CASUAL WEAR

It’s been a while since Working Gents has made an appearance, so this post is way overdue! With the constantly changing temperatures of -35°C one day and 0°C the next, you really need a variety of coats to live in Montreal! This Zara puffer coat is perfect for those 0°C temperatures. It’s warm enough to not sweat in, but don’t wear it on the days that hit below zero or, well, you’ll freeze (lol). Anyways, on the weekends, the working gents tend to stay casual, so throw this coat on top of a pair of jeans & a lightweight sweater.…

MAXI SWEATERDRESS

MAXI SWEATERDRESS

It’s true what they say, life is too short to wear boring clothes! Dare to wear – I always tell myself, and so I discovered that I’m a lot more of a boho chic than I thought. As working chix, we spend a lot of time in formal wear, but on the weekend, we get to put on whatever we want, so why not go for something a little more daring? Like this stunning CALIFORNIA MOONRISE maxi sweater dress! It’s simple and minimalist yet the touch of lace at bottom give it style & flare. This dress is soft & comfortable, and…

ALISIA ENCO

ALISIA ENCO

ALISIA ENCO simply understands fashionable working women! I spent a couple of years in an corporate office setting and anyone who crossed my path would tell you that I pushed the envelop when it came to workwear. I would dress professionally of course, but professional does not mean a squared, oversized brown suit ladies! All you need is the appropriate length, the right fit & structure and some guts to try out new things. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am not saying you should wear a fuchsia top to the office tomorrow! I am simply saying, dare to try…

JOOLZ BAR BIJOUX

I am a huge fan of the series “Sex in the City” and of course I fell head over heels for Carrie’s gold name plate necklace. Ever since then, I really wanted one, but then the trend passed and I forgot about it, but not quite….recently, with the reemergence of the trend, I wanted one more than ever. “Ask and you shall receive” – I’m a huge believer in the power of thinking positively and surely enough Joolz Bar Bijoux asked me to be a brand ambassador and joint the #Joolista club! Needless to say, I was ecstatic and a few…

HAPPENING GOURMAND

HAPPENING GOURMAND

Happening Gourmand – the name says it all: food, food & more delicious food! I had no problem in temporarily ditching my diet last week to attend this media event, where we got a glimpse of some of the amazing dishes that are part of the reduced price lunch & dinner menus offered by 7 restaurants in Old Port from January 7th – February 7th (777 – is this a lucky number or what?) The participating restaurants are: Bevo bar & pizzeria, Modavie, Méchant Boeuf, Suite 701, Taverne Gaspar, Verses Restaurant, Vieux-Port Steakhouse & Kyo bar japonais. Some of these restaurants…

ACTIVEWEAR

It’s not easy to just snap into the ‘new you’ once the clock rings in midnight! It’s a nice thought, but it’s easier said than done. It’s been 10 days after the New Year and I did not start eating well or exercising regularly…yet! Today marks the 1st day of that resolution, and it’s ok that it’s about 2 weeks late. There are two great motivators to help you begin: 1 – not fitting into some of your clothes (guilty) & 2- brand new workout clothes! So, having trouble zipping up my favorite jeans reinforced this resolution. Equipped in all the…

STRUCTURE

STRUCTURE

Straight lines, fit & minimalist simplicity – key ingredients to making you look like a million bucks! This simple black pencil skirt & green top, polished off with a beautiful belted wool jacket transpire sophistication! Honestly, it doesn’t take all that much to pull yourself together, so for those who have been procrastinating, this is the time to  revamp your closet! Toss away those baggy sweats and embrace clean cut clothes that will surely turn heads. Invest in some quality clothes this year; quality reigns over quantity! I have recently understood that myself. Being a fashion blogger, I have been…
