Get a hot holiday dress at Forest Hill's Kitsch

Whether you’re looking for a dress with a load of frills or a versatile staple, Kitsch is a must see on your hunt for the perfect holiday dress!

I was especially impressed by the colour options available at Kitsch.

It's done in a fine black wool coating with silver zipper details.

Macy's north? What's old becomes new again

As you know from my previous blogs, I could spend hours in a boutique like Ewanika or Lilliput Hats, trying on an original silk shirtdress or a funky new fedora.
