Anyone can do the runway now that the @royalmount

Anyone can do the runway now that the @royalmount shopping destination is open! This mega mall houses multiple luxury brands as well as more accessible boutiques. The highlights for me were:

1. The new walkway that spans the Decarie expressway directly from the de La Savane metro station to the new mall complex.

2. The @lefoufoumtl food hall which features some of Montreal’s favourite gourmet restos.

3. The multiple local fashion brands who have moved in: @mariesaintpierre @judithandcharles @quartzco and more.

4. The art! In collaboration with @massivart - Royalmount has an impressive amount of artworks on display for the public to enjoy, making this a unique visual experience and not just a place to shop.

Who’s up for a fashion getaway, right in our city?!

A Royal unboxing 👑 This British Royal Family ha

A Royal unboxing 👑 This British Royal Family haul hails from an Antique store in the Queen City / Regina, Saskatchewan. Royal memorabilia dating back as far as 1937 from the coronation of King George VI to the coronation and jubilees of his daughter, Queen Elizabeth II. I left behind anything related to Charles and Diana because I find their story too tragic to have around the house. Which piece do you think is my favourite? Find out in my Stories! 😁 #AntiqueFinds

Flower farms are my new passion 😁 Last week in

Flower farms are my new passion 😁 Last week in Quebec and last night at @paperwhiteflowerhouse where my Mom treated my niece and I to a Garden P”art”y with @brittanyraeperry where we picked our own bouquets and then painted them in watercolours. It was a lovely evening and a wonderful souvenir of my precious time spent in the Prairies with my family.

Memories of a perfect press day hosted by @tourism

Memories of a perfect press day hosted by @tourismevicto_region last Thursday:

A picnic lunch by @bagelicieux at @pivoinerielili followed by a flower gathering session to create our own bouquets.

A visit to the lovely animal farm at La Chevalerie de Jade where I met a baby donkey named Rose and a pair of turtles named Thelma and Louise!

A 5@7 at local distillery @distillerie_euclide to try a couple of handcrafted cocktails made with their award-winning artisanal gin and appetizers made with seafood from @poisslamouliere & bbq sauces by @fumivore_entreprise 🍸🍹🦪

Dinner in the vineyard at the gorgeous @cotesdugavet with bubbly and poutine from @fromagerievictoria (best squeaky cheese I think I’ve ever tasted!)

Thanks for the invite @josianneisabel !

Fabulously French, absolutely gourmand and decaden

Fabulously French, absolutely gourmand and decadently divine, @ducdelorraine is a wonderful institution right here in Montreal. I often stop there for their famous quiche Lorraine, but yesterday I enjoyed my favourite salad: La salade Niçoise while my fiancé and dear friend @bernardcordeau both had eggs Benedict with lobster and crab. We marvelled at the excellent service and attention to every detail. Even @dapperschnauzer and Queenie were welcomed with treats and water and lots of affection. A gourmet meal at Duc de Lorraine would not be complete without one of their classic desserts. I had the millefeuille while Chris opted for la religieuse au café and Bernard chose the Baba au rhum. A lovely way to spend a sunny afternoon or for any special occasion! Thank you for hosting us this time and we look forward to our next visit. (invitation)

Never said no to a @greygoose martini!🍸Last nig

Never said no to a @greygoose martini!🍸Last night, we tried three kinds of Grey Goose martinis at their pop up ‘Tini Bar in the Old Port. We were guided through three mini bars that were each decorated uniquely to embody: water, wheat and sky, while tasting a cocktail that showcases Grey Goose vodka. I loved the classic martini and the espresso martini, but my favourite decor was the wheat room because of my Prairie roots. The pop-up is there until Saturday, but tickets are already sold out. If you want to experience it, the next ‘Tini Bar event is being held in Toronto on Sept 5-7. Visit greygooseletinibar.ca to reserve a spot!

Martinis by the sea do taste better!🍸🌊 While visiting Gros Morne National Park, Chris and I made ourselves a seaside cocktail with some impressive bar ware by @yeti (gifted) The cocktail shaker is my favourite of the three items they sent. Find out why in my latest blog post.

Cod-jigging in Newfoundland was so much fun!🎣We

Cod-jigging in Newfoundland was so much fun!🎣We booked a semi-private tour for the four of us with a professional guide. There were 6 others on board the Bontours Breeze as we set out to try our hand at fishing for cod. @bontours2016 provides the fishing gear and the guides give you tips on how to catch your fish and reel it in. The best part was that we were able to bring the dogs on board (for all their other tours, dogs are not allowed). Not only that, we caught a cooler full of fish!🐟Mostly cod and mackerel but one person actually caught a shark!🦈😲Luckily, it snapped the line at the surface and swam off because we really didn’t want a shark on board. Chris’ father caught an Atlantic wolffish - it was impressive to witness that before the crew threw him back in the sea. This is a fun activity to take part in if you visit @visitgrosmorne national park.

Hiking Gros Morne is one of the most challenging t

Hiking Gros Morne is one of the most challenging things I have ever done. It’s an incredible view at the top but a gruelling hike that took us nearly 11 hours. In retrospect, we shouldn’t have taken the dogs because we mostly had to carry them up the rocky terrain and they each weigh 18lbs. 😓 Can’t whine too much though, since we did it with Chris’ parents who climbed the mountain for their 50th wedding anniversary and we were incredibly happy to be able to join them. I’m amazed that we did it, but once you start going up, it’s almost impossible to go back down, so you just have to keep. on. going. (Even if it’s on all fours!) 🐢⛰️🥇

A little pit stop for a romantic stroll at the Sac

A little pit stop for a romantic stroll at the Sackville Waterfowl Park in New Brunswick. We have to plan these breaks since we are travelling with our two small dogs. They appreciate it and it’s a great way to see some unique places along the way on our road trip to Newfoundland. @dapperschnauzer and Mary, Queen of Scots are having the best time because they love water and ducks! 🦆

A Brexton picnic hamper to commemorate the coronat

A Brexton picnic hamper to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II! I couldn’t believe my luck when I came across this complete vintage picnic set on Marketplace. Finding one of these sets with all its pieces still intact is already like finding a unicorn but this one is even more rare because it was designed to honour the Queen’s coronation in 1953. Swipe through to see how much I paid for it and how excited I am to add it to my collection (this being my third Brexton picnic basket). 🧺👑

How it’s going vs how it started: back in Februa

How it’s going vs how it started: back in February, @jesuisunenfantterrible_ invited me to their original restaurant on Bernard to try their Valentine’s menu with a guest and I decided to invite my crush, Chris. Five months later, we went back to Les Enfants Terribles on Bernard in Outremont to try their summer menu on their terrace while celebrating our 5-month anniversary at the same time. Both experiences were truly memorable and I thank my @jesuisunenfantterrible_ family for playing such a large part in our love story. Cheers to many more anniversaries at your restaurants!

Had an unusual and magical evening with @hendricks

Had an unusual and magical evening with @hendricksgin last night at @lagranderouedemontreal with my guy. We tried three different cocktails with the original Hendricks gin and the new Grand Cabaret gin. We also played cucumber croquet, had our caricatures done and ended the evening with a spin on the Ferris wheel! A truly magical soirée! (Invite)

Spoiled like a Persian princess at @maisoninja - t

Spoiled like a Persian princess at @maisoninja - the charming new downtown restaurant next to @cafeaunja (and run by the same lovely couple). During a food blogger event, we tried so many flavourful and unique dishes that I felt like I had traveled to the Middle East via these culinary creations. From the starters or “Mazzeh” to the main courses of lentil & date tahchin, to eggplant dolmeh and grilled lamb, there is something for everyone’s tastes and food restrictions. I particularly loved the sumac-infused tahchin rice and the house-blend tea with cumin and cinnamon to complement the dessert. A must if you are looking for a traditional Persian home-cooked meal experience!

Last Friday, @fitzmontrealtours launched their fir

Last Friday, @fitzmontrealtours launched their first Montreal Street Art tour and I was invited to try it out! The two-hour tour on sleek and comfy e-bikes is offered Thursday-Saturday and gives you an incredible overview of Montreal’s stunning street art scene. An expert guide takes you through some of the most charming streets and green alleyways to give you the low-down on the murals and art dotted across the city. Created by both local and international street artists, these murals make for an amazing open-air gallery experience. You’ll learn insider information about the artists and their work, plus see the city in an entirely unique way. This is an activity I highly recommend for both tourists and Montrealers alike this summer!

Tonight I had a divine time at one of the @festiva

Tonight I had a divine time at one of the @festivalclassica concerts. The venue was spectacular and the concert exquisite! A complete choir and philharmonic orchestra led by conductor & artistic director, Michel Brousseau performed Théodore Dubois’s Messe solennelle de saint Remi and Gabriel Fauré’s beloved Requiem, (considered one of the finest requiems of the 19th century), and finally, the Cantique de Jean Racine by the same composer. But, the highlight for me was the truly moving performance by soloist, Randy Freiha (a soprano from Les Petits Chanteurs de Laval). My guests and I were transported to another era during this sublime concert.

If you love classical music, or if you are like me, and don’t really know that much about it, #FestivalClassica is a wonderful way to attend a grand concert at an accessible price. The Festival is celebrating its 14th season and even has a “pay what you can” ticket option for those who are on a budget.

I will add the link to the festival program, tickets & passports in my Stories and hopefully this sneak peek will inspire you to attend one or many of the upcoming concerts.
