ABOUT

Suzanne Carillo Blogger

 Hi! I’m Suzanne Carillo, a 50+ struggling artist/designer, vintage loving, clothes-obsessed, fashion freak, pug cuddler that lives for a perfectly made extra dry, three olive Kettle One martini and hilarious true life stories.

Welcome! Welcome!

Can I have my husband mix you a martini? (he makes the BEST martinis!)

My husband mixes the best martinis

 Or how about a pig to warm your feet?

I like to make sure my guests are comfy.

This is my little spot on the internet where I get to share anything and everything.

For example… I don’t believe you’re ever too old to play dress-up.

You're never too old to play dress-up.

 My husband shares my penchant for dressing up and we can sometimes be found dressing entirely in vintage and heading out for an evening of swing dancing.

1940's vintage style for men and women

 Another thing I believe? You can never own too many boots/shoes.

my shoes organized

 Pugs are the warmest softest most wonderful companions even though they shed their weight in dog fur daily.

 I refuse to let my age dictate just about anything in my life, including zip lining and tree hugging.

Zip lining in southern Ontario.

 So I hope you’ll stick around and we’ll become friends. I don’t make many promises, but I can promise you this… it won’t be boring.

Hi! I’m Suzanne

We went to a Christmas market in Elora last week, We went to a Christmas market in Elora last week, a small town about an hour outside of Toronto. ⁣
⁣
We enjoyed the lights, festive decor and music. It was great to get out of the city to the country, a mini vacation. ⁣
⁣
I also scored what may well be my favourite, super rare, piece of the year at a little vintage store called Kampina which I highly recommend. You never know where you're going to find that special vintage treasure. ⁣

Waiting for the best version.⁣ ⁣ It feels like Waiting for the best version.⁣
⁣
It feels like my wardrobe collection is in constant flux. I'm always seeking out the *best* version of items I have been looking for or already own. ⁣
⁣
This sheep sweater is similar to the one Princess Diana wore. Authentic versions of this go for $300 but I kind of love this version in wool. ⁣
⁣
Will I upgrade should I come across an authentic version while thrifting? Probably. I can always sell it if it isn't the right fit or colour for me. That is one of the bonuses of my job. A revolving closet. ⁣
⁣
Are you always upgrading your pieces to the vest best version possible?
