 family sitting down to dinner

The funny thing about Thanksgiving,
or any huge meal, is that you spend
12 hours shopping for it and then
chopping and cooking and braising
and blanching. Then it takes 20 minutes
to eat it and everybody sort of sits
around in a food coma, and then it
takes four hours to clean it up.
~Ted Allen

Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy the “food coma” while it lasts.
