<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Hello readers,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">once upon a time, there were young adolescents who turned into young adults... Between the transition came a part/full-time job and a fascination for clothes, outings, etc... Then the time came to set a <u><span style="color: #ea9999;"><b>BUDGET</b></span></u>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Setting yourself a budget in your 20's is pretty hard; you want the latest clothes from your favorite stores, hit the trendiest lounges and bistros in the old town, pay your bills, travel and transfer half of your paycheck in your savings account...All at the same time. It's doable....Right?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Not without a budget...</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> In order to properly survive, following is a list of my personal tips in order to avoid any kind of financial mid 20 crash:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> <span style="color: #ea9999;">★ Avoid your credit card // Carry money</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Set yourself a weekly monetary budget and avoid your credit card. Or better yet, don't carry it with you! When you get your paycheck, assign an "x" amount of money to spend and let that be your ultimate limit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">★ Split your bills</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Don't wait until the end of the month to pay all of your bills. Give yourself assigned bills for each pay and get it over with! This way you'll be left with a set amount of money in order to plan the rest out.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">★ Leave some for fun</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Let's be honest. We can't deprive ourselves from absolutely everything even though we're running on a budget. Give yourself a fixed amount to spend on pleasure: shopping, spontaneous road trip, etc.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">★ Automatic cut</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">If you can't control what goes in and out of your account, get an automatic bi-weekly transfer from your bank into a hidden savings account. This way, you won't have access to a certain amount of money (of your choice) but will have a growing account!</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">★ Open several accounts</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">If you're a visual person and have plans set out for yourself for the next year or so, split your events in bank accounts. Open a travel account, savings account, house account, car account, etc. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Tip: The fact that all accounts will be separated, the amount will be smaller in each, which means you'll only want to see the account grow bigger- it'll force you to keep adding to it...:) Right?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Try out new restaurants and relax on the terraces. It's time to enjoy culinary dishes. Instead of focusing on the amount you are getting on your plate, focus on the new taste that you'll be experiencing. It's summer! Pick 2-3 appetizers VS a full plate of one dish.

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Hello readers,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I often stick to a quote that marks the highlights of my life in every aspect. My idol once said "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only; fashion is something in the air. It's the wind that blows in the new fashion; you feel it coming, you smell it. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">In <span style="background-color: white;">this case, Fashion is in a building. But not just any building. It is the latest condominium project in Montreal that gathers the essence of our old town and vintage aspects of it. <span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Sax Old <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background: yellow;"><span style="background-color: white;">Montréal Limited Edition</span></span> is</span> currently building a vas</span>t condo project in the heart of Old-Montréal</span> that compromises 167 high-end condominiums, with the choice of studio, 1, 2 or 3 bedroom units ranging in size from 420 to 1862 sq. ft.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Behind the project are two hard working men that ventured into high engineering and architectural details that blended into a creative force that will be portrayed in the tower. What amazes me the most about this new development is the fashionable story behind it. Before this property on Wellington Street went off on a real-estate project, there was a shoe manufacturer shop on the very same location. This led into the fabulous idea of revamping the condominiums into a historical image by giving each piece a theme that is related to Jazz. On another note, in order to promote Sax Old <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background: yellow;"><span style="background-color: white;">Montréal Limited Edition's</span></span> </span>big move, there were numerous jazz performances in local sit-down places and restaurants in order to give Sax a proper shout out. Located near to McGill Street, amid shops, art galleries and gourmet restaurants, this hip project with a contemporary design is ideal for those looking for a modern, urban lifestyle. Vintage pieces related to Fashion and history will be displayed as décor in the building in order to add warmth and trend to the chic space.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">One of my favorite
rocking trends for this (mid-hot) summer is<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>a tunic. Reason it’s a two-face? You can pair it or wear it solo.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">A tunic is
not quite a shirt & not quite a dress either...This piece (either printed or
simple) helps you transition from your drab winter wardrobe to something more
fun and relaxed. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I’ve been
eyeing a silk tunic at Zara for the past month or so, and finally decided to
welcome it to the wardrobe. As seen above, this mid-length garment plays around
with oriental-inspired prints that allow me to style it up (due to its
high-quality fabric) as it can simply come with me by the ocean during sunset.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">If you are
planning to style up a tunic, make sure to not add too much accessories to your
outfit as it may look “busy”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and lose
the idea of the tunic. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead of adding
a load of jewels to it, keep it simple and rather play around footwear. </span></span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">If a tunic
looks too loose on you, let it go. The whole point behind this piece is to wear
it well and structured and not only look for comfort. Make sure it is somewhat
fitted to your body upon purchase.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Although I’m a citizen of Montreal, I always feel like a newly welcomed tourist when it comes time to venture off into a culinary experience. This European inspired city always surprises you with new dishes, restaurant openings and its interior decorative attractions. This week, I decided to try out a new spot in the heart of Mont-Royal on Laurier Street: The Greasy Spoon. At first, the name threw me off a little, I won’t lie to you. My first thoughts were burgers, fries, finger foods, to name a few. Standard and unhealthy. Period. Those thoughts remained up until I visited the restaurant’s website. Before making reservations, I was already determined that this was going to be a spot I was going to remember based on what I saw online. A vivid and well-structured website with minimalistic description, a clear and short menu and bold photography. It had all the necessary figures to be eye-catching to the viewer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> I figured it was better to go on a weekday due to the limited space and intimacy the restaurant projects. As soon as I walked in, I noticed that the decor had a two-way illusion: it is considered very warm for the cold season but is also lively enough during the summer season with its beautiful outdoor sunny terrace. The staff is very dynamic and bilingual (something that plays a huge role in this city). The décor is set with bold and dark furniture but revives itself through illuminative table and bar accessories. In my opinion, a vintage touch has definitely been put into the allure of the restaurant.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Let’s talk about what the spoon has to offer in its <strike>greasy</strike> delicious plates:<br /><br />I’ve always believed in menus. The less, the better. Think about it for a second: if a restaurant has a set menu with an average of 5 choices whether it be in appetizers, main dishes or deserts, it is most probably because they are very well acquainted with that specific cuisine and put in a great amount of time and pleasure into cooking those meals. Aside from its tasteful cocktails and exquisite wine list lays an interesting and engaging menu on the wooden tables. </span></div>

I opted for the Cajun rubbed salmon filet that was complemented with quinoa and summer squash. The all was served with a chipotle raspberry sauce. I was amazed. First off by the serving layout and secondly by the tremendous amount of combined tastes that were served in one plate.

I ended the night with an espresso and was left indecisive for the final and (best) part of the meal: the desert. There were three choices: a banana marshmallow cheesecake (original eh?), a berry whipped cream pie or a half-baked chocolate chip cookie served with vanilla ice cream. As the waitress served me coffee, she instantly insisted on the cookie. Let me tell you…nothing. I had no comments. I’ll leave this one to you.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Hello Vintage readers,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Take a picture, choose a filter to transform its look and post it on <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #e06666;"><a href="http://instagram.com/#">Instagram</a></span></span>! Many of you smartphone owners are probably avid users of this application given the fact that it is a quick and fun way to share your best moments with your followers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Recently, Instagram has become as popular as Facebook. Pictures are uploaded on it before even appearing on the mobile device album on Facebook. You can share your photos on Facebook, Tumblr & Twitter and insert hash tags in the caption field that will appear on your links. It's a quick way to connect through photography's lifestyle: like-comment & browse away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Here are a few of my favourite Instagram moments from June. From culinary to Fashion delights, I sure enjoyed the beginning of my summer: wine & dining at new restaurants, exploring new places and expanding the summer wardrobe.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Did you ever think running shoes can possibly strike off as an additional fashionable item to your closet? Up until a few weeks ago, I was not a fan of this particular footwear disguise until I found the ONES. Little did I know, there is a particular shape of runners dedicated to specific activities such as running, walking training, to name a few.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Before I start sharing with you my runner-shoppping experience, I'd like to emphasize on the main activity (without counting the shopping cardio): RUNNING.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I was always afraid of running and training outdoors. Girls, seriously, I ask you to gather around this last sentence and agree with me. My mind set on this particular exercise quickly changed as my best friends and I decided to start doing things we disliked and find pleasure in it.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> Fine.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I
was going to try to start jogging outdoors but there was no way I was
going to use my heavy old Nike runners that I miserably dragged on the
elleptical machine each and every time I had to make use of them.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">One
of my best friends talked to me about one of the smartest purchases she
has made in a while and believe it or not, that particular purchase was
running shoes. If you are looking to invest in a pair, you're probably
telling yourself to might as well splurge in a well-known brand such as
Nike, Adidas, etc. I thought so too...until I went to visit Sketchers.
As I walked in, I was surrounded by hundreds of colorful pairs that were
just starring at me waiting to be tried on and possibly purchased. May I
add that colorful running shoes are hitting a pretty nice spot in
current fashion trends. (Why wouldn't you add some life to your
workouts, right?)</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">It is important to know what you will use your pair for. I for instance, explained to the sales associate that I wish to use my shoes for casual runs, distant walks and workouts. I was then presented to the "Flexi" shoe that has a memory foam (great for walks and runs) stitched inside and falls right under your entire foot. The weight of this pair is undescribable as you will not find a lighter pair in to run in. As I tried the pair, I instantly said "they are mine".</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">For those of you who workout or take time to go for long walks, make a long-lasting investment in running shoes as you do not want to have an uncomfortable session each time you decide to go for a workout.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Hello ladies,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> Regardless of these past couple of humid rainy days, summer pretty much started walking down its runway of sunny days. There's just something about this season that makes you want to dive into an endless closet, picking a dress, fedora hat and a few bangles. Tell me one thing: What's a summer outfit without complementary summer heels? Before you & I answer that, I have a confession to make. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I've somehow shopped with my mind parked on cloud nine and managed to purchase a total of four new summer pairs in (here's the confession)...four days. I'm sure nearly 100% of you ladies won't see this as a negative purchase or compulsory action. Nevertheless, I believe that a heel can change your entire look. Manolo Blahnik once said: "You put on high heels and you change.", which in my opinion is true. Give a woman the right pair of heels and she'll be able to conquer the world regardless of her hidden pain. Find the right pair of heels and you'll find the right outfit to wear with them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Here are my current favorite heels that lay in my closet and are impatiently waiting to be worn:</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">ASOS </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Make sure to find a somewhat comfortable pair that you are certain you can walk in. Forgive me but there is nothing worse than to see a woman suffering every half meter of her walk. If you can't pull off three-four inches in a classy and subtle way, stick to a smaller heel. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Unlike Carrie Bradshaw in <span style="color: black;">Sex and the City, who chased men, taxis, and sometimes a dog in the park in
her six-inch stilettos (and still managed to look glamorously sexy),
sporting high heels in real life can be a killer. But believe it or not,
most women love
their heels so much that in spite of the many problems that plague
their feet, they refuse to give up on their stilettos, even if it causes
them discomfort! Since you'll be investing an "x" amount of money in your next pair, make sure to pick the right size, fit, height and style.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Here are, in my opinion, a few categories of summer heels that would be great to own for this summer:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #ea9999; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">★ Add a wedge</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #ea9999; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">These are a perfect complement to denims or any pair of pants. The good thing about a wedge is that you somewhat have more stability. You can play around with this pair. You can go strappy as you can hit an open-toe. You can also play around with prints and color and best of all, height (easier to deal with when your heel is proportionate throughout the entire shoe).</span></span></span><br />

Make a small switch during summer and try to find yourself a perfect pair of open-toe heels. It'll add a summer touch to your outfit without escaping your comfort zone.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

Although this color remains to be seen very much on the street style market, add a touch to your outfit with other accessories such as jewels or a great complimentary clutch.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1. Boot cut jeans</span></span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">While a lot of women don't like them, a
good boot cut jean looks the best on the widest variety of female
forms, particularly when the proper "rise" is also chosen. Boot cut jeans generally skim
or slightly hug the hips and the thighs, flaring slightly at the
foot. They are not as relaxed in cut as flare cut jeans and they are not
as wide at the bottom as bell-bottoms. Women of all ages, sizes, and
shapes can wear this cut. It simply becomes a matter of finding the
right rise and design. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">2. Classic cut jeans</span></span></span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Classic cut jeans have a high waist
and usually either bulge unattractively or pinch across the hips,
neither of which is a good look. To add insult to injury, they then
taper down the leg, effectively drawing attention upward to the
mid-section, which is often undesirable. Unfortunately, most women are
familiar with the classic cut and it is the one that many gravitate
towards. Known best today as the "mom" jean, the fact that the
classic cut continues to exist is a question that no one can seem to
answer. However, until women stop buying and wearing them we have to
leave them on the list, which is really sad.</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">3. Flare jeans</span></span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Flare jeans are an updated version of the
old 70's bell-bottom, but they are distinctly different. Bell-bottoms
usually hugged the hip and thigh and then flare widely at the foot.
Flare jeans, on the other hand, tend to flare out down the entire
length of the leg, sometimes growing even larger as it reaches the
foot. This cut may work for tall, statuesque women with perfect figures
but it certainly isn't recommended for anyone who is more petite. It
cuts the leg significantly, actually making a woman look shorter
rather than taller. Many of today's so-called "trouser" cut jeans are
actually a mild variation of the flare. </span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">4. Straight cut jeans</span></span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The straight cut jean is
self-explanatory. The cut is straight from the bottom of the hip down
to the foot. This cut does the best job of elongating a woman's leg.
It is a perfect choice for petite women and for any other woman who
wants to appear taller. While extremely tall women may shy away from
this jean cut, I don't because I'm of the belief that a woman's legs
can never be too long. This cut is good for women of almost any shape
or size.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Skinny jeans become all the rage in fashion
every once in awhile and a lot of women yearn to own them. The
problem is that this cut simply isn't made for every woman's figure.
Skinny jeans hug every curve from the hip down the top of the thigh
all the way to the ankle. Women with perfect legs should most certainly
give them a try - they haven't got anything to lose. And if one
happens to be both tall and thin, then she will have the best of all
worlds going for her. Unfortunately, few women are perfectly
constructed. Many of us tend to carry weight right where we don't
want it, in our hips, thighs and calves. Having something plastered
against those flaws, displaying them for the world, to see is hardly
what we want.</span></div>

<li id="yui_3_7_3_1_1368487479288_532"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Trouser
cuts - especially if the have funky flap pockets or welt pockets in
back. Clean front styles are probably best, and a great wide leg will
balance things out. Bonus if you can find some with a side zip. </span></li>
<li id="yui_3_7_3_1_1368487479288_535"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Either a slightly high or very
low rise, depending on how you feel about your tummy. Higher rises will
hold things in, but if you're a slender Apple, a super-low rise will add
curves to your butt and add length to your short waist.</span></li>
<li id="yui_3_7_3_1_1368487479288_537"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Skinnies - especially with a flowy peasant top.</span></li>
<li id="yui_3_7_3_1_1368487479288_539"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Crops, as long as the weather
cooperates - your long and thin legs should be shown off! (Just keep
them slim in fit, like a cigarette leg, and avoid the sloppier
"boyfriend" style)</span></li>

<li id="yui_3_7_3_1_1368487479288_390"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">High rises - they'll do double duty in balancing out your figure, both lengthening your legs and covering your behind!</span></li>
<li id="yui_3_7_3_1_1368487479288_393"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Cuts that run small in the waist
compared to the fit of the hips and thighs - nobody likes a gap waist.
(Luckily, your stretched-out torso and more heart-shaped behind make
your waist measurement slightly more proportionate to your hips than
those of your Bell friends)</span></li>
<li id="yui_3_7_3_1_1368487479288_395"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Trouser cuts - as long as they
don't have those annoying angled slash pockets in front, which don't get
along with our thunder thighs. (Actually, you could probably just
stitch down those pockets and avoid the problem.) Clean front trousers
are best. There's a reason Ruth started calling me Trouserchica!</span></li>
<li id="yui_3_7_3_1_1368487479288_397"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Wider legs in general - bootcuts,
flares, etc. Straights are about as narrow as you should go, and
skinnies should be reserved for boot-stuffing only (nor will our calves
ever fit into skinny jeans--straights look like skinnies on me!)</span></li>
<li id="yui_3_7_3_1_1368487479288_599"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Thicker, stretch denim will make your life easier.</span></li>
<li id="yui_3_7_3_1_1368487479288_399"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Large pockets - preferably
without too much detail, if you'd like to minimize your butt. You could
always draw attention to your best asset (ha) with some pocket bling,
though.</span></li>

<li id="yui_3_7_3_1_1368487479288_640"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Not too much detail around the upper front of the jeans - front patch pockets may draw the eye to the belly</span></li>
<li id="yui_3_7_3_1_1368487479288_642"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Most leg cuts will flatter you,

long. Pair wide legs with heels<span style="font-size: small;">.</span></span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Long inseams</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Skinny cuts (but be careful of length, since skinnies will often run
short). These will add curves and balance out your shoulders.</span></li>
<li id="yui_3_7_3_1_1368487479288_701"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">A wide flare can also work, as
long as they are fitted above the knees--too baggy all over and you
might find well-meaning townspeople trying to offer you a sandwich.</span></li>
<li id="yui_3_7_3_1_1368487479288_694"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Interesting details, pocket embellishments, fun washes, etc - almost anything goes!</span></li>
<li id="yui_3_7_3_1_1368487479288_697"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">A low rise, which will add curves to your butt and tone down the length of your legs. </span></li>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Last Thursday, I had the honor to attend a fabulous event I was invited to from one of Montreal's hottest and trendiest PR firms: <span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.1milk2sugarspr.com/">1 Milk 2 Sugars</a></span></span>. (How fabulous is their name?) The event was about celebrating the exclusive launch of (one of my personal favourite) Apothic's White Wine in Quebec, Canada.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I instantly RSVP-d and was eager to taste the mysterious wine. The event was held in the luxurious Loft Hotel of Montreal and gathered Montreal's finest and sociable people. The atmosphere was exquisitely energetic as the event was hosted by Montreal's bilingual TV & Radio Host Isabelle Racicot (You've probably heard her on Virgin Radio) and themed by an intriguing darker side...</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Guests were given black and white masks at the entrance of the venue and were served by waiters dressed in black and red satin capes. The night kept surprising its guests. From its delicious amuse-bouche table setting serving complementary foods of white wine to an amazing acrobatic show that was presented by Cirque du Soleil, I would certainly say that the launch brought great success. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Hello dears,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Mother's Day is approaching, which means you must think of the cutest ways to make her smile. Whether you live with your mother or
you flew away from the nest, we all know to a degree what our mothers
want, need, or should have. Many of us always get the same response from our mothers: "I would
feel guilty if you get me something too expensive." "Your love is more than enough." To name a few...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> When it comes time to shop for my mom, I think about sweet little things rather than overdoing it with extravagant gifts. I've come to learn that she appreciates toughtful things vs. typical gifts.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKd5UlJohKb6vWnzWXm5NvYRZirEe2PhtP2tr94GeZAhnu6ynfA2RUy2Okxsi_cOOh2NFNJ-ME8BA7MdxO6rA-2mktNqHnmvQYXxWmiI-ZIeL6vAAhcOr6j01ubH3EDU0GTWYP8b_8-Eqh/s1600/3b90ba00f27216213653a6760c5fad7b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKd5UlJohKb6vWnzWXm5NvYRZirEe2PhtP2tr94GeZAhnu6ynfA2RUy2Okxsi_cOOh2NFNJ-ME8BA7MdxO6rA-2mktNqHnmvQYXxWmiI-ZIeL6vAAhcOr6j01ubH3EDU0GTWYP8b_8-Eqh/s1600/3b90ba00f27216213653a6760c5fad7b.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So I asked myself; what are some things that are affordable, show that
you care, and she should definitely have? Well, clothes do not expire
and you can take this opportunity to conspicuously "style" your mother
while keeping her look within her taste. Kind of like a rendezvous
between "her style + today's trends." If you don't feel comfortable
enough to style her, or she is just like most of us and would rather get
her own clothes, then these following options are a great way to fill a basket with a touch of endless love...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I often love to put my attention on crafting the gift rather than picking the perfect gift. Hence why a small basket would be such a cute idea. You can always pick one of these gift ideas featured above and accompany them with a few little goodies and pack them up nicely in a small basket, bag or whatever your creative self comes up with.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Hello readers,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">As many of you may have realized by now, 90% of our Spring/Summer wardrobe is out and ready to be worn! About a month ago, I presented an independent Montreal clothing boutique on my blog:<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> <span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="color: #999999;"><b><a href="http://jkvintageaffair.blogspot.ca/2013/03/a-day-at-boutique-ghazvin.html">Ghazvin Boutique</a></b></span>. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Last week, I've managed to shoot a few pictures with one of Ghazvin's employees featuring the store's latest collection:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Happy Month of May! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Ever wished there were 34 hours in a day? Or better yet, an extra day added to the week? Let me be precise: an extra weekend day?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Aside from the typical daydreams we all tend to dive into, there is an effective tool to daily survival: <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">ORGANIZATION</span></span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The best example I can possibly use is myself. My daily planner book and to-do lists haven't been bored yet in 2013. Ever since the year started, I have been running all over the place. After dedicating my free time to my blog, I have decided to venture back into the world of full-time studies. Up until last week, I have been juggling endless amounts of essays, blogged on JKal's Vintage Affair and spent the remaining of my time with my loved ones.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> Last week, I decided to challenge myself even more.<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Why not work full-time? </span>Who ever said one cannot succeed in a new career field AND rock A+'s? Given the fact that I am a Fashion Marketing student, I obviously went to hunt down a position that is relevant to my passion and studies. I've recently joined a fabulous team of young professionals in the clothing industry as an <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Overseas Fashion Coordinator</span>. Let me tell you, I'll be walking on a busy path.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">How do I do it? Here are a few tips...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #ea9999; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;">✔ <span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Eat. Sleep & Stay Active</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #ea9999; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Put it t<span style="font-size: small;">his way: <span style="font-size: small;">you won't function un<span style="font-size: small;">less you<span style="font-size: small;">'ve slept a<span style="font-size: small;"> minimum of 7<span style="font-size: small;"> hours. Eat breakfast whe<span style="font-size: small;">n you wake up, it's the worse meal to skip. <span style="font-size: small;">If I have no time for workouts, I make sure I catch up <span style="font-size: small;">on exe<span style="font-size: small;">r<span style="font-size: small;">cise <span style="font-size: small;">with <span style="font-size: small;">a minimum th<span style="font-size: small;">irt<span style="font-size: small;">hy minute walk<span style="font-size: small;"> (lucky you if you move around all day long). When you're out running errands or running home late, <span style="font-size: small;">avoid snacking on junk foods. Th<span style="font-size: small;">ose will just make you hungrier.<span style="font-size: small;"> Always make sure to dr<span style="font-size: small;">ink a lot of water<span style="font-size: small;">. I<span style="font-size: small;">'m also a big tea fan<span style="font-size: small;"> (helps<span style="font-size: small;"> you concentrate and gives you an energy boost).</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> <br />

<br />

Since my daytime schedule is dedicated to work, I use lunch breaks to walk or read. Wonder when I have time to socialize during the week? I attend coffee dates on martini dates the nights I don't have class. When I'm stuck with my Mac at night, I take the opportunity to continue school work when class is over (which permits me to advance with my fashion workload). I'll often make myself a cup of tea 30-60 mins before bed time and catch up on some blogging and seek for new photos my eyes have stumbled upon.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I avoid working on weekends. If I'm stuck doing school work, I'll leave it for Sunday nights. <span style="font-size: small;">Enjoy your weekends. Go out. Catch up with <span style="font-size: small;">friends. Eat. Sleep.<span style="font-size: small;"> Shop. You get the drill...</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Hello readers,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I decided to catch up on good times this past weekend and visit my best friend in Ottawa. Between the great company and endless giggles, we spent the weekend literally doing everything and NOTHING. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Our version of a good weekend is to simply relax behind delicious plates, calming walks and all things girly...(we'll never grow old in certain things)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I unfortunately was not accompanied by my amazing Nikon camera but did manage to take a few pictures off my iPhone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Here is the result of my peaceful escapade in Ottawa (and partially Montreal)...</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #65605c; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 19px;">When the date calls for a fancy restaurant, turn things up a notch in a subtly sexy fitted dress and printed envelope clutch. Bold, statement-making earrings will keep his attention, ahem, upward, and a cute, lightweight trench will make for a great reveal. A pair of spiky peep-toe heels does wonders to elongate your legs, but don't go any higher than you're comfortable with – the last thing you need is a face-plant on arrival. </span></div>

Movies may not be the most original and advantageous of first dates, but they happen. You must keep in mind that you'll be in a casual environment, so opt for skinny jeans in a dark wash, a simple tank or top and a lightweight sweater (just in case). Pack some hand sanitizer (you might get popcorn & candy fingers) in your tote. <i><span style="color: #741b47;"><u>Avoid</u></span></i>: High heels, skirts & bringing your expensive handbag.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">When picking out your scent, make sure it is not too soft or too strong. A perfume is a peculiar body accessory that needs to blend well within your taste and scent preference. When in doubt, you can always ask the fragrance staff. They are usually well trained to help you pick out a perfume that will suit you. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Keep in mind that it's finally time to take that heavy winter coat off your back and put away your winter boots. It's time to play around with colour, prints, fabrics & trends! Take out all your flats and pumps and refresh your memory on the variety of shoes & clothing you have awaiting for you...</span></div>

<b><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>"Cheap-Chic & Fast Fashion: Is Fashion Blogging making Fashion more unsustainable?"</i></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>"</b>Fashion has a way of easily tricking us through its fast trend pace. Nowadays, many followers rely on bloggers to get a taste of the season’s latest trends and hottest items to own. This is where the community gets confused between fashion bloggers and fashion cosmopolitan accessible leading groups such as magazines, for example. The major difference between these two fashion go-to’s is the influence they both have on their audience. Fashion blogging is not a trendsetting tool. It is considered as a fashion sharing industry where each blogger communicates with its audience through its inspiring outfits, trends, to name a few. Bloggers should not be considered as victims of fashion being so unsustainable due to the fact that it is based on self-knowledge and expression. Contrary to what society might think, bloggers do often recycle their pieces and have the gift to revamp it in a totally different allure. To my belief, retailers, celebrities and high-end magazines make fashion unsustainable due to its constant change. It is a blogger’s duty to be able to show its audience how to incorporate current and basic trend together. I, for example, indulge in pieces that are not seen in a current magazine issue. I tend to recycle my grandmother’s vintage crocodile snakeskin purse and style it with the latest pleather pants that are on the market. I always try to keep a percentage of my closet versatile and purchase trendsetting accessories to modernize my look. It is important not to build your personal style upon what you see but what you want people to see." -JKal</span></div>
