On the street....Main St. W.

This is Emily in Milli's store on Main St. W. where she works as a sales rep. I met her at the Pink Tartan Event last week. She is holding Ginger the shop dog. Believe it or not but Emily is wearing a black jumpsuit by Theory, one of my favourite brands. She also has on a black Milli's cardigan and vintage jewelry. Who knew a jumpsuit could look cool - what are your thoughts?

On the beach....A Tribute To My Grandmother

This is my Granny and Grandad. My Granny would be 102 years old today. I have
always looked up to my Mother and Aunt Brenda for their style - clearly this is where
they got their great sense of style from. How awesome is my grandmother's bathing suit?

On the street....Mains St. W.

Last night I attended the Pink Tartan event at Milli's on Main St. W. Kimberley Newport-Mimran, the President and Head Designer of Pink Tartan, was in attendance and looking fabulous. The pieces from the collection are youthful and can be worn for any occasion.
Guests at the event drank pink champagne and ate mini ruben sandwiches, lavender and rosemary shortbread cookies with goat cheese and caramelized onions, mini ahi tuna steaks on cucumbers, mini chana-masala chickpea pies, mini butter tarts - I can keep going but I'll stop at that.

Some pieces from the new collection - love that jacket!

Milli's famous store front window - even if you can't afford to go in - you can at least afford to gaze at the window displays.
Milli's is a great store for top designer names. Come check out Pink Tartan at Milli's today!
