FW 2016 Inspiration

08/25/16

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!!

Packing For Japan For Fall season

08/21/16

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

Welcome Fall

09/20/15

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!!

NYFW Spring 2016 Street Style Part Two

09/14/15

Part Two

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!

STREETS

07/26/15

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.

Let’s Talk About Men’s

06/19/15

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!!

New York Photo Diary

06/7/15

Hey! Sorry for my silence of the past week, a lot happened at work lately. I’ve been promoted to Ladies Buyer and it’s been pretty intense since then, I’m sure you understand! I just got back from New York and I took pictures especially to share them with you. I will present them to you as a diary, let’s start!!

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!!

35 Howard St

New York, NY 10013

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

560 Broadway

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

6 E 57th St

New York, NY 10022

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.

80 Spring St

New York, NY 10012

Oh and another must in Soho, is Dean and Deluca. It’s a gourmet food grocery and to-go place, Karim and I always stop there before leaving New York, it’s perfect for a picnic.

I hope you enjoyed my diary, and don’t be shy if you have any questions!! xx

On A Vacay Mood

05/24/15

I’m so in a vacay mood today, but unfortunately I’m not, but it’s Sunday and it’s sunny outside, so let’s just pretend!! This outfit will certainly be part of my luggage for my next trip. Layering is ideal for travelling, you can adapt during the day depending on the weather. I also love these Boston Birkenstock, ok, I have to agree that they’re really not for everyone. They’re chunky and not feminine, but comfortable, so who cares, I like them!

How beautiful is this park, (where we took the pictures) It’s near Atwater market and we go through it all the time when we do our jogging, but we never take the time to enjoy it. It’s lovely with all the different flowers and so relaxing with the signing of the birds. It’s one of the gem in my neighbourhood. Its name is also beautiful, Parc des Marchands-de-Bois, it’s on Rufus Rockhead, if you want to go take a look!

Jack Purcell

05/20/15

I’m not talking about the dog, I mean the shoe brand! Jack Purcell is the comfortable version of the classic Chuck Taylor from Converse. They are easy to recognize, wit their iconic black smile at the toe of the shoe!

It has been a while since I wore them, they are perfect to explore a city, and since I was in Quebec City last week-end visiting my family, I brought them in my luggage! They fit perfectly with my casual week-end outfit and they are confortable enough to walk with them all day long. Comfy + great look, perfect combination right?
