The week in Instagram!

Well it was a nice week! I attended a really cool event with my mum, at this local charity shop called Fringues & Cie, they are in the YWCA building downtown. They were selling designers goods for nothing over 50$ My mum scored a beautiful Anna Sui dress and I found a silk Balenciaga  blouse. You can see more pictures from the event on my mum's lovely blog Called Style Montreal Sud-Est. I finally received my new Nikon lens, so now I can take even better pictures for the blog, I can't wait to test it out today. I added some vintage hats in my Etsy shop, my favorite is a Seal Skin brown floppy hat with satin bow trim. Yesterday Stéphane took me out to diner in Chinatown and we went to our favorite Pho place, then went to Harmony bakery for tasty pasties! I picked up some tasty snacks for the long weekend too ;) Well that's all  for this week, more to come over the week, lots of outfits posts and adding new items in my Etsy shop so stay tuned!

It's A Heat Wave on Thanks Giving!

It sure has been a busy weekend! I did not stop for one instant today, Stéphane took pictures of my outfit with my new 50mm lens and I adore it. We shot new vintage items to go in the shop this week, I have so many pretty Fall/Winter stuff to put in the shop. This outfit just makes me happy, orange and pink have always been one of my favorite color mixes, the suede circle skirt is from Cheap Opulence Vintage here in Montreal, I adore the movement and the bold color of this skirt. I am also wearing one of my cream lace collars, I think I may need to get more of this lace and sell them again. I guess I just have not been to sure about them but seeing them like this makes me want to make more! I paired the skirt with this bright orange mini dress from Forever 21 that I wear all the time, it's perfect on it's own or mixed with skirts. The dance shoes are also new I found them at the Sally Ann in NDG, they are so comfy and go with almost anything since they are nude. I love how the leather is so soft. Too all you Canadians readers I hope you are all having an amazing Thanks Giving!

She is inspired by her work as an artist and sees each outfit as a combination of colors on a painter's palette. Ilona proves that we can be creative and active, no matter how old we are.

Style Inspirations : Serge & Jane

When I first found out about Jane Birkin it was trough her music, my mother gave me an album to listen to and the first song was Ex fan des sixties, written  by Serge Gainsbourg. Then I realized that not only did I love the music these two made together but their flare for style. I love Serge's is simple laid back elegant style and Jane's 60s cool free flowing blouses, simple white tees, dark velvet dresses and flared jeans. It is hard for me to pin point what I love about these two together, they were so in love and of the moment, these photographs really reflect that love. 

I really love the white ruffle blouse collar peeking out of her black dress top off with a Wool maxi coat.

Loving the effortless look of the two here, his pants and her blouse!

Orange and purple stripes on Jane and a very young Charlotte.

If only I could get my hands on this tee!

The perfect simple but chic casual outfit on both of them

My latest obsession, velvet, I want to make velvet dresses and skirts for Fall/Winter
