Weird Fun: Memoires.ae
Last week's New York Times Style magazine did a little feature on Dubai, which included the following innocuous reference: "3 pm. Explore the baroque kitsch at Memoires, a fashion and decor shop filled with hidden rooms. Wafi mall; memoires.ae." Well, you know I just had to surf on over there and all I can say is . . . jumping jehosaphat! I've never seen a site quite like it. Weird, creepy, fascinating, a virtual Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. No, they're not real Canadians, but they sure as heck are decorating. Don't miss the splash page!

After years of working as a freelance stylist in both print (H&H, Style at Home, Flare, Chatelaine) and television (CityLine, The Style Dept.), Arren knows plenty about how to dress up a room or a table or a bookshelf.

Monday, December 22, 2008
ApartmentTherapy, the mother of all home decor blogs, is running a readers poll through the first week of January and I'd sure love it if you placed a vote for styleNorth! Here's how it works; just visit this AT page and leave a comment nominating stylenorth.ca as best home decor blog. (You have to register to comment but it's painless and free.) A small Canadian blog like mine doesn't stand much of a chance against the really big guns but if AT readers see lots of nods they may be inspired to click through for some genuine Canadian content.
Foiled by a Spam Filter?
Friday, December 19, 2008
This morning I heard from styleNorth reader Kaye who wrote to say that although she attempted to register on the site, she never received a verification email.
