My absence from the this little space on the internet comes with a fabulous reason. This past weekend I travelled down to California where, along with my sister and brother-in-law, surprised my sister-in-law in Disneyland for her 30th birthday. I love surprises, and getting to surprise one of my favourite people made it even more special. The icing on the cake was missing the snowfall that happened back home in Calgary. Seriously, spring can come anytime now, I’d like to eventually trade in my snow shovel for a lawn mower.
For updates on what’s going on when I’m not posting here on the blog follow along and like Centre Street’s Facebook page and Instagram.
Tweed

As a gal who pays extra attention to fabrics any time I’m purchasing an article of clothing (I do have a degree in textiles you know), often times I forget how various fabrics can play out in a certain design. I would usually never consider a tweed dress for spring, but the pattern and colours on this little number won me over. My closet is filled with little silk numbers that carry me through the summer months, so it’s a nice change to go with something a little more structured instead. Sometimes all we need is a little change in our routine.
Suit Up
T by Alexander Wang Pants (different color), T by Alexander Wang Blazer, Aritzia Lace Top, Christian Louboutin Pumps, Saint Laurent Handbag (different color), Anzie Necklace, Tiffany Necklace, Chanel Watch, Charriol Bracelet
I’ve never been much of a suit kinda girl. When the time comes for cleaning up I’ve always leaned more towards a feminine dress or a sharp skirt/blouse combination. Lately however, something has changed. First there was my Oscar Party-suit moment, and then I fell hard for this little blush number that serves business purposes while maintaining my feminine wit. Truly, what more could one possibly ask for from her ensemble?
Jumpsuit Joy
Vince Jumpsuit (also here), Charlotte Olympia Sandals, Chanel Handbag, Lisbeth Necklace, Michael Kors Watch, Stella + Dot Bracelet, Tiffany Earrings
Have you ever noticed that there’s certain articles of clothing reserved for children, that if and when given an adult upgrade would be in regular rotation in your closet? I often see little ones running around in the cutest rompers, thinking, ‘why doesn’t that come in my size?’. So you can only imagine my delight in the fact that adult friendly jumpsuits are everywhere this spring. I picked this one up while in Los Angeles a few weeks back, and finally had a chance to pull it out the other day. I can’t even explain my delight in wearing it, and because of it’s neutral colour, there’s so many different ways of dressing it up, or down.
Pretty Purple Pumps
Rebecca Taylor Blouse (similar here), Rag & Bone Denim, Manolo Blahnik Pumps (slightly different color), Chanel Handbag, Hermes Watch, David Yurman Bracelet, Stella + Dot Bracelet, Tiffany Necklaces
As clichéd as it may sound, every time spring rolls around I fall in some serious love with the pretty pastels. It’s literally a physical reaction to the prettiness that exudes from the pieces, and these pastel purple pumps were no exception. I love that I can match them to the florals in my closet, but can also make them pop when paired with an all white or black ensemble. I guarantee that you’ll be seeing more pastels here on the blog as the weather starts warming up. I’m sorry, it can’t be helped.
