Tuesday Look: Margaret Trudeau

In a couple of short days we (the good people of Aveda Canada) are having a bash. It's a fundraiser in support of our Earth Month partner: Watercan. They do amazing things including create sustainable access to clean water for some of the millions of people who live without the luxury of water for sanitation and hydration. The bash is on Thursday night at the Design Exchange and the evening is likely to have many high notes but most exciting to me is spending the evening with the luminous Margaret Trudeau, Watercan's honorary spokesperson. I've always liked the fashion of the early Sussex Drive years and here are some of her glorious looks.

Tuesday Look: Boots Made for Walking

I've been neglecting this little space lately in favour of my busy life via increased responsibility at the office and a hunger to get out of the city every weekend. So here's a summary of the last two weeks.

1. I'm fighting with the Ministry of Transportation
2. I'm looking for a car
3. I'm embracing my new responsibilities at work and still asking stupid questions
4. I'm deeply engaged in fundraising and helping to plan a gala which will (must) be a success
5. I pulled out the first loose tooth of my 6 year old
6. I'm hiring a nanny
7. I celebrated a milestone anniversary at my job
8. I took Graydie to Prada, Gucci, Ports and Holts in one afternoon and tried on dresses upon dresses for said fundraiser gala
9. I bought one more lovely bra set as per my New Year's resolution

10. I have been living in these suede ankle boots and loving the comfort and the look. I'm dreaming of the spring when I can just wear a dress and these.

This Tuesday look is courtesy of the boots which are a lovely marriage of comfort and style and make the walking a little easier.

Tuesday Look: Celine Spring 2010

My recent twitter habit has found me updating myself on world events once per day. It's a healthy obsession that takes only minutes and helps my conversation skills for the next 24 hours. I've enjoyed the Olympic happenings via @Marie Claire but I'm fascinated by the front row musings of @Lisa Tant who was knee deep in Milan Fashion Week. It's opened me to all kinds of fashion inspiration and it's got me diving deeper into brands where twitter is abuzz with praise. Yes, I guess that makes me a "follower" in both the twitter and the trend sense. Here is a peek at the brilliant Celine Spring collection 2010. The new vision of Phoebe Philo (formerly of Chloe) is well expressed in this lovely collection. I'm just loving the twitter feed that keeps confirming that 2010 is a camel year in fashion.
