Seasons Greetings from Trinidad! I'm spending the Holiday Season in the land of sun and sand, and I'm quite ecstatic to spend some well-deserved R&R with my family. I normally equate this time of year with snowmen and hot coco but I'm enjoying being surrounded by the palm trees and the sunshine. Hopefully I could get a sun-kissed glow and pick-up a little Trini lingo! Wishing you all a joyous,

Some making-of take themselves sooooooo seriously! Not at Montreal In Fashion. Even though the first editorial issue, LBDvs.LSD, could be described as stark and stern, the behind-the-scenes were pure silliness and full of knee-slapper fun.  You'll exclusively see: plenty of comical faces, talks of flatulence, and rubbish ranting! Also, I seem to have a serious case of the yawns. I dare you not

Hello Luvhelees! Yesterday, I brought you the second Montreal In Fashion editorial featuring lingerie-meets-menswear festive Holiday looks from some of my fave local labels.  As you recall, a few weeks ago, I posted MiF's very first editorial photoshoot and motion editorial titled LBDvs.LSD.  With less than two weeks to X-Mas, I'm in a jolly spirit of giving. I would therefore love to

Don't we all love a healthy debate. I know I do. I remember in high school, much to my schoolmate's chagrin, I was always the first to rebut my opinions! That's why I gladly accepted miss SLY's invite to be a panelist for her Fashion [Unfold] December edition. My friend, MissSLY being the savvy business woman that she is, created a monthly fashion debate series where she regroups bloggers (like

  I once received one of the most flattering compliments to which I'm still blushing as we speak (or more as you read!) Fellow fashion blogger Danishaz from L'essentiel e(s)t l'accessoire tweeted that I resembled Shala Monroque with the picture above in attachment. Say whaaaat now?! Meeeee???

LOVE   [luhv] noun A profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. A feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection. Sexual passion or desire.  Love is a universal language that crosses all boundaries. We all innately have it to give and all desire it fervently. Just think of the multitude of movies, songs, and poems that have been written

After Versace (have you recovered yet?), luxewear Marni, another Italian brand, collabs with the Swedish makers of fast fashion by bringing a women's and men's Spring 2012 collection which hits stores March 8, 2012.

I fully understand the meaning behind Watch The Throne. While admiring JayZ and Kanye West kick it with lyric after lyric from their collaborative album and individual hits, I was moved with marvel by these two men that are truly living their dreams. Respectively overcoming destitution and internal demons, the rap giants showed why going H.A.M. always pays off. The highlight of the

I can barely calm my palpitations! In a couple of hours I'm going to see the person I call my G.O.D - yep I said! Kanye West and JayZ are playing at the Bell Centre for their Watch The Throne concert and I'm squealing like a school girl.

Along with Montreal In Fashion's inaugural editorial LBDvs.LSD, I was feeling mighty creative (and ambitious I must add!) and created a motion editorial to accompany the still images. Ouff! A long time coming and I'm tickled pink by the result. A trillion kisses and hugs to photog Amy Lee for creating the video and to Cath Martin for the beauty xxoxx. It's my first foray in fashion filming

WHIMSICALLY BOLD. The name of the Stila custom-made colour palette designed by moi! Last week, a couple of bloggettes and I were invited by the cosmetic line to discover and drool over their pretty dazzly Holiday 2011 collection.  I chose the name Whimsically Bold for my love of blending opposite beauty elements. For instance, I'm a real girly girl and I feel equally feminine wearing my BF's

If I told you why I was out in the middle of the night on busy St-Jacques Street, you simply wouldn't believe me. My impromptu nocturnal escapade turned into flashing lights. I'm enthralled with my ivory knit dress that I shared with you from the Vintage Mart Sale last week. It's simply the best of both worlds, the color is angelic, but the cut is fierce! Coupled with my

It actually began about two years ago after a trip to beauty-heaven Pharmaprix, I came back home with two new polishes that I was dying to try on.

Follow @MtlInFashion I once asked Jeanne Beker her take on the future of fashion.

With warm weather finally with us, brings an undeniable urge to forgo hermit life and festively socialize in hip and happening hubbubs. If you haven't done so already, you should definitely visit PHILLIPS LOUNGE which in my opinion is Montreal's best kept secret. A resto lounge like no other where you can indulge in delicious meals, savor stylish cocktails all the while admire alluring artwork.

Did you know that the month of May is NATIONAL SALAD MONTH? Until recently, neither did I!Most likely celebrated in Spring as we tend to eat lighter as the weather gets warmer. Regardless of the time of year, I really enjoy a hearty salad as they aren't only for dire dieters or even strict vegans/vegetarians (though the latter appeals to me as my quest for non-animal by products remains steadily
