Stay stylishly warm this winter!

It is cold in Montreal this morning,  When I checked the temperature before I left for the school run, it was -20°C (that is -4°F for those who don't run on the metric system).  And when your winter is that cold, you have to dress warmly, no matter how much you love fashion.  This is what I hate the most about living here.  I think winter is beautiful and nothing beats a white christmas, but I always feel unstylish at this time of year.  I will accept being stylishly cold for a dressy night out, but when dropping off the kids at school or doing my daily activities, it is simply not an option.  So I shrug it off and try and be as stylishly toasty and warm as I can. 

Below are my three daily winter looks:

A Nude Love Affair!

As much as I love bright and dramatic colors (see yesterday's post), I have a very important love affair with every shade of nude.  I am always attracted to them and if you were to look in my closet, you would see that half of it is filled with these muted beauties.  To say it is versatile is an understatement : it can be worn with every color in the rainbow and in every season and it will never go out of style.  And what I love most about it is that it is subtly sexy.  It is always my go to non-color...It is MY black.

Color makes everything look better!

Colored denim seems to be here to stay at least for a little while longer, and I could not be happier.  I cannot get enough of it.  It makes regular outfits pop out in a way that blue jeans just can't.  It took me a while to jump on board, but I have been absolutetly sold on it since last spring.   While it may not be for everyone, I think that everyone should at least give it a try.

 

I also love dramatic looks.  Dressing up for a special occasion is an opportunity to escape the daily grind and reinvent yourself.   Clothes should be seen as an extension of your personnality and making a statement with them let's everybody know who you are.  They can also be a great outlet for your creative side.

 

If you are afraid of color, start with a small pop in your jewelry or shoes.  You'll see how great it makes you feel.  Then, try graduating to a top and before you know it, you will be addicted!

 

Are you in on the colored denim trend ?  Do you like dramatic looks?  Are you afraid of color?  What outfit makes you feel pretty?  Please share your thoughts!

 

Have a great day!

 

 

 

 

Sometimes, a girl just like to feel pretty!

My daughter and I had a great time last night.  I don't think I ever heard such shrieking in my life! There was also a great surprise as The Wanted came on before Carly Rae Jepsen and Justin Bieber.

So winter is slowly creeping in.  And with early morning frost creating a thin white layer on the roofs and grasses, srping seems so far away.  But that doesn't mean we can't still channel it.  I have always loved nautical inspired outfits and I have been craving this Kate Spade skirt for quite a while now.  So styling an outfit around it was easy.  This look can take you from the office to drinks out.  It is very classic, but mixing the pattern on the skirt and the polka dots on the sweater keeps it mordern and fresh!  So here's to spring...hey, it's only 112 days away, it's not that long!

 

Have a nice day!

 

 

Channeling your inner rocker!

Hi everyone!  I hope you all had a good week-end. 

 

Today is a very special day in my daughter's life, she is going to her first pop concert.  Yes, my 7 1/2 year-old is going to see...you guessed it, Justin Bieber.  I remember when I went to see New Kids on the Block back when I was 12.  I was so excited.  I screamed for 2 hours and I was sure that I was going to marry Joe McIntyre.  Well , I didn't marry him, but I still love going to concerts, although I am much less of a groupie now.  Music is a big part of my life.  I don't sing very well and don't play an instrument either, but I can't function without it.  When I am feeling down, nothing makes me feel better than blasting my favorite tunes and singing along.  So even if I don't really know all the lyrics to Justin Bieber's songs, you can be sure that I will be up dancing with my daughter.  What else can you do when you are at a concert.  It's part of the experience. 

 

Another thing that seems to be inherently linked to concert going is fashion.  For some reason, we seem to dress for the type of concert we are going to.  Just look at pictures from Coachella  every year...everybody seems to be channelling Woodstock.  For tonight's show, my daughter opted for electric blue skinny jeans, her Justin Bieber t-shirt and her hot pink studded high top sneakers.  I will be going for a more rock inspired outfit.  I have been obsessed with edgier looks recently and think this occasion is fitting.  It will either be and oversized tee with my leather skinny jeans or a print tank top and skinny jeans.  What do you wear to go to concerts? 

 

 

 

 

 

Have a great day!

 

 





Football fever

One of my favorite things about fall is watching football while cozying up by the fire.  And with the Grey Cup held this week-end, many of us are planning viewing parties with friends (for all of you americans, the Grey Cup is the canadian Super Bowl).  Sadly, my team was eliminated last week, but that doesn't mean I won't be  watching on Sunday.  Here is one of my favorite casual outfits for laid back get-togethers:

 

 

 

Have a great week-end everyone!
