The arrival of June typically means that shorts and cute dresses come out, and a sweater gets thrown on at night because it typically gets a little chilly. This year… this isn’t the case. This year, June means even more rain, and chillier than usual daytime temps that force us to wear a light sweater…
This Spring has been particularly rough on me. In addition to the crappy weather we’ve been living through, I haven’t felt quite like myself lately. Gaining a significant amount of weight, aging in general (I see the wrinkles settling in), and dealing with a heavy workload while taking classes for personal development, finding time to…
Vacations are amazing, but for some reason, regardless how long they are, once you return, the stress levels make you question whether it was worth leaving in the first place… Being back for a week, and having caught up on the 2 days of work that I’ve missed, now, it is time to catch up…
Notice how I always refer to weather when I start my post? That’s because us Montrealers don’t really have a choice but to dress according to what mother nature dishes out.

For those of you who are just getting to know me, let me explain my day job situation. I work in an office, in sales. The dress code is not the same as a bank, but it is not casual either, which means that, aside from our casual Friday, no jeans are permitted. No rules…

For those who have read my last post, you know exactly how fed up I am of this freezing cold that we have been enduring for the last couple of weeks in Montreal. Although I am disappointed that I am not already transitioning to lighter coats and a new set of outdoor booties, I still…
For those who live in Canada or any other Nordic country, you may understand how I feel this week. We went from a balmy and rainy 12 degrees Celsius, to a frozen -27 degrees Celsius overnight. The first part of my week was exciting and motivating. It meant that spring was here and that I could…
I’m a big believer in the statement that wearing jogging pants out of the house means you have given up on life… Except when your jogging pants are really just as stylish as the rest of your wardrobe of course. Basically, I make an effort to leave the house looking put together, no matter where…
Whether it’s Saturday or Sunday, there’s something to be said about enjoying an amazing brunch with family, friends or a significant other. This has recently become a weekend ritual for most, including myself, and typically, the outfit of choice is always something cute, yet comfy and casual. Last weekend was no exception! I chose to…
