Camel

02/5/14

While most fashion bloggers are in New York right now for the Fashion Week, me, I’m home with a cold 🙁 Ok.. I should not complain since, in two weeks, I will be in Vegas for fashion trade-shows and then in Los Angeles for trends research, not bad right?!

What do you think of my Camel coat? An indispensable of this season if you are not ready for the pastel color version! Paired with a great indigo denim and nice pair of boot and you got an easy chic casual outfit!

Borrowed From The Boys

01/16/14

Yes, this is how I was feeling about myself, when I borrowed some ideas from the boys to get dressed this morning. It’s not necessarily men’s clothes, but sometimes just ideas that I get from them, or the way I wear my clothes. I mostly get inspired by old pictures of men at work from the 1920s, I can’t explain why, I just love the styles from this era.

On an other note, tomorrow is my last day at my current job, ayayay after ten years, it will be hard to say good-bye. I am an emotive person, and I cry for nothing so you can imagine how I will feel and look tomorrow in front of everyone haha!! I’m turning a page of my life, a beautiful chapter and I will keep in my heart all the memories that I collected over the years.

And because I want to finish this post on a happy note, you can laugh at this picture of me 😉

Under Construction

01/13/14

Not my blog, but it’s my neighborhood that is under construction, at least, the most part of it. Somedays it bothers me a little, but at the same time, I can understand why a lot of new people want to stay here. It is a really cool industrial neighborhood mixed with cool coffee shops, restaurants and nice little boutiques! These pictures are from yesterday, an easy and casual look and my color palette matches well with the weather hehe!! Happy Monday!

Icy Day

01/11/14

Since the weather like to play games with us here in Quebec, Montreal is surrounded by ice. After crazy cold, then rain and then crazy cold again, there’s nothing else to expect! Last Thursday the weather was not so bad, what I mean is that we had a not too cold minus 18 Cecilius! That kind of weather for us, is now considered okay hahaha! So, I could wear something else than my crazy warm Penfield jacket. I love it, but we have to face it, less fashionable!! I pulled out this old jacket wich I think will never get old, it’s a great classic. Every girl should have a great navy “nautical” look jacket in her wardrobe, it will never go out of style!

Bliss & Glory

01/5/14

Yep, this is my new favorite crew-neck Bliss & Glory! And the best part of it is, first I bought it with a gift card that I got for Christmas, and second is that I got it on sale!! Isn’t beautiful ;P So it’s Sunday and the last day of my vacation noooo!!!! It went so fast I could totally use one more week! In the meantime I know that tomorrow when I’ll be at work, I will be super happy to see my coworkers, especially that I’m leaving them in two weeks.

Yes this is the big decision that I had to take a couple weeks ago. I accepted a new job, after 10 year with Amnesia, I’m leaving for a new adventure. It was a really hard decision, I didn’t sleep for a month, but I’m happy with my decision, change is good! When you are too comfortable in your job, it means it’s maybe time to change, and this was my case. On that note, have a good evening and a good week xx

Shopping list

11/19/13

Workplace Christmas parties season is starting soon, mine is the eighth of December. I knew my outfit the second I saw the latest Saint Laurent Campaign. I will dress in a suit, it will be the first time that I will not wear a dress at our Christmas party, and I’m so happy with my choice!! Unfortunately it won’t be from Saint Laurent, but I already started looking for my suit online. Like always my first stop was Zara, I found practically everything that I was looking except for the suspenders wich I know H&M always have ones in the men’s department. I will go this week-end to look for my suit, what do you think of my outfit? Have you started yours?

This is my inspiration

Contact Crinkle

11/14/13

Acne Contact Crinkle

I’ve got some new Acne pants today, haha!! There is an awesome shop on my street called Stockmarket, it’s a small outlet where they sell brands that I love, like Acne, Filippa K, James Perse and more. Last week-end, they started their samples sale so I went there after work. I bought three pieces from James Perse wich I will show you later this week-end! The pants that I wore today, the Contact Crinkle are from the SS11 collection, a bit old, but still totally my style of clothes! I like the fact that you could where them relax, like I did today or more chic, with a nice blouse and heels.

I made a big decision in my life lately, and it has affected me a lot, emotionally I mean, that’s why you may have found my blog post less frequent this past couples of week. Don’t worry, nothing bad, the opposite actually, but it was a hard decision and I had to think about it seriously. I will tell you soon, but for now I started to feel better and I will be more focus on my blog 🙂 kisses Isabelle

Stripes

11/2/13

Happy Saturday! Here, in Montreal it is a rainy grey Saturday, and it’s been like that for a week now … But it’s okay because I’m leaving for New York this Wednesday night until Sunday so I can’t complain. My boyfriend will join me for the week-end, we are going to celebrate our 4th year together 🙂 Enough talking about me, let’s talk about what I’m wearing! I’ve got this cute striped skirt from H&M, I’ve been obsessed with stripes lately, I could not resist when I saw it! I’m also wearing my new pair of Nike, the Air Pegasus 83, they are super comfy and I like their colors, perfect for the cold season!

I hope you had fun at your Halloween party if you had one, I will show you my second costume pictures tomorrow xxx
