The Montreal Styling Diva – Fashion Confessions
When you think neutrals, do you picture beige with even more beige? Don't! Forget the beiges. Change your mindset and look to crisp, fresh bright neutrals, starting with a white base. Then, make your look clean and on trend by adding different textures in cool whites, greys and a splash of black. This will turn... Continue Reading →
As a stylist and fashion teacher I use Spring- Summer trends, (or Fall-winter trends) mostly as a guideline to keep stylish and current. In practice, trends are there to whet your appetite- to change or freshen things up a bit. Now, depending on where you look, the information on trends can be inundating and super...

Today touches on a subject I can never get enough of: Fashion history. And about that- I'm pretty sure fashion history buffs everywhere were pretty stunned by some of this year's Fashion Week runway shows- I certainly was! I was especially blown away by the beautiful interpretations taken from historical references. Here's my short analysis... Continue Reading →
I don't work in a regular office- so as a fashion teacher my attire doesn't have to be formal or conventional...unless I want it to be! I feel quite lucky that inspiration and creativity are the guiding factors for what I wear to work each day. For me, dressing up for work goes hand in... Continue Reading →
One of my favourite go-to outfits always involves some sort of t-shirt- and if it comes with a great pic on it, even better! I do prefer tees with a fun slogan or with a print of my top music bands. I find them super cool. But- It's too bad that in most cases when it comes... Continue Reading →
If you've been following me for awhile then you already know about my crazy vintage obsession. What is it about vintage that I love so much? Well, being a textile fanatic (yeah, I'm that too), I pretty much have a fascination for well-made clothes that feel fabulous, look great, are unique (in the sense that very few... Continue Reading →
Why a Maximalist Monday? So happy to be getting back on board with a new challenge! And why, of all things a Maximalist Monday theme? Well for starters, Monday has a bad rep- it's notoriously felt as being a slow, blues kind-of-day for most of us. So what better way to snap out of it... Continue Reading →
This Week's Style Diary... The super cold weather here in Montreal had me styling some pretty comfy cozy looks with a touch of chic this week. As well, you all know how much I love a bright print- and yet, these days I've been pining for neutrals and darker hues. On thing that's remained pretty... Continue Reading →
Documenting your looks can be super helpful for both inspiration and for tracking your style evolution. It's also a great way to keep inventory of all that you own- so that you don't fall into a mindless, rebuying-same-stuff, hole over and over again! This can be done not only on Instagram- you can also create... Continue Reading →
I often wonder if the saying 'history repeats itself' was actually meant for fashion. Everything we wear or have worn comes from some prior inspiration- and that can go as far back as Antiquity and beyond! Fashion is cyclical. Don't believe me? Send me an image of any clothing item, and I'll root it back... Continue Reading →
