H&M // Balmain Collection Favorites

Tomorrow is the special day that many of us have been waiting for - the opening of the H&M Balmain collection!  I'm also excited for November 5th because it's my birthday (more on that later.)  Unfortunately since it is my birthday I'm going to miss the major morning rush when the stores open but I will be hauling my tired body over there on Friday morning in the hopes that my store will not already be incredibly depleted.  For all you lucky americans out there - the collection goes online at 8 a.m. EST.

In anticipation I've been staring at the H&M website trying to decide my personal favorites from the collection.  Not to mention that the website itself looks super cool and I'm mildly geeking out.

The collection as a whole gives off this aura of mystery - kind of makes me think of a 1980s spy movie?  The blouses definitely give off the 1980s vibe while the dark colors add that chiller aspect.  Something like what Sigourney Weaver would have worn in Ghost Busters when she was taken over by that demon Zuul.  Was that super specific?  I particularly love the tight turtle-necked dresses and the gorgeous silver and gold accents.

Top with Braided Details $149

Silk Blend Velvet Dress $149
Leather and Faux-fur Jacket $129

Wool-blend coat $249
Beaded Velvet Dress $599

Multi-strand Necklace $99

OOTD: Oversized Stripes

Montreal has finally experienced the inevitable drop in temperature (one of many) that signals the beginning of fall.  During the summer, it's not necessarily colder in this city than it is in New York or Boston - but once September rolls around, the temperature takes a nice swan dive into autumn.  Not the dreadful dive it takes in November, though.  That is when Montreal suddenly becomes ten degrees colder than my hometown in Rhode Island and remains that way throughout the winter (unless it's twenty degrees colder, in that case please kill me.) So, I decided to try out this outfit combination the other day thinking that I wouldn't freeze my legs off.  I mean, they stayed on.  But I was itching to go home and throw on some pants, or like twenty blankets.  I have a low tolerance for these kinds of things - don't ask me why I moved to Canada. Speaking of my legs, were they always that white? (thanks, mom and dad) Also, can I just say - why is it ...

OOTD: North Carolina Vacation

I'm not sure which is more nerve-wracking: having your father meet your boyfriend or your judicious little sister meet your boyfriend.  This past weekend, I was down in Wilmington, North Carolina with my boyfriend Isaac.  Though my dad had met Isaac a few years prior in Montreal, the rest of my family had only encountered him through the wonders of Facetime.  So, this past weekend was a very exciting time given the fact that I have three younger half-siblings, grandparents, aunts, and cousins who all had to meet Isaac.  Thankfully (and not surprisingly) they all adored him as much as I do. On Saturday night, after a beautiful day on the beach we went to dinner downtown with some more family.  Isaac and I went for a little walk before dinner to snap some outfit photos.  Since only my extended family lives in Wilmington, I hadn't spent much time in the area on my own.  As we strolled along the tree-lined streets, I fell in love with the old houses a...
