*NOTE: This cafe has since closed. Another great little spot for coffee in my neighbourhood is Spoon Cafe on Crescent. The little coffee sister of the Soupesoup group was designed with the help of local photographer, Ali Inay. Ali has an eye for coffee and great places to find your caffeine fix which led him to ...
I think the most Instagramable cafe downtown is Café Myriade in the Club Monaco at Dorchester Square. I went during my Coffee and Couture crawl for an espresso macchiato and a savoury scone. It's definitely one of Montreal's prettier cafes with its blue leather bench, immense old-apothecary-inspired mirror behind the counter and the most photogenic floor tiles. It's a bit ...
The snow is melting and I'm planning a trip to Paris in springtime! I recently purchased these YASMIN culottes from Canadian designer, Eliza Faulkner. I think they're the perfect pastel pant for Paris. I paired it with a crisp white menswear-inspired shirt (by Emporio Armani, a gift from Own The Couture) and a toile scarf by ...

I love mixing new and vintage pieces for a truly unique look. This outfit is composed of: a vintage Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche blouse that I found at a friend's clothing swap, a pleated ZARA skirt that I purchased in the fall, VINCE ankle boots and Bauble Bar tassel earrings, both purchased at Holt ...
I love New Year's Eve, but I don't love going OUT on NYE. That's why this year, we've decided to spend NYE at home with a few friends and a few bottles of bubbly. That doesn't mean that I won't dress up! I hadn't planned on investing in a new dress for NYE, but when ...
A look borrowed from the boys, the Bobbie coat by Sosken Studios (by Montreal designer, Marisa Minicucci) is a nice alternative to some of the label's more feminine coats. I didn't buy it, but borrowed it for this photo shoot. It also comes in: black, dark green and navy. Camel is more classy, don't you ...
I don't do well in extreme weather, so the arrival of Fall is always an exciting time for me. In my excitement for the change of seasons, I already swapped my Summer and Autumn wardrobes last weekend. Pulling turtlenecks, thick sweaters, long skirts and wool pants out of storage, to me, is like reuniting with ...
I love a romantic look and when I spotted this Marchesa Notte dress at hr2 on a work-related trip, I kept thinking about it. Finally, I convinced my guy to make a trip to the store with me to get a second opinion. He loved it too and since we had a wedding to attend ...
The weather in Montreal is finally brilliant and what better way to celebrate than with a glass of champagne on a terrace or by visiting a new market in Old Montreal (which also happens to have an amazing terrace) - whatever your fancy, here's what I think you should check out this week in our ...
