Finds


Peplum, chiffon & mint. Blouse soulmate.  

So, playing catch up after my mini-vacation has taken over my week pretty rapidly, and I'm only getting around to posting something for you today. I figured I should share a few of my Montreal finds, especially since they knocked a few items off my Spring wishlist. I unfortunately had a pretty crummy experience at Zara on my last day downtown, though, and I have got to say that it left me with a slightly sour taste regarding the store. Unfortunate but true! I also promise that I will get my butt outside for some outfits shots - it's becoming bearable out there and this weekend we spring ahead an hour, giving us a whole extra hour of light! Thank goodness.


A tiny trinket I have been wearing non-stop.

A studded collar blouse with a pleated back.


Experimenting with some arm wear, but I think I refuse to use the term "arm party".


The return of flats! Basic black to start.


A mint green flower pin on a superbly discounted comfy knit.


Bright red mary jane wedges.

Montreal

A few weeks ago I scurried off to the beautiful city of Montreal in order to get in a visit with one of my best pals and warm his new home. My friend J and I took took head, venturing by car to the fair french metropolis. Amazing meals, lots of walking, and many belly laughs summed up the trip, and I, of course, took photographic evidence of just about everything. If you have never been to Montreal (or even Canada), I highly recommend. Enjoy!


Away we go.

  
Ready to walk for 7 hrs straight. 


Beautiful streets.



Metro.




Pit stop!




Cocktails.




Homemade coq-a-vin for my birthday.




Beautiful hosts.




A happy girl.

Love Chronicles

 In one of my last posts I promised you guys some snippets from my trip down south, so I'm going to share a few of those today in my usual Friday photo feature. Perhaps we'll see another post or two outlining my adventures on the ocean, or perhaps I will abandon that idea like I did hemp necklaces in 2003 - we'll see. We've got a long weekend over here in Canada land, so I plan on getting lots of outfit shots in. I am also planning on revamping my Spring/Summer wardrobe and actually packing away the Winter stuff. I've never really done that before, but this time around I just want the Winter stuff out of sight. Happy weekend, all!



A sparkling mojito (champagne + gin? Yeah, okay!).


Some flags at the market in downtown St. Thomas.




Simpler times.



Eating my greens.


Set the sails.


Real coconut cookies (oh man).


Dressed up for dinner.


The ocean. It truly cures all.
