PUT AN OUTFIT TOGETHER IN 5 MINS

Obsessed with lace up tops & faux leather pants! Lace up tops just add so much visual interest to an outfit; they’re so fun and feminine, I just can’t get enough! And faux leather pants are so easy to pair with anything, and I think they make an outfit look richer, don’t you think? But this post is not about lace tops or faux leather pants, it’s about tips & tricks on how to put together an outfit in 5 minutes! Ready? Here we go: 1- Figure out the dress code: Depending on whether you are heading out to work, out…

CLASSIC BLACK

Black – there is a something ‘je ne sais quoi’ about this color isn’t there; it’s classic & timeless. I am loving the subtle polka dot print on this black chiffon dress with a faux fur vest. A black outfit however is not complete without a detail that stands out: be it a metallic accent, a colorful necklace or a bold lip! And how perfect is the piano backdrop? ;) I always wanted to play the piano, but never had a chance to learn. But then again, it’s never too late…! Happy Wednesday!!! Outfit details:  Dress: CALIFORNIA MOONRISE shimmer chiffon dress –…

V-DAY WITH LA VIE EN ROSE

The perfect V-day outfit: pink & floral. This floral kimono & pink nightie from La Vie en Rose’s Satin Collection are both feminine & elegant. I strongly believe that we need to let our inner beauty shine, but the only way to make that happen is by putting on clothes that reflect our personalities. There is power in clothes; they make us feel good, they make us feel beautiful & they give us confidence. We might not consciously know it, but we feel it, and that’s the most important thing in the world. And nothing makes a women feel amazing…

CAMEL & BURGUNDY

There is beauty in winter. Now, don’t get me wrong, I HATE winter! I don’t like to be cold, I don’t like the snow when it melts and becomes a big mess of slush that ruins my shoes, I don’t like that people think my car is grey in winter even though it’s pitch black, and I certainly don’t like to bundle up like I’m heading to Alaska. BUT, I must say, there is something magical when the white snow partially covers the ground & the trees. The city looks serene and peaceful and the temperatures are close to 0°C.…

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

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…

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…
