Thank you 2013!

Coat, super old____Sweater, local boutique____Skirt, Forever21____Scarf, local boutique____Gloves, Moschino____Hat, H&M____Shoes, J. Crew

I've had this black pea coat for almost six years, before it was time to finally let it go. I honestly don't even remember where I got it from, it's been that long. I've worn it religiously every winter, and it's one of those items that you know you should get rid of (as you can see in the detail shot, the material is really worn out), but simply can't because it's so versatile. But finally, we parted ways and it always feels good to lighten up your closet from old clothes. Now, I just need to find a replacement for it. 

I'm now leaving for the airport for a super exciting trip abroad. Of course, I will be taking tons of pictures to share later... I won't be bringing my laptop during my trip, so my next post will be next year. Gosh, time really flies. Have an awesome holiday season and happy new year!

Follow me on instagram because I will be updating on there until I get back home. :)

Home for the Holidays

Sweater, Editorial____Short, Editorial____Plaid shirt, Abercrombie____Jacket, Rudsak____Bag, J. Crew____Boots, SixtySeven

There really is no place like home for the holidays. Being with my parents, friends, and my dog is a gift in of itself! I almost feel guilty for how lazy I've been the past few days. For example, today I woke up at 2 pm and watched three hours of "The Real Housewives." Just in the few months I haven't watched TV, (because I don't have TV in Montreal), there are so many reality shows I've never heard of. It really seems like anyone can get their own show nowadays if they are crazy enough! Winter break is all about relaxing, and getting so bored to the point you are ready to head back to school. But I'm just getting ahead of myself... I'm definitely not to that point yet!

Christmas is only two days away! Wish you all a nice and relaxing holiday, and safe travels.

VIDEO: Cute and Cozy Sweaters Lookbook

Winter is the season when leggings are a girl's best friend. Check out this video for some inspiration!

I just got back last night from a three day trip to New York City! I had a great time with my sister, my mom, and my friend, Bon. I've been to NYC often, but every visit is different and brings forth new memories. Especially on this trip... Bon and I will be talking about a certain incident for years and years to come. This is where the saying "Memories to last a lifetime" applies perfectly. Of course, we hit up the tourist spots to take some pictures in Times Square and Rockefeller Center, but what I really love is exploring quieter streets. (I mean, nowhere is "quiet" in Manhattan, but less chaotic then Times Square for sure!) We explored the East Village: eye-shopping in amazing vintage boutiques, and eating where the locals do like The Grey Dog and Cafe Gitane. This type of exploring gives me a taste of what it would be like to be a New Yorker, which is a long-time dream of mine.

Here's to dreams and working hard for them.

WANNA-BE WANG

The hunt is over. Ever since I saw these Alexander Wang-esque heels on Instagram and on other bloggers, I knew I had to get my hands on them. I don't know why it was so hard to find these shoes, but long story short, it took me three weeks before I could find a pair in my size that weren't damaged in some way! The main difference between these ones from Forever21 and the real Wangs is that the real one has one extra strap that goes up the ankle. Oh, that, and... the fact that these were only $50. Which, I have to say is a kind of a lot considering they are from Forever. But hey, I'm just a student and they work for me. I just love the cool cutouts, and how they can be dressed up or down. The only downside is that they give me blisters on the back of my heels, but that's what band-aid is for!

The school semester is officially over, and I just have two finals left! It's crazy how fast time went by, but I am counting down the days until I can fly back home to see my parents and spend Christmas together. Good luck to everybody out there during finals! We're almost there!

The KENZO tiger sweatshirt: We've all seen it blogged and reblogged all over the internet and instagram since last year. The creative minds behind this very simple, but genius, design are Carol Lim and Humberto Leon, who took on Kenzo as their own in 2012. I read an article about the duo, and it is a really inspiring story. Basically, they started out as great friends, had a great idea, founded Opening Ceremony, and now revamped Kenzo into a fresh, edgy brand. (Read the article here!) Their personal success story makes me love the brand even more.

overalls in alley ways

Fashion has the most interesting way of recycling itself. Who would have thought overalls would come back into style? I certainly did not see it coming, but it's awesome to be able to wear a childhood favorite again without looking like a hill billy. I won the overalls I'm wearing from a contest held by Twee from ezzentrictopz.com (Thanks again Twee!) Now that the ground is covered in snow, I'm going to have to layer up with tights!

Ain't Laurent Without Yves

Sweatshirt/dress(worn as skirt)/Scarf, c/o The Denim Warehouse____Boots, Sixtyseven____Watch, Casio

I was super excited when The Denim Warehouse invited me to participate in their first-ever blogger contest. I got to visit their store in Montreal, and pick out an outfit to feature on my blog. The blogger with the most votes wins their outfit of choice! Pretty simple, right? Obviously, I went for the super comfy sweater with a smart saying on it. I know, I know, it's kind of a dying trend, but I still adore the wit. Under it, I'm wearing a skin-tight dress that appears as a skirt here. And of course, every outfit needs a pop of color so this cobalt blue scarf does just that. 

Check out The Denim Warehouse's Facebook page, and vote for my look! (huge thanks in advance if you do <3 ) <== click!
