Clearly, I love shopping. However, Darling Husband would prefer if my shopping habits didn’t mimic that of the Saudi Princess that a recent Vanity Fair article highlighted. While I would never try running out on a multi-million dollar hotel tab, I do love a good shopping spree. Thankfully, it’s sample sale season here in Montreal and I’ll be able to get in some marathon shopping at a Darling Husband tolerated price point thanks to these amazing sales. I visited the Show & Tell showroom last week to get a look at their line’s amazing F/W15 collections and I also got a little glimpse of all of the goodies that will be included in their sample sale on May…
GAP Boyfriend Jeans and My Grandmother’s Cashmere Coat
These photos are full of a lot of my favorite pieces. Kitschy cool sunglasses from Polette, leopard pumps from Charlotte Olympia, the perfect pair of boyfriend jeans from GAP, and this extra special cashmere coat that once belonged to my grandmother. This coat is the perfect example of how investing in a quality piece can be for the long term. While the coat is almost as old as I, it looks perfectly on trend and would be quite expensive to purchase new. Instead, I love that I still get to continue to wear and enjoy a piece my grandmother…
Navy and Leopard
Much like the color combination of black and white, I have a deep and abiding love for mixing navy and leopard print. I find that this combination is a wonderful way of taking an otherwise seemingly over-the-top print in a more refined direction…
Darling Dress
Look three with my braided up-do and I’d say still going strong. When Kim, one half of the dynamic duo behind BLOME, created this style for me she did it totally on the fly. I love how creative she was when approaching creating a style that would work for a full day of shooting five distinct looks. This look is clearly more dressed up then my prior two and yet my hair looks perfect for a night out or a cocktail attire social event. Now that the weather is finally breaking here in Montreal, the social…
Green Givenchy
Remember when you were young and desperate for your parents to buy you that cool shiny new toy? You gave impassioned speeches declaring that you would positively die if you didn’t get it. You leveraged promises of good behavior and chores done without complain as you hoped and prayed that toy into your possession. You might have even hopped about with barely contained excitement over the prospect of that toy becoming yours. I know I did…
Viking Queen Hair
I’m going to let you in on a not so secret secret. I don’t do my own hair. Ever. And if I do, it’s pretty bad looking. Because of that, I get a blow-out once a week. It might sound like a bit of an extravagance and I guess it is to some extent but in my mind, it’s money very well spent. I can either have pretty hair or a mane that resembles a horse’s tail. However, thanks to the rising popularity of blow-dry bars, this luxury is becoming more and more accessible. Montreal’s latest blow-dry bar, BLOME…
