Keeping It Simple

It's Monday and as always things are all go go go here in Montreal. We just had a wonderful weekend down in Boston - more on that later in the week - and now it is back to reality and I am all about super simple outfits for days of running errands. When there are jobs to be hunted, an apartment to be cleaned and painted and furniture to be bought, all I can think about is throwing on a simple stripes and jeans combo and finishing off the look with my trusty Converse, a baker boy hat and red lips for good measure.

What are your go to pieces when you just need a simple outfit for busy busy days?

C'est lundi et comme d'habitude, il y a plein de choses à faire aujourd'hui à Montréal. Lewis et moi avons passé un super bon week-end à Boston - dont je vous parle plus tard dans la semaine - et maintenant, je retourne à la réalité dans une tenue super simple. Quand il faut chercher d'emploi, nettoyer et peindre l'appartement et acheter des meubles, je ne peux que penser à mettre des rayures et un jeans avec des Converses, une casquette marine et un rouge à lèvres rouge pour finir.

Quelles sont vos pièces essentielles pour une tenue simple?

Stripes, Naturally.

Location: Barceloneta, Barcelona

I have been racking my brains for something interesting to say about this outfit; however, I think that because this outfit came so naturally to me, without requiring much thought, perhaps that it why I have little to say.

I picked up this super cute striped dress in Zara recently when on search of monochrome pieces for a YouTube lookbook that I am working on. I was instantly drawn to it, of course because of the stripes but also because of its sixties style mini length and collar detailing. Naturally, I paired it with my black Chelsea boots, fun tassel socks and a baker boy cap.

Also have you noticed that I am wearing a bag in these photos?! What a rarity I know! Being a shoe person, I hardly ever buy bags but I thought this vintage cross body one went perfectly with this leather laden sixties look.

What outfits just come naturally to you?

Je cherchais quelque chose de spécial à dire sur ce look mais je pense que la raison pour laquelle je n’ai pas beaucoup d’idées est parce que c’est un look vraiment ‘moi’ – il ne fallait pas en penser trop pour le créer.

J’ai pris cette robe à rayures super mignonne chez Zara quand je cherchais des pièces monochromes pour un lookbook YouTube sur lequel je travaille. Immédiatement, je l’ai kiffée – bien sûr grâce aux rayures mais aussi parce qu’elle est du style sixties avec sa forme mini et ses détails de col. Naturellement, j’ai mis la robe avec mes bottines Chelsea, des chaussettes fun frangées et une casquette.

Vous remarquez que je porte un sac à main dans ces photos?! C’est rare je sais! Moi, je préfère acheter des chaussures, du coup je n’ai presque jamais des nouveaux sacs à vous montrer dans des photos. Cependant, je pense que ce sac vintage va bien parmi ce look sixties en cuir.

Quels looks portez-vous facilement, sans penser trop à les créer?

Sailor Stripes, Ruffles And Denim

Top - ZARA, Skirt - URBAN OUTFITTERS, Shoes - CONVERSE, Cap - KILO SHOP
Location: Barcelona Marina

What trends are always massive in spring and summer? That's right, stripes and denim. Throw in SS16 trend newbie ruffles and we have today's outfit. I picked up this adorable striped ruffle t-shirt top (among other things) on a recent visit to Zara to settle my ever-growing panic of not having anything to wear. 

I think this top is going to be my easy throw on top this spring because it is just super versatile. Here I have paired it with a wardrobe staple, the button down denim skirt, but it will look equally good with some skinny jeans or cut off shorts. As this look is quite relaxed, I just added my much loved (read: scruffy) Converse and a baker boy cap. 

What are your turn-to pieces this spring?

Quelles sont les plus grandes tendances chaque printemps et été? Oui, des rayures et du denim. On ajoute la nouvelle tendance de ruches et voilà, vous avez ce look du jour. J'ai acheté ce haut chez Zara pour régler ma panique d'avoir rien à porter.

Je pense que ce haut deviendra le haut que je mettrai beaucoup en printemps parce qu'il ira avec plein de pièces. Aujourd'hui, je l'ai mis avec un must-have de votre placard, une jupe en jean bouttonné, mais je sais qu'il ira super bien avec un jean skinny ou un short déchiré. Vu que ce look est déjà décontracté, J'ai fini ce outfit en mettant mes Converse adorés (ou usés!) et une casquette marine.

Quelles sont vos pièces must-have ce printemps?

Parisian Rooftops

So Paris Fashion Week – and fashion month – has just finished and what a season it has been! For one of my days in Paris, I pulled out the clichés and wore my new pink beret and a marinière. I say cliché, but in fact the striped sailor top is an important part of French history. Originally the official undergarment of the French Navy, the striped sailor jersey gradually infiltrated the fashion world thanks to Gabrielle Chanel adopting this workwear garment paired with loose trousers as her resort-wear look. So thanks Chanel babes because I do love myself some stripes. 

I am feeling pretttttty smug about this backdrop. There are not many people who have friends whose bedroom window opens onto the beautiful Parisian rooftops with an uninterrupted view of the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides. So I had to take full advantage whilst staying with the gorgeous Bella at the weekend and quickly capture my outfit full of clichés.

Et voilà, c’est fini Fashion Week de Paris – et le mois des Fashion Weeks aussi ! – et c’était une saison super ! Pour une de mes journées à Paris, j’ai mis plein de clichés avec une marinière et mon nouveau béret rose. Je dis un cliché mais en fait le pull marin est un symbole important dans l’histoire française. A l’origine, il était le sous-vêtement officiel de la Marine Française. Cependant, progressivement la marinière s’est infiltré dans la mode grâce à Gabrielle Chanel qui l’aimait porter pour son look détendu avec un pantalon ample. Alors je vous remercie Chanel parce que je kiffe des rayures!

Je me sens suffisante avec le fond de ces photos. Ce n’est pas tout le monde qui connait quelqu’un dont leur fenêtre de chambre s’ouvre sur les toits de Paris avec une vue ininterrompu de la Tour Eiffel et Les Invalides. Du coup, il fallait profiter en prenant des photos pendant que je suis restée chez Bella le weekend dernier.
