Meet the Kooples

French fashion-house The Kooples has one of the best marketing techniques I know.

Getting real life, drop-dead gorgeous couples to dress up in their well tailored clothes (designed to share with your other half), talking about their cute little (and insanely hip) love affair has got me inspired and dreamy.

Brie and baguette, c'est la vie!

Sunsets on Parc Ave. are always a delight.

At first, Jana and I were unfazed by the cold as we wandered abstractly up the mountain.

 Passing people walking their dogs and sharing generous swigs out of a cheap bottle of wine, we were happy to be out in the woods again. We clambered up into a tree and there we sat, eating brie and baguette, reminiscing on summer. Not too long after becoming comfortable, we realized we were extremely cold and stumbled down from our perch as fast as we could. 

We warmed up by watching a film in my bed and drinking gourmet homemade hot cocoa.

(recipe's coming soon)

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

Don't get me wrong. I love being a girl. 

My closet consists mostly of lace, chiffon, velvet, and silk. 

My favourite colour is blush.

My favourite flavour is lavender.

I'm pretty fucking girly.

But when it comes to men's style, I could go on forever.

Slightly obsessed.

autumnal

Have been infatuated with this song and video for weeks. 

I leave for New York in six days. Even with the amount that I travel I always think I am immune to packing, and hate doing it early, so it's usually done the day of. But since it seems as though all my friends have left our humble stomping grounds, and life has taken an abrupt halt since this busy whirlwind of a summer, there's not much to do around here. I might actually be a responsible adult and start thinking ahead of time about what to bring. Maybe then I won't end up with 17 dresses and one pair of pants like in San Francisco. It wasn't even dress wearing weather. 

P.S. Bonny's dumb and is too busy eating poutine in Montreal to attend to this thing at the moment. Just kidding, she's actually one of the smartest girls I know, she just has a poutine problem.
