THE CULOTTES

The infamous culottes – they have been daunting me all of last year! I tried on countless of them and finally gave up, thinking this trend was simply not for me. I have curvy hips and concluded that culottes were made for super thin women with straight hips; forever being envied by my eyes. It seems like I sent the universe a sign to make a pair just for me; oddly enough it listened. I found these khaki culottes at Dynamite and decided to give them one final chance before abandoning the thought of them in the dust forever. As soon…

BUSINESS CASUAL

Business trips call for business casual attire. Well, unless you are travelling to meet clients, which might be a different story depending on your job. But, if you’re travelling for a conference, business casual is the way to go. The easiest way to pull it off is to wear a blazer – it gives you this look that means business but the rest of the outfit says comfort. Last week, I flew to Orlando, Florida for a conference with my job and this is one of the outfits I wore. I gotta admit something, wearing heels to a conference is…

FROM GYM TO WEEKEND ERRANDS

Under $100; no luggage required! It all starts with the right bag to transition from the gym to weekend errands. This light pink Rampage backpack from Giant Tiger is the perfect one (and on sale for $23). Throw in a towel as well as a floral romper & a pair of sandals to change from your workout clothes and you’re good to go. You don’t need to carry around your entire closet during the Summer if you need to run some errands or go for brunch right after gym. Ah the beauty of not having to carry a coat! And clothes don’t…

CASUAL CHIC-NESS

Closet must: comfy heels. I don’t know about you, but I hate heels. Ok that’s not fair, I do love how they look, I just hate how they feel – after a few minutes, my feet are literally in distress. They hurt me so much that I can’t have fun anymore and all I can think about is sitting down. So, I wear my heels only when I know I will be sitting for most of the evening, otherwise I go for flats. It’s quite hard to find a pair of heels that are comfy, but when you do, hold…

POST WORKOUT

Comfort is everything, especially post workout! After spending an hour lifting weights & speed walking on the treadmill, there is nothing better than slipping into clothes & shoes that breathe and keep you warm! This Point Zero jacket has a fun sporty look that’s trendy, ultra light & warm; simply perfect for Spring weather when you get out of the gym after a sweat and it’s still cold outside (which, lets face it perfectly describes Montreal’s Spring, doesn’t it?) I paired it with this Point Zero dry edition tank top thats sleek & soft and keeps you dry, even after a workout.…

MLLE FRIVOLE

Giving clothes a second life never looked so good! I honestly never checked out a thrift store before, but I saw people find amazing vintage pieces and I’ve been meaning to check it out myself but never seemed to have the time to look one up! Then by chance I met Gabrielle, one of the owners of Mlle Frivole, a thrift shop that offers vintage & modern clothes that fit any style! And so, together with Laurence, these two sweet girls introduced me to the world of thrift stores and I gotta say, you can find amazing pieces for a fraction of the…

ACCESSORIES MAKE THE OUTFIT!

Style & comfort should go hand in hand! And nothing’s more comfortable than sneakers!  This summer, everything goes; pastels, bright colors, lace, denim, stripes, nautical, romantic, floral…wtv you fancy, so have fun with it! Pastels have always been my fave, especially for Spring and so I’m just drooling over these new mint green Vans Sk8-hi kicks! If mint green is not your thing, the brand introduced 50 (yes, you read it correctly FIFTHY) colors & vibrant prints for Spring to celebrate their 50th anniversary – woot woot!!! So, you can choose whichever one best expresses your personal style!  Super comfortable,…
