The Perfect Match

Jumper - ZARA, Shirt - old H&M, Jeans - GAP, Coat - vintage (SIMILAR), Boots - OFFICE
Location: Mile End, Montreal

Fashion is a funny thing. Sometimes I can struggle to create interesting combinations and other times an outfit can come together as if by fate. Well that is exactly what happened with this one and there is nothing more satisfying than finding some pieces that work so perfectly together. After weeks of being surrounded by vintage clothes at work I had a sudden craving to hit the high street to buy something new, something easy to find and something more expensive. As much as I love vintage and thrift shopping (as discussed in last Monday's BARGAIN POST), it is certainly important to get out of that vintage bubble from time to time and see what the high street has to offer. Gap, which is not somewhere that I normally shop, and Zara, which I am obsessed with, came up absolute trumps and I am so excited to share this outfit.

I have been wanting some of Gap's light blue straight leg jeans for ages and often when I obsess over something in particular for so long, it ends up being a disappointment, but not these jeans. They are so comfortable, the length is perfect and the wash goes beautifully with this silver or "metallic grey" knit. I have been looking for a soft, velvet nineties style jumper like this and after seeing a few misshapen ones in vintage shops, Zara answered my prayers by offering not one but three versions of this knit (and yes I totally bought the rich gold version too!). 

I thought that if I was going to buy a super trend-based piece, it might as well be jumper that will keep me warm and on trend during the harsh and imminent Canadian winter. I love the knit's cropped length and it looks great layered over a crisp white shirt for the perfect clash of textures and styles. The velvet fabric means there are different tones of grey and silver running through the jumper which allows you to dress it up or down depending on your mood! Today I am embracing the silver with the addition of my favourite silver boots, which also look so good with the light wash of these jeans, and tying everything together with that blue faux fur coat whose teddy bear material adds another welcome element to this total mishmash of textures. I am absolutely loving this outfit, especially how it came together so naturally, and I cannot wait to wear this knit through party season too!

I hope you have a great day and let me know what you're loving on the high street right now!

La mode, c'est bizarre. Des fois j'ai mal à créer une combinaison intéressante et d'autres fois je trouve qu'une tenue peut se créer comme s'il était du destin. C'est exactement ce qui s'est passé avec ce look du jour et c'est très satisfaisant de trouver des pièces qui vont si bien ensemble. Après avoir été entouré des vêtements vintage ces dernières semaines, j'ai eu envie de faire du shopping du grand public pour acheter quelque chose neuve, dans un magasin simplement rangé et pour dépenser plus d'argent. Même si j'aime trop des friperies (comme je vous en ai parlé dans la poste de lundi dernier), il est important d'échapper de la bulle vintage et regarder dans les magasins du grand public. Gap, où je n'y vais pas très souvent, et Zara, que j'aime trop, ont fait merveille et je suis trop contente de vous partager cette tenue.

Ça fait trop longtemps que j'ai envie d'un jean droit bleu clair de chez Gap et souvent, quand j'obsède d'une pièce, au final je suis déçue - mais pas avec ce jean! Il est tellement confortable, sa longueur est parfaite et sa couleur va super bien avec ce pull argenté. Je cherchais un pull en velours de ce style nineties et j'en ai trouvé quelques uns des dans friperies mais ils étaient toujours difforme. Zara exauce mes prières en offrant ce pull en trois couleurs - et j'avoue que j'ai pris le doré aussi!

Je me disais que si j'allais acheter une pièce super tendance, il fallait prendre un pull pour me garder chaud et à la mode pendant l'hiver de Canada. J'aime trop la longueur crop de ce tricot et il va super bien sur une chemise blanche pour un mélange parfait de textures et de styles. Grâce à la matière de velours, il y a plusieurs nuances de gris et d'argent qui vous permettent de mettre le pull en mode journée ou soirée selon l'envie. Je suis fan d'argent du coup j'ai ajouté mes bottes argentées, qui vont super bien aussi avec la couleur du jean, et j'ai fini la tenue avec mon manteau en fausse fourrure bleue pour ajouter un autre texture à ce mélange. J'aime beaucoup ce look, surtout comment il s'est créé tout naturellement, et j'ai hâte de mettre ce pull pendant la saison de fête!

Passez une super bonne journée et dites-moi ce que vous aimez chez les magasins du grand public en ce moment!

Velvet Trousers

VELVET TROUSERS - VINTAGE (SIMILAR), T-SHIRT - OLD, BOOTS - OFFICE, LEATHER JACKET - OLD ASOS (SIMILAR), SUNGLASSES - RAY BAN, CHOKER - ASOS
LOCATION: VIEUX-PORT, MONTREAL

Oh what a difference a couple of weeks can make. I shot this look on a pretty hot autumnal day just at the beginning of October and since then, the temperature has seriously dropped here in Montreal. I am currently sitting in my cold apartment wearing a thermal jumper and leggings under my jeans - glamourous, I know - pining for the sun after three days of non-stop rain. Although I do absolutely love winter and the layers, coats and faux fur that come with it, this outfit is certainly now only a reminder of warmer days but I thought I would share it anyway for those of you still experiencing the last of the Indian summer. 

I love this outfit - it is such a cool and comfy look that gives a few nods to the AW16 trends. I don't know what it is about velvet but as soon as October hits, I am all over that shizz, searching high and low for the perfect soft but sassy pieces. These amazing velvet trousers just fell into my hands at the vintage shop where I am working and it was love at first sight. They are perfect autumn/winter update from the ever-so-popular plissée wide leg versions from the summer while being that bit warmer and party season appropriate. I am so excited to style these up for some more wintery looks but today I have gone for a simple old band slogan tee, my trusty leather jacket and those silver boots that will continue to look even more perfectly festive next to these crushed velvet trousers as we get deeper into winter.

What pieces are you searching for this season? Are you digging velvet for autumn/winter?

Oh comment ça change dans quelques semaines...On a shooté cette tenue une journée d'automne assez chaud il y a deux semaines et depuis ce jour-là, la température baisse gravement à Montréal. Actuellement, je suis assise dans mon appartement froid en portant un pull chaud et un legging sous mon jean - le glamour, je sais - et j'ai envie du soleil après quelques jours de pluie incessante. Même si j'aime trop l'hiver et la mode de couche, des manteaux et de la fausse fourrure, cette tenue est maintenant un rappel des jours plus chauds mais je voulais vous la partager quand même.

Je kiffe cette tenue - elle est tellement cool, confortable et super tendance pour automne/hiver 2016. Je ne sais pas pourquoi mais chaque année dès qu'on est en octobre, je suis toujours obsédé par du velours et je cherche partout pour des pièces fabriquées en cette matière toute douce. J'ai trouvé ce pantalon en velours magnifique dans la friperie où je travaille en ce moment et je l'ai trop aimé tout de suite. Il est une mise à jour parfaite pour automne/hiver après la version plissée et légère qui était si populaire cet été. J'ai hâte de mettre ce pantalon pour un look plus hivernal mais aujourd'hui, je porte un t-shirt slogan simple, mon perfecto préféré et ces bottes argentées qui continueront de paraître de plus en plus festives avec ce pantalon en velours alors qu'on avance vers l'hiver.

Quelles pièces cherchez-vous cette saison? Vous êtes aussi obsédé par du velours?
