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…
