Boudoir 1861

Recently, the Bouquet of Frocks girls attended the official launch of the brand new Boudoir 1861 boutique. We already loved the original 1861 boutique and it only seemed natural that they would expand and open a sister store that was specialized in all your bridal fashion necessities. The wedding gowns themselves are so lovely and romantic and more importantly, affordable to the average Montreal girl. They have all the necessary bridal accessories you could think of and even some selections for bridal parties. In keeping with the image of the 1861 brand, the boutique has that perfectly vintage and romantic decor which is so undeniably charming. The event also featured the usual array of tasty hors d'oeuvres but most memorable was the live music provided by Shy Shy Schullie, a local musician who specializes in burlesque style retro tunes that just warm your heart. Definitely a great evening. 

Boudoir 1861 is located at:

Sequin Joggers

Pants: Marc Cain / Coat: TJ Maxx / Booties: Target / Hat: Zara / Bag: Old Navy

Nothing says holiday swagger like a pair of sequin joggers, amirite? These pants are a real special piece and I'm obsessed with them. During this time of year I lean towards cozy, comfortable clothing and this lets me have that while still feeling super glam. I've never been one to leave the house in jogging pants but these are definitely the exception!

AG Jeans + Alexa Chung + billie = Denim Heaven

A few days ago, the ladies of Bouquet of Frocks had a chance to catch the new Alexa Chung/AG Jeans clothing collection at our local billie boutique right here in Montreal. It was an evening of music, makeup and fashion. The winner of the night had to be a killer denim number with the flouncy neckline that Debbie and I really drooled over... A button-down denim mini-dress also caught our eye along with some of the softest jeans I've ever felt! No doubt about it, denim is a wardrobe must and it's always fun to see what kind of new details and silhouettes designers come up with!

                                                

The National Women's Show

This weekend, the Palais de Congres in Montreal is hosting The National Women's Show and Jackie and I decided to check it out. The show featured countless vendor stations which covered various themes: fashion, beauty, health, food, wellness and more. We had a pleasant time just strolling around checking out all the products and enjoying tons of free food samples. There were also stations where ladies could also enjoy a quick manicure or a even hair session. Jackie and I even picked up a few new makeup products and I came home with so many great tea samples as well...you can never have enough of either! So if you are looking for something to do tomorrow, I suggest checking it out.

This is the End

Scarf: Joe Fresh / Coat: Zara / Pants: Smart Set / Booties: Target / Hat: Thrifted

...Or at least I hope this is the end! For now, I'm wearing my favourite white coat from Zara, it is so light compared to most of my winter coats and so it literally feels like the weight of winter has been lifted when I wear it. Luckily, we are starting to see some warmer weather in the forecast so hopefully we can start fresh with some vibrant spring attire. I just can't wait! 

The New Club Monaco!

This week, Bouquet of Frocks attended a special private event to celebrate the grand opening of the new Club Monaco store in Montreal. The store, previously located a block away, has undergone a major facelift. The space, the apparel and the merchandising was absolutely stunning. If you haven't visited the new location yet, it's definitely worth checking out!
