There isn’t much available online that depicts what true fashionistas are sporting on the snowy slushy streets of Canada. So, how is Canadian real winter looks like? It’s all about boots, scarves, sweaters, mittens, hats, parkas… The whole nine yards. But sometimes we chill, as today! Read more…

Sportswear is, definitely, having a moment on the catwalks right now, and what better way to ease this trend into your daily wardrobe than with a bomber jacket? With its military fighter pilot origins, this jacket will instantly give you an injection of attitude. This season’s bomber comes in a daring range of colours and designs for those who care to adventure beyond the classic black look. And they don’t have to be ultra-sporty or masculine. My choice is to go casual with an army green bomber and destroyed denim. Read more…

I cannot believe it’s been a year already since I wrote my first words for this blog! It seems like all this happened in a different life, and I still remember exactly how I felt as if it was yesterday. I was excited and full of emotions: happy, nervous, unsure and disoriented. Unsure because although the idea of blogging seemed like a promising hobby, like so many others starting a blog, I thought who would actually read it, leave comments, BUT you know what? I went ahead and did it anyway, because it was something I could see myself enjoying, and I am glad I did not let my insecurities get in the way! You cannot imagine how happy blogging has made me.

I walked today, and there was a real sense of autumn in the air. Golden and red leaves lay scattered on the ground, the smell of dampness filled my nostrils and there was enough of a chill to need a trench. Autumn is a season that demonstrates just how varied the Canadian weather can be. We can quickly descend from the warmth of late summer, to gales and rain, only to be followed by fog and frost.

The military of the world have had an unmistakable impact on fashion. Whether it be the varied terrain, weather encountered or nature of living in one’s uniform. This trend will never go out of style! During World War II, the leather goods were dyed with mulberry juice, which produced a more yellowish tone, but both colours became known as khaki, from the Persian word “khak” which means earth, dust or ashes.

One of this season’s hot fashion trends is mixing textures. However, it takes a little bit of thought to pull the perfect mix-and-match look together. It is all about colour and graphic art, so mixing it all together can sometimes be hard. The one thing you want to do is to stick to one piece that really is the statement. Then, have little pieces of other textures. The trick to mixing textures is mixing a little bit of everything, not a lot. Read more…

Mixing styles, is about having fun discovering outfits that reflect you. It’s supposed to be personal and uniquely you. Find a style that speaks to you and mix it with another style that gives a perfect look. In today’s outfit I mixed lace and leather, feminine and masculine. The idea of wearing leather on a hot summer’s day sounds about as delightful as sporting an open-back dress in the dead of winter. Unfortunately, summer almost finished… Hello, Autumn! Read more…
Today’s post is about country style chic. 🙂 History always likes to repeat itself in everything and fashion is something that the younger generation wants to constantly experiment with and they like to try the trends of the older generation. Fashion world is constantly replacing newer clothes in volumes and proportions. Such an example is the return of the flared pants. Fitted from the top and flared at the bottom is the trademark of these pants. They sometimes don’t look decent but if accompanied with gorgeous pieces and styled perfectly you can look polished.

In the previous post we spoke about details and personal style. Today, there will be a look to the fashion history. We will come back to 70s and 90s, and it is all about combining two different epochs.
The MIDI skirt was a popular length in the 1940s, a fashion decade known for its elegance and grace, and it is characterized by its length, which can reach anywhere from just below the knee to mid-calf. By the ’60s, the MIDI was out, replaced by the more revealing and progressive MINI skirt. After this breath of freedom, however, came the fated year of 1970, and with it, year of MIDI again.

People generally recognize you by your face, the eyeglasses you choose to wear are a very real part of your identity. Whether you want to appear sophisticated, fun-loving, youthful, conservative or style-conscious, the right eye-wear can help you shape how you are perceived.

The current off-the-shoulder trend is one of the hottest looks this season and there’s no reason why everyone shouldn’t join in. The off-the-shoulder design can be found in tops or in dresses, making it endlessly versatile and extremely popular. It is the best way to combine sexiness with sophistication. In today’s outfit I am demonstrating a cute and relaxed style here, wearing the classic blue on a loose fitting off the shoulder dress from Zara. I love the simplicity of this off-the-shoulder style.
No, I am not talking about wearing yoga pants all day, every day… but more like old school sports jerseys, graphic t-shirts and varsity jackets matched up with leather skirts, skinny jeans and tennis shorts. Such looks will give you sports luxe looks on the street, and I am b-a-n-a-n-a-s about this trend. What’s not to love? It’s a winning combo of Sporty Chic + comfort.
If there is one adjective that is discussed pretty much when it comes to women, it’s femininity. Judging by how often it’s discussed, it’s easily the most sought-after quality after beauty. To most men, feminity is like the proverbial oasis in a dry desert. Feminity is what the Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León would’ve been looking for if he hadn’t been looking for the fountain of youth. But whereas beauty is easily understood and needs no further explanation – for men you’re either attracted or not, feminity is more opaque and complicated. Read more…

Happy Monday, Everyone! Today, I want to share with you a few images of one of my favourite dresses at the moment. I found this pearl dream to wear! So much perfection concentrated in one little dress: the lace, the colour, the fit and length… I love it! In fact, I find myself so obsessed I keep inventing ways I can downplay it in different outfits. So far, heels and aviator jacket seem to be the winning combination, but I am committed to coming up with more. Read more…
The Aviator Parka or Bomber Jacket is an icon of enduring style. Since its inception a century ago, it has clothed the backs of war time fighter pilots, movie stars and A-list footballers. As with most menswear classics, the aviator parka / bomber jacket started life as a military jacket. With the introduction of air combat during WWII, pilots required jackets that could be worn in cramped cockpits at high altitude. Since then, the aviator / bomber jacket has gained popularity among youth subcultures like much of the military wear that came before it. Read more…
Christian Dior said: ”You can never take too much care over the choice of your shoes. Too many women think that they are unimportant, but the real proof of an elegant woman is what is on her feet.” Flats, heels, boots, ballets, sandals, clogs, platforms, wedges, lace-ups, etc… – I love shoes, desire and lust after them. I feel my heart race when I look at shoes I am considering buying, feel a jolt of joy when I wear them the first time. I know that I need to have shoes like I know that I need to eat and breathe. Perhaps, I wouldn’t die if I had to wear the same drab pair of shoes for the rest of my life but some part of me would wilt and fade. Read more…
Hello Everyone! How is your weekend going so far? Today, I would like to present you a very casual and chic outfit which is great for travelling with a kid . Yesterday, we spent a lovely day on Ottawa Tulip Festival. The celebration founded on international friendship with the 1945 presentation of 100,000 tulip bulbs from Princess Juliana of the Netherlands to Ottawa, Canada’s capital, given in appreciation of the safe haven that members of Holland’s exiled royal family received during World War II in Ottawa and in recognition of the role which Canadian troops played in the liberation of the Netherlands.

Hello Everyone! It seems that spring is finally here in Montreal. In need of a little pink inspiration — I wanted to create a spring look based on a pale pink colour.
Pink is a hue traditionally associated with all things “girly.” For some reason (call it instinct; call it social conditioning), a lot of women, including myself, are simply drawn to the Barbie shade. Pink puts me in a gleeful mood and brings out the daintier side of my personality, and I must say, pink fashion gets me in a dreamy, almost nostalgic state of mind. Read more…
I want to dispel the myth that rock and gothic style in fashion as a rule, is always gloomy and supported by the representatives of the same name subculture. Their clothing is dark, and consists of trousers, shirts, corsets and magnificent skirts. They wear silver skull and crosses around the neck. From this style emanates a certain tenderness and world beyond the grave, as members of society prefer gothic pale complexion framed by dark hair, black lips, nails and eyeliner. And this way of supporting both girls and boys. Thus, according to the majority, gothic clothing – it is a certain way to express your feelings and dark thoughts. Read more…
“French charm”, “French style” – how many times have we heard this phrase? France made a lot in order to be considered a world mecca of fashion and style. Not surprisingly, the first time coming to France, many expect to see on the streets of French cities Women, like just coming down from the catwalks of fashion shows. However, the real street style, is totally different. So, if you generalize, the Parisian style is based on three pillars: the appropriateness, elegance and demeanor. These are the key concepts, which correspond to the style of French, even if at first it does not make you bright impressions. Read more…
Flared jeans are back in style! Seriously, flares are just about the most exciting thing to happen to denim since the advent of skinny jeans. In fact, ’70-s references abound this season, and while flares are obviously one of those trends -a modern twist.
I love a lot skinny jeans but after wearing them so often for the past few years, I would like to add something different to my denim style. Read more…

Sneakers aren’t just for the gym anymore, but rather a cool, low-maintenance addition to an otherwise style-minded outfit. Read more…
Karl Lagerfeld once said: ”Black and White always looks modern, whatever that word means.” The perfection of high contrast looks that is hard to put in words but is chic as soon as we see it. Maybe you prefer not to think about matching your clothes or maybe you are all about minimalist neutrals but for some women — colour simply isn’t that appealing. If that describes you, there’s a chance that black and white outfits make up the bulk of your wardrobe. Read more…
Canadian winter can be tough, especially, when -20C outside it is not a limit! Montreal island is surrounded by water, and it is extremely cold because of the freezing wind and humidity. The temperatures may feel colder than the actual temperature. If the weather forecast prognosis -16C with windchill you may feel it as -29C.
In such weather you want to feel warm and protected from cold and piercing wind. In today’s outfit I am wearing long wool coat that covers me from such wind. You might see that details make the whole difference of an outfit! Read more…
