Lover of hats and all head pieces that I am- I was in my glory when visiting the Pointe-a-Calliere Museum here in Montreal last weekend.

Editing Your Style
Have you figured out your style yet? While most people might think they have, many others are still not quite sure. In any case, rarely is style a down-packed thing.

Paris Street Fashion
Need some styling inspiration? Magazines and social media aren't cutting it? I strongly recommend you hit the city streets and check out what people are wearing...in real life. And what's even more fun is people watching when you're traveling. That's exactly what I did last October when Paris street fashion became my obsession. I snapped... Continue Reading →

When shopping in Paris, get ready for vintage to keep crossing your path. It will be impossible to avoid- even if it's just for curiosity's sake. Vintage shopping in Paris is abundant...especially if you're in the right place: Le Marais district. Truth be told, we did a lot of walking until we hit the right... Continue Reading →
