There's a new shopping hotspot in town!  Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013 marked the grand opening of L'Atelier 1958, a truly “first-ever” concept in Montreal.  This is not just a regular boutique.  This is a dedicated in-store concept - carrying unique one-of-a-kind fashion pieces at incredibly low prices.  L'Atelier 1958 is an on-going, deluxe sample room with new merchandise arriving every week. And unlike regular sample sales… there are no messy tables or bins to dig through.  Everything is beautifully merchandised and displayed just as in a luxury boutique.

That time of the year again, when flowers bloom and fashion colours spring back to life. Love the colour of this double breasted Trench spotted downtown Montreal.

The Fashion Society is the new kid on the block, having been around for about a year now. Yet the company has grown relatively fast, thanks to the team that makes up The Fashion Society and the programs they have implemented to propel their growth.

In 2013, I plan on having at least one fashion photo-shoot a month or at least 12 fashions shoots in the year. Early January 2013, I teamed up with several Montreal artists and one beautiful model.

Should I change my skincare routine? Outdoor winter fun, but my skin is not laughing?

Intimidated by the cold winter weather? Wondering if you should change your skincare routine? You don’t know where to begin?

In the winter months, its not just luck or genetics that keeps skin luminous. It’s all about using the right products at the right time - adjusting skin care routines to deal with the natural change in seasons. For example cleansing in the cold winter months, cleansing is important - specially at night. However, you want to cleanse at night only and simply splash water on your face in the morning.

One of Montreal’s very own fashion designers, Hinda A., revealed her Winter 2012 collection at Boutique Symbiose in the Old Port this week. The very intimate cocktail evening proved to be worthwhile, as everything about this collection lived up to fashion's highest standards.

Fashion and seasons have a great synergy, especially the autumn and winter trends. I often tell clients that seasonal changes always affect how our skin and hair, look and feel. Much like a once beautiful sweater; your skin cannot be fixed to look new again, once it has had too much wear and tear.
