MTLFW#25: Closet confession -Blossoming Blooms

For day  3 4 of FW, I wanted to catch the last glimpses of the summer's sun rays. I wanted to be girly and so a fun, colorful floral print seemed apropos (hmm, perhaps *Rush Couture*'s show presented the night before has something to do with it!) 

I neutralized my outfit with tan accessories for balance. I wanted to ofset my cutesy floral  look with bold, plum lips.

Vintage printed dress & bucket bag, thrifted belt & shoes. Matthew Williamson cuff bracelet. BEAUTY NOTES & SCENT:-Lips  Service: Revlon Super Lustrous in Black Cherry. Clinique Happy fragrance.

MTLFW#25: Closet confession (day 1, for me anyway)

I did tactfully hint that this Montreal Fashion Week edition was more eventful off-site than it was on, with the real action taking place in museum and fashion schools all in one day.

Still on a less is more state of mind (and with my numerous runarounds that day), comfort was key for such a hectic but fun fashion schedule. I wanted my vintage leather skirt to be looks' pièce de résistance. I gave it a grunge-y feel during daytime with a cropped plaid shirt and a bright fire-red lipstick. I then took my outfit from day to night with yet another short top but with pink lips this time. 

   Olivia light flannel shirt, vintage bucket bag & belt, Opening Ceremony striped top, Miss Mak clutch, Miss Cocotte necklace, BCBGeneration pumps, thrifted leather skirt. BEAUTY NOTES-Lips Service left: MAC lipstick in Ruby Woo; right: Maybelline New Vivids lipstick in Fuchsia Flash. Maison Lavande eau de corps perfume for day; Yves Saint-Laurent Manifesto fragrance for night.

MTLFW: !Nu.I's Fringe with beneFITS!

On the last day of Montreal's 21st edition of Fashion Week, designer Vickie Joseph invited us media folks along with other fashion insiders and aficionados for the unveiling of her latest !Nu.I collection during a glamourous cocktail.

After turning heads at its first appearance last spring, the designer astonished once again with a racy collection themed "Lady Savage".

The collection was without a doubt my favorite of the week. What drew me to it were the Afrocentric & Americana elements, from the fringes to the Navajo prints that I'm really into nowadays: "My choice of patterns and shades of color for this collection was inspired by the superb decor with Moroccan accents of a hotel I stayed in recently", explains Vickie, who combined bold floral and animal designs to saturated electric blue and vivid pink. And the sweet combo of leopard and neon coral was beyond proper! I was captivated by it!!

  Joseph's vision and visual concept were overseen by fellow Montreal In Fashion blogger and good friend Candice Pantin, who can now add Art Director to her fabulous resume! 

Oh, and a special shout out to the mastermind behind the gorgeous tasseled earrings and collar necklaces jewels, my good friend Myrtho Clermont for OUI EHFAR!! 

.

Without a doubt, those who want to distinguish themselves will be thrilled with this audacious !Nu.I by Vickie collection.
