Not going offline indefinitely- I will be popping in and out of Insta (coz I can't really go cold turkey lol!). But the blog... Continue Reading →
The Thrifty Six Tropical Paradise!
Ahh the tropics and that hot, delicious sunny weather that all Northern girls crave…Le Sigh! Even if I can't get to a tropical island for a get-away, I can still get dressed up for that sunshiny vibe anyway! A girl can dream and play the part even in hot sticky Montreal. Here’s me with Jamaica... Continue Reading →
Fashionable Friday- Summer Joy and a Linkup Party
School is out - bring on the summer! How is it that this feeling of summertime rush and joy when school is out, just never gets old? I've had it since I was a little girl and every summer it always comes back. Maybe it's because I'm a teacher, so I keep reliving it lol!... Continue Reading →
Stylish Monday- We’re Going Coastal!
The Coastal Living look is one that comes back every summer. It’s a free and fresh look that brings to mind breezy sunny days by the beach, or the coastline, as the term suggests. Though, it need not be aspirational nor dreamy just because you don’t live by the water! Everyone can enjoy this look,... Continue Reading →
The Thrifty Six are Ballet Inspired
Today's theme for our collaboration is ballet based- how bittersweet! From a young age, you could say I was pretty much immersed in everything that's art; from painting, to crafting, to sewing, designing, diy's- and yes, ballet too. I was a ballerina for the longest time! I danced til the age of 20 and taught... Continue Reading →

The Thrifty Six Tickle Me Pink!
When in doubt, wear pink...and silk! This is true even where the weather is still kind of shifty, like here in Florida. Silk is the most versatile fabric: keeps you warm when your chilly (think of a silk scarf)- and cool in summer; have your pick! And when there's some pink in the mix of... Continue Reading →
The Thrifty Six in January Bright!
When I think bright- I think white! With a side of colourful David Bowie makes it even better! But today's star (sorry Bowie), is this vintage YSL foulard. Can blue and white be any crisper? I've inherited this scarf years ago (the 80's to be exact)...and all I did was wear it a few times.... Continue Reading →
