Walk the Line

October 2, 2015

This time last year, I was walking the sunny, chilly streets of Toronto with a tiny Luma strapped to my chest. She was rarely anywhere else, and I loved every minute of it. This year, she wants to explore the world on her own feet, not mine. When we were in Italy she took three courageous steps on the stone floor of our villa’s kitchen. And this morning, in her siblings bedroom, she did it again.  It’s kind of amazing when I imagine how far her feet will take her –– up mountains, down boulevards, along dirt roads that lead to nowhere, everywhere and obstacles a plenty. But right now, at the start of her second year on this earth, she is just trying to find the courage and balance to take those first few steps. We’re right there with you, little girl.

Coat of Arms

October 1, 2015

It’s been quite some time since I’ve bought myself a coat. But today, as I thew on a goose down vest to fend off the morning chill, the urge for a new outer shell set in. I have a gorgeous trapeze coat in a subtle aztec print that has kept me warm for years, but I like the idea of something longer and a little more classic. This one from Club Monaco makes me think of something Jane Birkin might have worn walking the streets of Paris with Serge Gainsbourg. I adore the colour of this bouclé coat from Emilia Wickstead and this MSGM coat is a great hue, too. Coats likes these make the idea of cold weather easier to bare.
