It’s the time of the season / Festival Fashion
It's the time of the season - my favorite time, in fact. With so many summer music festivals upon us, we've decided to do a little preliminary round up with three days of outfit inspiration for your long days of indie clapping. Day one: 3.1 Phillip Lim tank with Current/Elliott denim cutoffs and Supergas sneakers. Day two: Isabal Marant romper and Maje fringe, cropped leather jacket for transitioning into evening. Day three: Strapless maxi dress by Zimmermann with denim, studded vest over the dress and Acne boots. For jewelry, try out some Dannijo. -
Bloggers Izzy & Virginie / Exploring the Mile End with Annex Vintage
Montreal's heat wave brought some awesome fashion to the streets this month. Bloggers Izzy (Yeye Style blog) and Virginie (Virginie's Cinema) of Quebec City are certainly no exception. It comes as no surprise that they are both wearing a lot of vintage. -
Cutoff Shorts for Spring, Vancouver Street Style
Shoulder season aka 'Sprinter' it may be but I couldn't resist trying out my mint cut off shorts with leggings today. It was the perfect day, wandering around Gastown after the rain (luckily) died down. These shorts were a stretch today but they will be the perfect easy look come the warmer days of Spring and Summer. -
Pastel Penchant
There's no doubt that this trend of pastels will be held in as high regard as neon was last summer, which means by this time next year, we will be right on to a new colour trend. In the mean time, we can't possibly ignore our craving for sweet confections. Leather jacket: Acne, Chambray Shirt: Madewell, Mint Silk Pants: Wilfred, Scalloped Edge Satchel: Asos, Heels: Louis Vuitton, Mint Spike Flats: Asos, Cuffs: Dannijo, Nail polish: Essie. -
Necessary Necessities for Transitioning into >> Spring
Wondering what to wear on those in-between days that don't feel like Winter but don't quite feel like Spring yet either? It's a great time to break free from heavy layers and go for some lighter ones instead. Try a classic denim leather combo with jean jacket and booties, both by Acne. Opt for a shorter sleeve or quarter length if the weather allows you to (this one by Wilfred), a lighter coloured denim that feels oh-so Spring (Current/Elliott), a pop of colour in your accessories (the much-needed Balenciaga bag) and sleek cuffs that don't read contrived (this one by Asos). -
Vintage Coat / Exploring the Mile End with Annex Vintage
In Montreal, it generally feels like the winter will never end. This past week blessed our street stylin' Montrealers with some amazing weather, which made for some pretty cool street style pics. Here Rebecca is wearing her vintage coat from Winnipeg and Dr. Martens. -
Spring Fever / What I’m Craving
Spring is upon us and I'm getting excited to break free from the winter layers. Here are a few pops of colour and print to inspire you for the upcoming season. The Drapey Trench: Put a spin on the classic trench with a fluid fabric and unstructured style. Mary Katrantzou for TopShop: Already obsessed with her hyper realist aesthetic and bold graphics, I nearly died when I found out she's doing a diffusion line for TopShop Canada. The Cambridge Satchel: these double-buckled satchels are extra tempting, especially in bright neon shades. Pastel Jeans: Perfect for easy spring days. Dannijo's Medine bib: to add some interest to that plain t-shirt. -
Outside Chesky’s Bakery / Exploring the Mile End with Annex Vintage
Here Annex Vintage captures the beauty of the moment. Nina and Phoebe were spotted outside Chesky's Bakery on Bernard Street of Montreal's Mile End, munching on freshly purchased croissants and deep in conversation. Nina's squiggle ring was spontaneously gifted to her by an old man in a cafe in Florence, Italy. -
Pastel Jeans, Vancouver Street Style
Spring's just around the corner and it's feeling more than welcome what with all the beautiful pastels and prints that have been popping up in stores as of late. It may not be Spring yet but I couldn't resist taking my pastel jeans out for a Spring preview today. Jeans: Gap, Jacket & Bag: Rudsak, Hat & Scarf: Aritzia, Sneakers: Converse -
DIY / Exploring the Mile End with Annex Vintage
A little DIY gift from a friend in New York never hurt! We love Anne-Sophie's vintage style and DIY pink/blue faux rosary that she just received in the mail. Boots are by Annex Vintage and the rest is vintage of an unknown origin. Sunglasses by Marc Jacobs. -
Fox Tail / Exploring the Mile End with Annex Vintage
Style is in the details. That's why we love Katherine's recycled fox tail peaking out from her bag. It's by Montreal's Rachel F Design (www.rachelf.ca). Another stylish detail is her amazing hat, which was her Dad's first communion hat from over 40 years ago. -

The new way to wear perfume, Mary Katrantzou dress
Most of us have been lusting after the perfume bottle Mary Katrantzou dress for many seasons but seeing it on the streets makes it much more so. What she has succeeded in her most recent seasons is wearable pieces that just about any girl can put on including knit dresses, leggings and cardigans. -
Cambridge Satchel, Street Style
We love the Cambridge Satchel for its utility and function but even more so because it looks fab slung over your shoulder and paired with just about any outfit. And at $170, it's your next purchase waiting to happen. It's definitely the coolest bag most fashionable ladies can reasonably afford to buy. -

Get into the Layering Game!
Fall weather keeps us on our toes - from balmy days to cold, you always need to be prepared for whatever mother nature might bring your way. It's also why Fall is one of our most loved seasons. It means we get to wear layered looks that look cute no matter how many you put on or take off.
