Fashion news
Whether this is simply a matter of coincidence, or a sign of the economic times there has been a rise in fashion related news. In the hopes of spreading classic fashion cheer I thought I'd share some of the recent ongoings.
A Suitable Wardrobe, one of the blogs I regularly follow, is dedicated to men's classic fashion and has featured a number of interesting posts lately. I found the post on black enlightening as I often wear black simply because it's such a "safe, professionally acceptable" colour. While you're there, check out the rest of the blog. Yes, I realize it is directed towards men, but I firmly believe that women also have a responsibility to uphold classic fashion. (If you happen to know of a good women's classic fashion blog, send it my way).
Since we're discussing fashion, read through this short article about Tom Ford that appeared in the National Post. The article is more of a general read than fashion advice, but there are a few good suggestions.

I am....
Indignant.
Furious.
Disgusted.
Unstable coalition is a powderkeg under Canada
I have never been so inexplicably unimpressed with the opposition party leaders.
In the words of Queen Victoria:

"We, are not, amused."

A few hours have passed since writing the above post. I've had a chance to calm down - though only slightly. I am in no way trying to claim Mr. Harper is perfect, nor am I insinuating that if the tables were turned and the Conservatives were part of this coup d'état I'd be encouraging these shenanigans. No.
What frustrates me is the utter lack of respect and complete disregard that the opposition party leaders show for Canadians. Yes, there was an election in October. Yes, a party was elected to govern. No, it was not the Liberals, NDP, Bloc Québécois or Green Party. It was the Conservatives. Now, I realize that people interpret situations differently but if you are leading a political party that does not get elected to govern, could it be possible that Canadians don't want you governing the country? Just a thought.
Yes, the Conservatives have made the mistakes. Yes, the country needs to tread carefully during this economic downturn. Yes, the government still needs to function. Would you all just quit your whining and get on with it? Canadians need a government that can look out for the best interests of Canadians. Is a coalition government run by three parties with differing views going to be successful at getting work done? Hmm. Well. Let me think about that. Judging from the partisan behaviour these parties have displayed in the past? A coalition government run by the Liberals, Bloc Québécois and NDP sounds more like a three ring circus than a successful government. Oh wait a second...newsflash: you weren't elected to govern. This coalition government is in reality a bloodless coup d'état that is not only squandering Canadian taxpayers' money but also wasting precious time before Parliament is let out for Christmas.
Like I said before:
