Which is where I bought it.
It works just as beautifully as a dress as it does as a shirt.
And for that, I love it.
Leroy’s happy place? The dog park. Which is where we took him for his first birthday last week. Happy birthday, baby beast!

Never cease to inspire me. Take Danny Roberts, for example. The 23 year old illustrator from California makes me wish and hope and pray I could actually draw.
His blog is packed full of dreamy eye candy, but my favourite piece?
The Doe and Her Fawn, signed prints of which are available on his online store.
‘Tis vintage, this dress.
And I’m going to bet it’s from the ’60s.
And I’m also going to bet it was worn by a flight attendant (can’t you just imagine the matching hat?).
And also, that she flew to Rome a lot. Because it just seems like something she would do.
I knew quite a few people involved in the film – the co-director Phil Lyall, the animators at Sequence, the composer Adam Locke-Norton. And it was through the film that I felt like I got to know Eva Markvoort. Or at least, I got to know her battle with Cystic Fibrosis.
And it was very, very hard to watch.
It was hard to watch her drowning in her own mucus, it was hard to watch her surgeon pray before performing her double lung transplant, it was hard to watch her speak after the screening at VIFF.
I cannot even imagine how difficult it is for her.
Yet she remained such a bright and charismatic and positive person through the good, the bad and the painful. Which made it the most powerful film I’ve seen.
I’m just thankful I knew so many people involved (y’all did such a good job!) because I would have never had the fortitude to see it if I didn’t. Eva is a warrior. I am a wuss.
65_RedRoses airs on November 16th on CBC’s Passionate Eye (10pm Pacific). Watch it. If only because it will compel you to sign that donor registration card and change BC’s status as the province with the lowest number of organ donors in Canada.
UPDATE: 65_RedRoses won more awards than any other film at the VIFF Closing Gala awards presentation. Congratulations, mes amis! Well deserved.
I met up with Paul Melo of Style Quotient yesterday for a project he’s working on. I’ve been sworn to secrecy but because I’m the worst secret-keeper in history (seriously — ask me what I’m getting you for your birthday), I thought a little sneak peek wouldn’t hurt:
On my wrist are my pirate bracelet, my husband’s vintage Omega watch and two beaded necklaces that I bought (from the cutest kid) in Turkey.
As soon as the project’s unveiled, I’ll let you know.
No, not that Hermès, but the Swiss-made typewriter: the Hermes Baby.
I’ve never used it — in fact, I’m not even sure the ribbon has ink — but I find the idea of a typewriter so romantic.
The best novels, after all, were written on one.
I love these shirt dresses from the — what, early 80s? They’re so easy, breezy.
But really, it was the checkered texture of this one that sold me.
My boots? It was the colour that sold me.
And my scarf? It was its scarfiness that did it.
Finally (fiiiiiinally!) The September Issue has come to Vancouver. And I have fallen in love with it, but for very different reasons than I thought I would.
It wasn’t Anna Wintour who fascinated me, it was Grace Coddington, Vogue’s creative director. She is art, not fashion. And I love that.

whenever I look into my amber pendant. But for some reason it also seems like you might be able to see the future in it.
I love it (thank you, Bryce!). Come to think of it, I love anything natural — amber, amethyst, abalone — I think it’s the hippie in me.
