Max Out Yo Credit Card - Balmain Jacket

It's gonna be another marathon night at Toronto City Hall. The Executive Committee are debating the budget, and they have decided to meet all night in order to hear all of the 300 deputants that have asked to speak about the budget. I know that politics is tedious, dahling, but I have to go and say my piece so that the city doesn't sell the zoo, or privatize all the services, or close down any daycare centres, or libraries...

So, yeah, if I'm telling the gov'ment what's what at 3 in the morning, I've got to look like I mean business, while still being as comfy as possible. Time for a fancy jumpsuit!!!

Now for a blazer that says, "Raise my taxes and that deficit will be gone in no time"...

Wedges will be comfy enough to wear all night, but still look amazing when I'm on tv yelling at the mayor.

Max Out Yo Credit Card - Miu Miu Dress

That's right...it's TIFF time! Famous people come to Toronto for 3 days and we all go crazy! Will I see movies? Maybe? Will I be attending fancy parties in even fancier outfits? Hellz yeah. Tell Madonna I'll try to squeeze in her dinner thing in between parties. Kisses!

Got to make sure that I look good from all angles...with those blasted paparazzi all about...

It may rain...it may snow (it is Canada after all)...so boots are always a good call. 

The purse only needs to fit my Chanel Rouge Coco Shine and my cell. Drinks are on the studios! Cheers, fellas! Happy TIFF!

Hey there, honey! So sorry to hear about your recent legal troubles. Stay strong. Hope you have a great lawyer! Don't you worry, my lovely, I'll be sitting behind you in court lending my support. Here's what I'll be wearing, since you likely will be a little too distracted to notice:

 A Cardi-Coat to keep warm in that old drafty courtroom

A body-skimming but still demure dress. No Lindsay Lohan courtroom fashion antics from this lady!

Throw in some heels that mean business...

...and a bag large enough to hide a file in. I got your back, boo! Not that I think you're guilty or anything...

Max Out Yo Credit Card - McQueen Cape

Do you ever get the urge to do something bad? I totally do, at least once every few months. I'm not talking about doing something bad bad, like cheating on your partner or stealing or anything like that. I mean doing something a teensy bit bad, like smoking one cigarette or eating a container of ice cream for dinner. My current bad deed, in this scorching heat, is turn the air conditioner up really high for a couple of hours so that I can hang out in my new fall wardrobe. Terrible for the environment, I know. Sorry, sorry!

Gaaaaaah! It's hot outside! I love the heat, and I've been lucky enough to go swimming in an awesome pool the past few days. Still, it's hard to find the energy to pick out clothes, hey? Guess I'll just have to throw on a little dress or something...

Max Out Yo Credit Card - Derek Rose Robe

Well hellooooooooooo...

Long time no see! I'm back from my trip to Ireland, but have been laying fairly low...taking a vacation from my vacation if you will. Isn't it always the case that, when you have a great time on a trip overseas, you end up looking like shit when you get home? Bags under eyes, acne flare-ups, weight gain...the sure signs of too much vacation fun. I'm keeping a low profile for a couple more days until I'm back to looking more like myself again.

At least I have some pretty fantastic lounging clothes! For example...

Holy crap! There is so much construction going on in Toronto right now! I'm being hypnotized by all these orange and black pylons. Well, if I'm gonna be sitting in traffic for most of the summer, I better look damn fine doing it.

What up? How have you been? I've been busy directing the gardner on what to do with my fancy garden. This year he is to grow only gold or red flowers. It's tiring being outdoors...at least I am dressed well.

Max Out Yo Credit Card - Election Day Edition

Hey fellas! Did you vote yet today? If you live in Canada I hope that you will today. Can't whine about the government as we all like to do unless you exercise your democratic right to vote. I'm heading out to the polls in a couple of hours, after I clean all of the mess off the 'lil peanut and get him to take a nap. He is currently covered in oatmeal, banana, water and rice puff cereal. He looks more like a 'lil dirty hobo than a peanut. He likes baths, so lucky buddy gets two today.

So, if you've read this blog before, you'll recognize that it is pretty light and I don't weigh in on political controversies and such. This is on purpose. I have lots of opinions about politics and news, but there are many more eloquent folks than myself expressing such views on a variety of blogs. There are also many yahoos who write stuff I think is garbage, and I would be sad if the consensus was that my political writings were in that vein. I think I'll stick with fashion and fun.

As I said above, I have lots of opinions on this Federal election, but I'll keep them to myself for the purposes of this blog. Please, please, please vote today. Your one vote could make a big difference...especially if you're in a riding that is going to be a horse race like mine.

So here's what I'll be wearing to go and vote today. No political endorsement intended (wink, wink).

Oh...you'll probably notice that none of the pieces above are Hermes, despite that brand identifying so strongly with the colour orange. This is on purpose also. I despise that snooty brand for a number of reasons. They dissed Oprah! Boooooo!!

Max Out Yo Credit Card - Jenni Kayne Shoes

My 'lil peanut enjoys listening to the song Goin' To The Zoo, so I'm thinking I should probably take him to the actual zoo sometime soon. No mom jeans or fanny packs for this lady! Here is what I shall wear on our zoo adventure:

There's a zoomobile, right? Animals totally prefer seeing hot heels instead of some lame runners. I will still stick to jeans and a tee like the other moms. I'm just going to make sure they are mega-cute!

Gotta bring a big bag full of snacks with us!

Alright...now if I can only convince Raffi to come with us and sing to the 'lil peanut all day...
