The Jean Jacket

Jean Jacket: H&M / Skirt: Target / Hat: F21 / Scarf: Joe Fresh / Boots: Michael Kors

The time is here! I can finally start wearing my favourite spring item, the jean jacket! Even if I have to layer on my furry scarf and my wool hat, I'm going for it, frockers. I've also incorporated a little floral skirt to drive the point home, it's time for spring fashion and we ain't lookin' back!

I haven't had much time lately for my usual browsing and shopping around town so when I finally made it out to the mall one late Friday evening, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the semi-annual Zara sale was still in full force. As I walked into the store the first thing I spotted was these beige suede beauties (real suede and not the faux stuff!). As I flipped over the tag to reveal the 40$ sale price, I could feel the endorphins releasing in my body. I was stuck dragging these boots around the whole store with me as I browsed the entirety of the sale collection and periodically stopped at each mirror to try them on over and over again to be sure of my decision. Despite the fact that I sometimes feel my legs are too short to really pull off the over-the-knee boot, I just couldn't leave these behind. They are now tucked away safely in my closet as we await the disappearance of all signs of snow and moisture...can't wait! 

The Statement Coat

My outerwear saga would not be complete without this statement coat I picked up at Value Village for five bucks. Yeah that's right. Five. Dollars. Despite some hesitation in the limited styling potential of this baby, at that price, I just had to snap it up.

The bright fuchsia, the over-sized sleeves...no doubt about it, this coat is probably the most unique piece in my winter wardrobe. I opted to pair it with a maroon cloche I picked up in Korea and black boots, gloves and turtleneck. You don't want to overwhelm a look like this with too many crazy colours or accessories. This coat speaks for itself!

I recently went down to Vermont for the first time and for those of you who have never been, just imagine the cutest, quaint, little countryside you've ever seen and double that. It was just miles and miles of red barns, wooden fences and covered bridges. We just missed the foliage peak season, but there were still some breath-taking views! What better attire for a brisk, road-trip getaway than in a flowing pink skirt paired with brown knee-high boots, cream-coloured fuzzy sweater and wool jacket.

The grey and soggy seasons of March and April mean one thing to Montrealers: sugar shack! We forego the comforts of central heating and cell reception to spend a brisk weekend afternoon with friends, flirting dangerously with diabetes and heart disease.

Our company has a spring outing every year and this year, we went to a sugar shack outside of the city. It was on this crisp April afternoon that Debbie and I decided to plunge into the world of self-proclaimed stylistas and launch our blog. It was a chilly, chilly day, but god was I going to rock that fur-lined cape and never look back.
