After a year of living in Montreal, I think it's safe to say that I'm pretty adjusted and can call myself a Montrealer. (or Montrealaise in french) so obviously, I needed to get a sweatshirt proclaiming that.

I took these pictures on my last day in Montreal before leaving for New York. As you can see, the weather is extremely bipolar, and it decided to rain on us during the shoot. But nothing can stop bloggers, right? We were literally in the rain, trying to keep our skirts down from the wind, all the whilst ignoring the confused the looks we got from people passing by. (I'm used to that by now) Yes, the winter is horrid and the politics may be skewed, but I still love Montreal's vibrancy. I think it is this year that I fully grasped the meaning behind the saying time flies. I know this summer is going to disappear in a snap, so I'm going to try my best to be super productive (blog wise) and super lazy (everything else wise). 

Like I said, I'm currently at a coffee shop on Sixth Avenue writing this post. I'm seated right next to the window, watching the continuous flow of people walking fast to wherever their day needs them to be. Despite the weird sewage smells, the constant blare of sirens, and the herds of tourists who block the sidewalk, I fall more in love with this city with each visit. Keep an eye peeled for my outfit posts!

Hope everyone is well, and having a good day! Now, let me finish this macchiato.

VICTORY IS MINE! (imagine me shouting this as I pretend to like snow in the last picture^^)

After searching around for a year (yes, a whole YEAR) for the perfect leopard coat, I finally found this one from Jollychic.com ... Why did it take me a whole year to commit? After all, it is just a coat, right? Well, yes and no. I found it quite hard to find a leopard coat with the right length, the right color tone, and level of furriness. The one from Zara was too long, the one from Asos was an odd dark leopard, and the one from Forever 21 had a hood with ears on it. (I think I graduated eared-hoods when I was six, thank you very much) So when I found this one online, it was a shopping eureka moment. The shipping kind of took a long time, so when it came in the mail, it felt like a surprise because I almost forgot I ordered it. At first sight, even I was a little intimidated by the bold print. But the more I wear it, that exact boldness is growing on me. Plus, it's extremely warm! 

You probably noticed the random lay out of the pictures, because there are two different backgrounds. Well, my sister and I took these pictures on our way to lunch, and I think it would be a blogger sin to pass by a PINK HOUSE without taking outfit pictures in front of it. And you gotta admit, the leopard print against the pink wall is a match made in a blogger's heaven.
