A long long time ago (1900s to be precise), the rule of wearing white after Labor Day came into effect. Although I have heard many stories as to why wearing white after Labor Day was socially unacceptable, all stories identified this trend as a way to differentiate the rich from the poor. Today, as cultures…
Fall is such a beautiful season filled with color and change, and this past week, we have definitely felt the chill swoop in! Although we may be ready for the cooler weather and the amazing trends coming in, we may not necessarily be willing to let go of our summer outfits, or showing off our…
The end of summer is here… From the moment August rolled in, I’ve been in denial about that cool breeze that comes upon us and adds a little chill to the air. This past week, Montreal had a rude awakening when the days became blazer worthy and the evenings had a near zero type of…
As mentioned in my previous post, seeing as I had so much “shoulder content”, because I’m clearly obsessed with this trend, I decided to split the outfit options into two different sections: Off the shoulder looks and cold shoulder looks. Seeing as my last post was about the first option, today, I’ve got you all covered…
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.

We have finally seen some sun and warmer days!! Although delayed, we are in the period where the days are nice and relatively warm and the evenings are still quite “fresh”. What do you wear on a Saturday night out where you want to look cute, but the weather wont let you go bare? On…
I LOVE dressing up. Regardless of the occasion, I will find a way to make an outfit work. Now, seeing as I spend most of my life in work appropriate clothing, when it’s time to look for an outfit for going out, I get even giddier! I get to wear the pieces that I have…
If you’ve read my post on spring trends, you’ve probably noticed that I included a section on wearing pearl adorned pieces, and how this has been pretty big this season. Seeing as I have always been a fan of pearls, I did not shy away from jumping on this bandwagon, without overdoing it of course.…
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…
