MMM or Celine. That is the TRUE question.

Ive been hooked on these four pieces for quiet a while now. I wasn't crazy about the whole fedora trend but its really starting to get to me. Saw one at H&M for 19.99$, thats a done deal.

Now. The hard stuff.
Maison Martin Margiela sweater with removable leather gloves *hallelujah* OR Celine leather cami. Found both on Yoox.com and CANT DECIDE.
God, I'm waiting for a signal. Or a clearance sale.... your pick.

where do i shop - boxing day edition

So, people. Boxing day was yesterday. Call me crazy but anyone who threw themselves in stores and made lines freezing outside are just MENTAL. For working in retail for the past 5 years, i tend to now consider myself an organized shopper and pretty good at recognizing a good deal.  In most store, you will find the crap merchandise that people didn't look at while doing their christmas shopping. That merchandise has been there all season, which is a few months....if no one picked it up until then, ask yourself why.
Boxing day is good for electronics, winter boots and coats. period.

Now, what my personal trick is ONLINE BOXING DAY. now were talking, much more choice and you can spot the items you like before and keep an eye on them. NO LINES, NO HASSEL.
My second trick is to go the 23-24th. Some stores will already be marked down so they don't all have to do it the morning of the 26th.
As for my last and favourite part, JUST GO TO NYC ! there is so many stores and merchandise, most of it is still left and by the 29-30th, they put additional discounts.
You'll thank me next year.

Dear Santa...or Justin,

I think I've been a pretty good girl this year. Ive been great with my family, I've treated my boyfriend like the king he is and I've been setting goals for myself and succeeding at them. Therefor, i think i might deserve a treat.
Here is my personal list of musts i need to continue being a happy girl. Yes, clothes make me happy. Call me materialistic but call me honest too !!! I don't think any of these are out of this world expensive and i probably will end up buying them myself... but you never know !
I am sure this is not the only christmas collage i will make in the next 10 days, but until then, here are my current obsessions.

If you haven't noticed, I'm also a lil too into monochrome.

BALLINciaga from Harlem

Good laugh at designers labels, these t shirts are a must right now. Just loving it. You can find them here 


3.1 Phillip Lim pre-fall 2013... and why am i going completely bananas

What is soooo exciting about this is that i NEVER get excited for pre-fall collections. It usually is like that salad you have before the big steak is coming. You'll eat a bit cause it was part of the table d'hôte but you're leaving most of the place for the main course.... 3.1 Phillip Lim usually makes me wanna starve myself for days so when THAT meal comes, ill even have dessert twice. Not so healthy but just soooo good. Not disappointed at all. Not only are all his looks wearable but they are also all street style pictures material. Pre-fall usually is also a lil cheaper than the main collection which I'm totalllyyyy ok with. Easy chic everyday pieces like the zipper sweaters in electric blue and nude and the leopard ensemble make me very happy about.. well, what will be out next year. Ahhh stay patient people !

Alexander Wang Pre-Fall 2013


I have two words for you : extremely....disappointing. what on earth is this ?! Every single looks screams been there, done that for Mr. Wang. He is usually the one show I'm DYING over and dream about his pieces at night... but seriously, very bof.  If you take his summer collection, were talking a WHOOOLE other level. Im talking inventive, minimalist genius ! You wanna wear every single dress and pair of shoes and exchange for every thing you own !!! but this....

 I very much understand a designer has a creative line to respect and a look for his clientele but

Tommy Ton does it better

as usual the best street styles out there 

High Gloss by Steven Meisel

Lately completely obsessed with Meisels work, I'm looking forward to find a good coffee table book of his work to had to my collection. Im seeing a Terry Richardson ambiance going on which i LOVE  but loving the fact that it wasn't him. Makes it so much better. Some people can do better than you Terry. Maybe sticking your dick everywhere doesn't help.

Victoria Secret Fashion Show


"SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND"...
A 2.5 MILLION $ BRA THAT IS ! 


As i read on twitter earlier : "I suddenly have the urge to run 5 miles, diet and buy sequins underwear". Damn right you do and so do I !
Been waiting for weeks considering I wasn't one of the lucky bloggers to attend the show backstage. After seeing their instagram pictures few weeks ago, the countdown has been long but here are my comments.

shoe obsession : the knee- high sandal


A tinny bit too excited about these for this summer. I WILL be rocking to Chelsea Paris and i will make it a life goal to get them. As it is obvious, Alexander Wang is my second choice offering us this season a number of structured beauties. If my budget would permit, i would throw in those golden Ferragamo for the thrill of it. For day time, the ancient greek sandals are just what you need for a modern gladiator with a twist.

where do i shop - BLACK FRIDAY EDITION



I think we can all agree this is pre-boxing day excitement people. Being the second biggest sale day after boxing day, black friday is happening everywhere and is just so worth it for to buy christmas gift (N.B. : self given present also count as that). Ive made here a little list of what i believe is the hottest spots to hit in Montreal tomorrow and through the weekend to get the best deals if your not lucky enough to run away to NY for the weekend.

working at that store, i know whats happening. From thursday 22nd to Sunday 25th we are hosting our seasonal charity event. By donating 20$ to Ronald McDonalds children's foundation, you will obtain 25% off on most of the store. THIS INCLUDES BALMAIN, ISABEL MARANT, MIU MIU.... watch out for the credit card damage !!

2. Holt Renfrew 
very good pre-sale deals, specially on shoes which has a great variety of designers at 40%. If you want classic everyday manolos, just run.
Always great to check out their windows too which are always adorable.
Its very good to know that they are open 8am to 9pm so you have aaaaall day to stop by. No excuse !!

Canadian top notch online retailer is known for its amazing sales. For working there also, i can tell you.... the price points are gonna be pretty worthy ! Sales is ON RIGHT NOW !

4. Cahier d'exercices
If you wanna get your paws on Rick Owens, Marni and possibly Celine from 25 to 50% off, its a must stop in the old port.  While you're in the old port, check out Denis Gagnon or Michel Brisson for Monsieur, you could be surprised !

5. Editorial Boutique 
My good friends at Editorial know wassup. Also great buys and most important GREAT DEALS. I'm sure their version of black friday will be a complete must. they are great for their 3 for 1 deals, 50% shoes or even 20$ racks. gotta get there early !

MIH•RWAR FASHION SHOW lasalle college

Very happy I attended this years Lasalle Fashion Show on Friday November 9th that showcased the fall/winter 2012-2013 collections of some of Quebecs hottest designers such as Philippe Dubuc, Pedram Karimi, Martin Lim, Melissa Nepton, Elisa C-Rossow, Anormal Couture, Hip and Bone and This Ilk. The fierce musical ambiance was by Christian Pronovost who literally made me jump from my seat a few times with his vehement beats. 
The main trend for the night was very monochrome, sober, structured statement pieces that made me gasp for air a few times and who my sister styled to perfection. Way to goooo girl !!
Special thumbs up to the finale with the black and white dresses facing each other as if they were a reflection. Simply stunning. 
As Borat would say: "Very Niceee... How much ? "

MIH•RWAR FASHION SHOW - OUTFIT

So last night was a very proud moment for I attended my baby sister's first fashion show at College Lasalle. Not your average students show I have to say!!! Her being the head stylist and me being a very judgmental sister, I had very high hopes for her and I'm just SOOO proud to scream to anyone that's my babygirl.
I love you Laurence and YOU FUCKING ROCK !!

Here's what I wore for the big night, went for a very tailored sober look with lots of detailing in the fabrics... Hope you guys enjoy it!
shoot out to my girl Myriam Nicole who shot very fast these few pics and who is officially hired as my to-go outfit photographer.
Post about the show will be on later tonight !!

Nicolas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga departure

One news that made my day a little greyer yesterday was learning through Twitter about Ghesquiere leaving the legendary house of Balenciaga after 15 years collaboration . His last collection was just weeks ago in Paris and this breaking news took over the social media fashion world in a heartbeat. He gave Style.com an interview after his latest runway - which turned out to be his last.

TRIPPEN - minimalist shoes at its best

Im literally trippin. This Germany based company offers every SINGLE pair of shoes i could possibly die to buy. this is almost insulting. i feel robbed. I'm predicting a total devoting to them for all my next statement shoes.  You can pick your leather colour from a very vast choice and most pair are being made to order, so you might wanna be patient to get your exclusive precious pair... still TOTALLY worth it.
 Im still debating which pair of boot to get in all these following but you can be certain that these white strappy sandals are MINE. 
For many more avant-gardiste styles, visit trippen.com

Maison Martin Margiela for H&M favourite picks

Only 10 short nights of tormented sleep until you can catch me at 4am with my ski suit waiting for my bracelet to get in my local H&M. Personally never been such a big fan of H&Ms limited collections-Stella McCartney and Karl Lagerfelds collections being the only exceptions, but Christmas is early for me this year. 
Talk about essential statement pieces.
