Follow my blog with bloglovin

I am really loving everything from fur accessories,vests to short fur coats.  Check out these great items from Harricana, a Montreal based company who uses recycled furs to create new items.  I love the concept and its environmentally friendly approach.  Here are some of my favorite items from their collection.  You can see these and more from  their collection on their webiste: http://www.harricana.qc.ca/.

Love the way that the vest is paired with a simple tee and lace up pants.  Similar faux fur vests can be found at Zara (see below).  Again it is paired with a simple top and leggings.  Let the vest speak for itself!

Lust Item: Gossip Girl Winter Coats

Winter coats in Montreal are a must, and since it is so long I invest in a couple.  A grey one is great since it can be worn with both black and brown clothing.  This one featured below on Serena from Gossip Girl is beautiful because of the intricate flower detail on the collar.  I love the one on Hilary Duff because it is classic black with a twist.  The ruffle detail is so cute!  Blair of course has the most stunning coat ever.  Gorgeous big collar with pleating on top and puffy at the bottom.
Your coat is usually the first thing people will see for 6 months and so I would recommend buying one which is unique and good quality (wool or cashmere).  My favorite brand is Mackage of course (Montreal based company) because of their great fit and fabrics.  Check out their newest collection: http://www.mackage.com/.  They even have a Sabrina coat !!!

 

Lust Item Of Week : Booties

I am loving these grey lace up booties and are a must for this time of the year.  They would look great paired with a short skirt or even jeans for a more casual look. The heel is not extremely high which makes them very wearable to work or to shop!

I have found a very similar pair at Winners for a great price (unfortunately cannot find a photo).  There are also similar options at Browns, a great pair from Michael Kors which are more rugged and sporty.

Lust Item of the week: Chain Link Bag

Chain link bags seem to be all the rage among celebs.  Many of them are sporting the classic Chanel  in black which is a timeless accessory. 

Check out LC's Chanel in a beige (great neutral color).

Even LC's BFF Lo Bosworth is also sporting her Chanel but in classic black with gold detailing.

However for the diva on somewhat of a budget, I've found one from Marc Jacobs which is a great alternative. It's called "The single" and may be found at Holt Renfrew in Montreal.

Lust Item of the Week

Check out this Mackage leather bomber. I love everything about it! The scarf collar and puffy sleeves are so unique and a fit that is to die for! It looks like the kind of leather that smells so good you are going to be sniffing it all day long. (Mackage is a family run Montreal based company who specialize in outerwear for the "trendy" shopper. Many of their coats can be found at Miss Swiss ( on St-Denis and another on Mt. Royal and also at Simmons).  Check out their website: http://www.mackage.com/

The leather bomber is a staple for Fall. It can be worn over jeans or even a nice dress, to work or on the weekends. If this one is too pricey there are always cheaper alternatives. I have seen one at Forever 21 ( which just opened on St. Catherine) that is also cute and at a fraction of the price.
