A day at Matière Noire's studio

Last Friday, I had the honour of meeting Matière Noire's designer, Cécile Raizonville, in her studio while glancing at her fabulous Spring/Summer 13 pieces.

We spent two hours talking about the start of her line, her first show she presented during Montreal Fashion Week & connection with European Fashion.

It was in July 2012 that she launched her first look-book for her SS13 line. As I sat down with her, I couldn't help but ask about the preparation for her MFW FW13 show. 

Did you know that Cécile participated in a contest judged by a jury in order to get her place at MFW? It was at the end of November of 2012 that she took the amazing opportunity and  decided to take a chance and pursue her true passion and make the public aware of it. 
This talented designer definitely had her mind set on putting her foot in this rapid ever-lasting industry. Although the timeline was constraint, she succeeded by putting on a creative show. Cécile barely had a full month and a half to put it all together. To read more about her show, click here.
  She is also looking forward to participate and showcase her line in the upcoming Fashion Art Toronto (FAT) event.

I cheated sweetly with Juliette.

As Oscar Wilde said: "The only thing I can't resist is temptation."

Last night, the man friend and I literally cheated on each other (sweetly) with Juliette. 

A classy little spot for a casual date with your girlfriends or boyfriend where you can instantly feel the French ambiance and let chocolate melt on your plate: Juliette & Chocolat.

JKal's Musts

Happy Monday readers!

Here are some musts you will need to keep in mind in order to finish the slushy winter and start a fresh spring. Also, take the opportunity to relax with some of these as the midterms and busy work schedule took up a lot of our time. Do you agree?

Hello readers,

The month of love is already coming to an end and will hopefully bring us a fresh smell of spring! (especially after the blizzard we just had)

With all this commotion and running around,  I still want to share a few things that managed to catch my eye this month. 

Here are my favourites of this month :
