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…

MOVE WITH ARDENE

Healthy eating & working out – whatever it takes to fit into my wedding dress! In addition to that, two other things motivate me to workout: 1- Not fitting into my clothes (terrifying) & 2- new workout gear (exciting)! So, last week, wearing the new MOVE collection at Ardene, I hit the weights in full swing & I already lost 2 lbs! :) This collection is all about comfort; the t-shirt, leggings & bra are stretchy & easy to move in. The color blocking, vibrant hues, criss-cross backs & comfy sneakers are all the range right now & nothing looks…

WINTER WONDERLAND + SALE

WINTER WONDERLAND + SALE

Snow is magical, even if winter is not. Last night, coming out of the grocery store, we were surprised by large snowflakes falling down on the parking lot and I was in awe at how beautiful it looked. It made me forget the struggles of winter – there really is beauty in everything :) It was snowing this weekend as well, and the amazing thing about snow is that it occurs during mild temperatures, so it’s actually really pleasant to be outside (for once…). So, taking full advantage of the scenery, we shot my favorite lookbook so far :) This fabulous…

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.…
