The Montreal Styling Diva – Fashion Confessions
Today's theme for our collaboration is ballet based- how bittersweet! From a young age, you could say I was pretty much immersed in everything that's art; from painting, to crafting, to sewing, designing, diy's- and yes, ballet too. I was a ballerina for the longest time! I danced til the age of 20 and taught... Continue Reading →
Where We Unravel the World of Fashion... 5 Main Reasons to Shop Vintage The reasons for shopping vintage are many, and different for all. Let me narrow it down to just 5 of the most prevalent reasons: Style, Quality, Prestige, Collecting, Environment. Basically, any of these could be the basic, average motivators for you to...

A monochrome look can be beautiful, but with a pop of bold colour it can be superb! Give me big bold colours all year long- but something about styling them in Spring really gets me going. A fresh royal blue when least expected can jolt the spirit in its own flashy way, especially since we... Continue Reading →
When in doubt, wear pink...and silk! This is true even where the weather is still kind of shifty, like here in Florida. Silk is the most versatile fabric: keeps you warm when your chilly (think of a silk scarf)- and cool in summer; have your pick! And when there's some pink in the mix of... Continue Reading →
My go-to books are always fashion or history-related; with most often it being a mix of both. To go further, my favourite kinds of reads are biographies or autobiographies- especially about women. I just recently devoured three such books that fit all of the above, and am here to let you in on these: Vivienne... Continue Reading →
When I think bright- I think white! With a side of colourful David Bowie makes it even better! But today's star (sorry Bowie), is this vintage YSL foulard. Can blue and white be any crisper? I've inherited this scarf years ago (the 80's to be exact)...and all I did was wear it a few times.... Continue Reading →
What could be better for me than styling a darling vintage coat that belonged to my Mom? The cut is impeccable, as is the luxurious fabric. That's not why I love it though. Maybe it's just my imagination but I'm feeling my mom's scent swirling around me every time I wear it. And although my... Continue Reading →
When it comes to garments and fashion, for me it's primarily about texture, print and pattern. This fun quilted, velvet jacket has it all! I found this gem at an estate sale where the lady in question had 2 of these magnificent 80's jackets. I only turned around a moment to let my friend know... Continue Reading →
Fall is here whether you're up for it or not. Are you automatically thinking brown, burgundy and rust? Well, not that there's anything wrong with that...just be sure not to limit or define your seasonal style by colour alone! Transitioning primarily means staying comfortable while adapting to change of weather. This can be done through... Continue Reading →
When my Thrifty Six fashionista friends decided on this month's theme: Stripes...I wasn't so sure. I do love stripes, but I thought that this might be a pattern I don't have much of in my wardrobe. Ok, I was totally off! You all know how much I love a great jumpsuit-and this one has stripes... Continue Reading →
