Weekly Inspo

Weekly bit of inspiration.  Definitely feeling some new fall things like midi skirts paired with comfy sweaters.  I move back to Montreal soon so interior design is on my mind!  Excited to go back and be in my own home.

Seventies Vibes

Top - Topshop / Leggings - Lululemon / Shoes - Aldo / Purse - Kate Spade ( similar ) When I was in NYC a few weeks ago I stumbled upon this adorable top/dress in the petites section of Topshop.  Being only 5'2" I'm absolutely a petite person and I love how the Topshop in Soho has an entire section dedicated to the smaller people like me.  This piece is quite short but I think it can work for many different occasions just depending on what you put underneath it.  In this case, I had this on for a day working at the gallery but I could easily wear it to a party with only tights underneath. Just another black and white piece that I'm going to be pairing with a red lip for many other occasions this coming fall.

Fashionable Feminism?

Follow my blog with Bloglovin I have to say, I have mixed feelings about the release of Acne's Fall 2015 menswear collection.  If you know me in person, you probably know that I have very strong feelings about my own feminism and beliefs in women's rights and gender equality.  There's something to be said about a major label such as Acne coming out with clothing along this line, but what is the statement they're actually making? I'm all about proclaiming your own feminism, but I'm not a fan of doing it to go along with the 'fad' of feminism.  Even if Acne designers have the intention of labeling themselves as openly feminist, I'm afraid of the bearded, PBR-drinking hipsters taking this as the OK to put on clothing that says they support feminism while at the same time not supporting it in their daily lives.  Does this mean it WILL happen?  Not necessarily, but it's just something to think about. These pieces run from $220 USD to over

New York, I Love You

This summer has been insane.  I've been working constantly between my three jobs and have had almost no time for fun!  Thankfully, my main job had a two week summer break where I had a chance to take a deep breath and spend some time by myself, with friends and seeing family.  One of the things I was able to do is visit New York City two times and see my great friend Haleigh.  We spent the entire day downtown and got a chance to see the new Whitney Museum down in Meatpacking.  Although I was a tad disappointed with the collection itself, the building was super impressive as was the view of downtown.   I did really enjoy the Calder circus they had on display and the minimalist exhibits, so if you go I definitely suggest keeping an eye out for those. I made the decision to wear a breezy dress from Free People which worked perfectly because of how incredibly hot it was in the city that day.  Paired with my favorite Birkenstocks (yes, they're not
