One dress in Old Montreal















Last Sunday was quite the busy day, had a quick photo shoot with the new Bord de la mer dress I made the weekend before, took more pictures of vintage for the shop and then had a BBQ over at my mothers. My mom blogs over at Style Montreal Sud-Est, she loves color and thrifting and vintage clothing as much as I do. Please be sure to check her blog out.

Stéphane took some magnificent pictures of my dress, Old Montreal is the perfect backdrop. I want to make it there a few more times before it gets to cold to do outfit posts outside. Some of these pictures were taken in the garden at Château Ramezay and the rest in the streets of Old Montreal. 

The dress is now available in my shop in a size medium I will be making an other in Lilac and posting it soon. I can't wait for the weekend and for my afternoon trip to Toronto to style an event with some of my fellow Canadian bloggers. I will take my ipod with and keep you all updated via twitter, tumblr and Instagram.

xo!

What a cute dress. I'm very impressed that you made it. It looks amazing on you, especially with the old Montreal backdrop.

This dress looks even better on you. I was asking your mother if there is a relation between her interests and your design interests. I'd love to know.

I love that your mom is also into vintage and writes a blog too! I've been admiring your dress designs, you picked the perfect setting to highlight it. Old Montreal was my favorite spot in the city when I visited.

Terri:

very good question, my mom introduced me at a very young age to thrift stores and I guess my love for vintage clothing came from there, it became something bigger after living in the US for a few years and co-owning a vintage shop there. My designs are vintage inspired and that comes from seeing so much vintage and how its made and of course from 3 years of fashion design school.

I think that sums it up, we do have similar styles but I think that is a cosmic connection of some sort, hehe

Hope that answers your question Terri :)

You also have a good taste for colors especially the bright one...They look great on you...This cute short skirt draws my eyes for its boldness in very bright colors.These looks stimulate people's spirits and help to gain gaiety inside.I am creatively charged
