I HAVE A THING FOR STRIPES

Horizontal or vertical, black, white, red or blue, thick or thin, I have a stripe obsession! To others, they all look the same, to me they’re all special & different! And once again, Ronny Kobo simply understands me! This black dress with white stripes is perfection! It hits the body in all the right places & the horizontal lines elongate the body. Not to mention how comfortable it is to move around with or to stuff yourself with Christmas dinner without feeling uncomfortable (lol). Perfect dress to wear to an office party or a dinner! And of course, the stripe…

WEDDING PLANNING

I am not one of those girls who has been dreaming of her wedding day since she’s 5 years old. It’s the pure, honest truth! I grew up watching my mom raise 2 daughters by herself and for a long time I didn’t believe in marriage. A little grim you might think? Not at all! The experience thought me how to be independent, hard working & perseverant. It also thought me good judgment! And so I met my bf. A sweet, caring & thoughtful man who was kind and honest & who seemed to love me more than words can describe.…

GEM HAUL

My tastes change all the time. I seriously clean my closet at least 5 times a year, selling or donating clothes, shoes & jewelry! Come to think of it, I’m due for another round but I’ll wait until the new year to do it (partly b/c I’m lazy and partly b/c of the lack of time, lol)! Accessories play a big part in expressing your person style. A necklace can change an entire outfit, depending whether you go bold or delicate! An earring can add class or glam depending on weather its a pearl or a statement earring. A stack…

JOUVIANCE HOLIDAY MAKEUP

It’s a rare occasion that I leave the house without makeup. Some may call me high maintenance, but I call it a self confidence booster! There is nothing better than nice clothes and good makeup to make a women feel like she can conquer the world! And the holidays are no exception, in fact, this is the time to go bold. I love a red lip for the holidays and no night time look is complete without a smokey eye. This holiday season, it’s my 1st time trying out the Jouviance brand. What I love about the company is that…

SACHIKA

What a discovery! Sometimes the best hidden gems in Montreal are truly hidden! A few weeks ago I was invited to celebrate Sachika‘s 1st year anniversary & it was my 1st time at this store (I guess that were two 1st-s for me, lol). This boutique, located on the upper side of St-Laurent street, carries beautiful & affordable clothing from L.A. And when I say affordable, I mean it! You can get a stunning dress for $50 or this grey cardi for $69! I fell in love with the selection as well as with the setup of the store. I…
