Girl About O-Town

Here are a few interesting tidbits from Ottawa area bloggers over the last little while…

Fellow interior design junkie Decorate it Darling has been busy nesting in a new apartment.  Read as she shares her ups and downs, including an unfortunate incident with spray paint. 

David Reevely of Greater Ottawa dishes out some scoop about a highly anticipated restaurant opening here.  It seems favourite local celebrity/chef Stephen Beckta is planning to open a second hot spot next January, in the heart of the Byward Market.  Stay tuned!

Cheap Eats Ottawa provided their regular list of LCBO Vintages values last Friday, this time with the following rather unusual warning…

 ”NB – We generally do not recommend that you NOT purchase a product on release – but this time we are compelled to do so. DO NOT BUY Megalomaniac Pink Slip Rose fr. Ontario. The bottle sports a very compelling label and the name is catchy, fun & enticing. The wine is absolutely vile – this product was produced by marketers not winemakers.”

Ottawa Street Style posted this Sunday, clearly indicating there are signs of style out there in this capital city.  Bravo!  

Tracizzle of the very sassy Youth League and the Spies just recently returned from a jaunt to New York City, which she recounts over several posts.  Saturday, she shared pictures of her shopping haul, reserving privacy where the price of her beautiful new Dolce & Gabbana bag is concerned.  Personally, I think she really scored with this vintage dress, for a mere $60.  No doubt she will style it well for both summer and winter wear.
