I don’t want to be that annoying person remembering you that summer is ending soon, but it’s the truth   Seriously I can’t complain, this summer has been incredible in Montreal, sunny every day and hot really hot!!

Fall is at our door, and it’s definitely my favourite fashion season. If you’ve been following my blog for the past years, you will find that I repeat myself haha, but it’s so the best season in term of layering pieces, you can wear coat, boots, sweater, tight, so much more possibility no?

These photos represent a big picture of what inspired me for this fall season. 90’s skateboard look, embroidery, my usual oversized gaucho pants, loose trouser and sneaker!! In term of colours, a mix of neutral earth tone and bright orange. Yes I have to say, fashion makes me look forward to the fall!!

The post FW 2016 Inspiration appeared first on Trends Setters.

I’m leaving perhaps only in 41 days for Japan, (yes I count the days) but I already know what will be part of my luggage (at least most of it). Minimalist outfit, based on good classic silhouette, good fabric and tonal colours. Since we go there at the beginning of fall, the day should be around 24 degrees, but at night a good leather jacket or a comfy sweater might be required.

In terms of shoes, of course, my all-time favorite will be part of the trip, the best comfortable shoes ever, my Adidas Stella McCartney ultra boost. I might also bring one practical dress that can be worn casually during the day and more sophisticated at night for a fancy dinner date with my love.

I am super excited for his trip, I planned it with a new app that I discovered this year, Sygic Travel. A really helpful app, where you can add place you want to visit on a map, and you can plan your trip by day. For example,  in Tokyo it is recommended planning your trip one day per neighborhood since there is so much to see in each of them Sygic travel was the best to help me plan my day and make sure, I am not missing anything. Of course this is a guideline, and we might at the end discover something else on the route and that is perfect, it’s just help plan in general our week in Tokyo.

Finally, I just got back from Vegas/LA and I’m leaving next week for London/Milan, I’m super excited, a lot of traveling lately. Stay tuned on my Instagram for update xx

The post Packing For Japan For Fall season appeared first on Trends Setters.

My guide is divided in three sections, ToDo&See, ToEat and ToSleep or & ToShop. The first one is about my favorite places and activities to do in Barcelona. The second is for course about Food!!! And the last one is either the best neighborhood to stay or Airbnb/Hotel recommendation. Let’s start!

ToDo&See

CASA BATLLÓ 43 PASSEIG DE GRÀCIA, BARCELONA, SPAIN

Gaudi art house. This is the first stop we did in Barcelona, and the first Gaudi genius creation we have seen. You can pay to visit the interior, we didn’t, but if you do I recommend buying your ticket in advance here for 27,50 euro.

LAS RAMBLAS 1 PL. DE CATALUNYA 17-S, BARCELONA, SPAIN 

***Tips: don’t shop or eat in the stores and restaurants along this street. Tourist trap is an understatement for this area

Located in the center of town, this street makes it an ideal place to start your visit to Barcelona!

BARCELONETA BEACH

Next stop, Barceloneta Beach. Isn’t like the best to have a clean and beautiful beach in central city?? For us it was, we spend an afternoon there, relaxing our feet after all the walking we did in Barcelona (so much so see and do!!). It was my first swim in the Mediterranean sea and it was memorable. Crystal blue water, we even saw tropical fish, clear sand and there’s different part of the beach depending of what you want. Family more relax area, or music and kind of party area. We selected the family area It’s free and seriously so good for the soul!

SAGRADA FAMILIA CARRER DE MALLORCA, 401, 08013 BARCELONA, SPAIN

Of course, you can’t visit Barcelona, without a stop at la Sagrada Família, one of the most incredible architectural creation imagined by genius Gaudi. The construction started in March 1882, and yet today it’s still not done. The estimated date of the end of the creation is 2020, and we will be back. While exploring the inside, I couldn’t imagine how he could see all this in his mind, he was truly a Genius. So much details, so many perfections, we have to go, and pay to see the interior. Again, I recommended to book your ticket online in advance here definitely worth the price. A part of the money ticket is for the construction.

PARK GÜELL CARRER D’OLOT

Admission 14 Euro here, make sure to take the access to the Monumental Zone, it’s worth it!! We took a bus to get there from the city, the best way to go in my opinion, a 39 min ride. The Park is so beautiful, again I was in shocked by all the details and he’s genius. My only regret is that we got there too late, (end of afternoon) and the last access to the Monumental Zone was at 19h30 and that’s the one we got. We didn’t had enough time to explore the rest of the Park, we could have stayed there an entire afternoon. One of my favorite part of the city. Admission 14 Euro here,

MACBA & DESIGN MUSEUM MUSEU DEL DISSENY PLAÇA DELS ÀNGELS, 1, 08001 BARCELONA, ESPAGNE / PL. DE LES GLÒRIES CATALANES

Museum, thereù,s plenty of good one in Barcelona, we went to two of them, MACBA, the Museum for Art Contemporary Barcelona & Design Museum Museu del Disseny de Barcelona, we really enjoyed both of them. ***Tips: You can by an  Articket; Visit 6 majors art centres in Barcelona for €30 www.articketbcn.org/en/. It’s really worth it if you enjoy visiting museum while you travel. MACBA is bigger than the Design Museum, so plan more time for the first one. When you visit the second one, make sure to make a stop at the Market del Encants an architectural curiosity, and you never know, you might find a treasure There’s also a really cool spot outside of Design Museum where you can take a sunbath and admire Torre Agbar.

There’s so many good places to see and visited in Barcelona, I could continue even more. I want to share one last thing, that is free and that require only your feet, it’s to explore the city at night. There’s something with the old building and the light, that make the city so beautiful at night and so special, believe me, it’s going to be you favorite activity.

I hope you will enjoy your trip to Barcelona, of course there is so many other place to see and stuff to do, I gave only my top, If you want more info or idea, please feel free to send me an email.

In two days, it will be the autumnal equinox falls, first day of fall. Summer passed so fast, like always. Good new is that fall is my favorite season, and it’s the best season for Fashion. It’s the layerings season, when you can wear your favorite dress with a pair of boots, pull out of your wardrobe your most comfortable scarf and your sweetest sweater. The fresh air, and colors are just so beautiful! Can you tell I love this season haha!

I’m finally leaving for my euro-trip this Thursday, two weeks vacation with my love, it will do so much good! Barcelona-Marrakesh-Essaouira and Lisbon, if you have suggestions of what to do, what to eat and where to shop, please leave me a comment!!

Mid September already, time has passed so quickly lately! I traveled a lot for work the last weeks, Vegas, Los Angeles, London and Milan and I have lots of photos to show you, but first NYFW!

Here’s part two of the best street style from day one to three. After reviewing the shapes of the season yesterday, now let’s review the colors. Rust, navy and Khaki are mainly presents with the 1970s come back. Neutral colors such as nude, camel and white are also a huge part of the new season trends, but the color we can’t get over, it’s blue denim. It’s literally everywhere!!!!!

See you for part three!

You might have thought that I had abandoned my blog, no I didn’t, but I think I needed a break. It’s summer, I’m really busy at work, and I wanted to spend less time on my computer. But I’m still here and I don’t have the intention of abandoning this.

So let’s restart fresh, it’s the end of July,  but still, and this month represent summer. Lightweight outfits, refreshing colors and fabrics, and this is where I focused to find my monthly streets styles inspiration. Also,  I have to confess that I’m obsessed by my vacation plans this September, and I’ve been trying to spot great travel outfit lately.

What do you think of those? I hope they inspire you.

Not bad for the eyes right? I love men’s styles, as fun as it is to buy for ladies, I enjoyed a lot the time I was buying for men’s. I also got inspired a lot from the menswear and not only lately, I always have been. The men’s shows started a couples of days ago, so I pulled out for you my favourites streets shots that I found on the web. Of course Eugene’s on some of them, he’s my all time best!!

The first day we did our usual stores visits, to get inspiration and see what is happening on the East Coast. Most of the pictures have been taken in Soho where our hotel was located.

Saturdays Surf NYC, I love that cute little surf shop, it’s quit unusual to pass by a surf shop in NYC, and that makes it even more special and unique. Only for their coffee, it’s worth the trip

31 Crosby Street
New York, NY 10013

A must in NYC, Opening Ceremony, the classic stairs pictures!!

MM6, beautiful shop, Maison Martin Margiela is one of my favourite designers, I had to drop by!

91 Grand St
New York, NY,

Converse shop

Nike Town, with his four or five floors, it is pretty impressive.

Here are some inspiring stuff from the streets of New York

Now, let’s talk about food, one of my favorite things to do in New York is to try new restaurants. I have a list on my phone and every time I go, I try a new place. This time our Vice President was kind enough to let me use my list !! We tried two of them, first of, Miss Lily. OMG I was so happy to try it, too good and the atmosphere is really fun. You really must try the corn !!

132 W Houston St
New York, NY,

Then we tried Two Hands  for lunch, if you are looking for a healthy place to start your day, this is the place to go. I’ve tried the Avo Toast with a side of chorizo and a cold press juice, Beet, Ginger, Carrot and pineapple, it was perfect!!

For breakfast, my GMM brought me to Balthazar Bakery, it’s a traditional French bistro,  on spring street.
