Links and chicness

Alex — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 00:09:36 +0000

Hey guys! How was your weekend? Ours was great! We didn’t do anything special (poor D had to work) so we celebrated Easter with Indian food from a restaurant nearby (it was my first time ever, but I really liked it).

Anyway, here are some links I should have posted on Friday and some fashion-related stuff I should have posed yesterday.

I made these yesterday. They are sooo good! I used milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate, so they’re a bit sweeter, but next time I’m definitely using dark. D doesn’t really like them, which is awesome, because, hey! more for me! They taste exactly like French papillotes if you’ve ever had them.

If I decide to make brownies some day, this is how I’ll make them.

Love this photo of Gwyneth Paltrow and Blythe Danner by Annie Leibowitz.

Human flight video. I have no idea how they filmed this, but it’s breathtaking! {Via Ebb&Flow}

Would you like this clock? It would take me a while to figure out what time it is.

For chicas who love stripes, how awesome are these little striped numbers? {Via Apples And Onions and I Love Bastille}

Chic Sundays: Natalie Portman for Vogue

Alex — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 02:52:23 +0000

I hope it came as no surprise to anyone, I really loved Black Swan and you can read my review here. As a photographer, and lover of all things ethereal dreamy and out of this world, I am so very much in love with this editorial from the January issue of Vogue featuring Natalie Portman.

This is the Behind the Scenes video. What a great, great location!

Chic Sundays: baby, it’s cold outside

Alex — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 23:01:51 +0000

It’s going to be a cold week in Montreal and cozy & warm outfits are essential for our well being. I love this outfit put together by Caroline Duke from I am a greedy girl. Those Sorel boots are on my list for next year. This year I’m still using my Ugg/rubber boots combo for when it’s dry or slushy.

Chic Sundays: Madewell Spring 2011

Alex — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:05:39 +0000

I’m not a big fan of the preppy style (no to jeggins 4 EVER!), I like dressy/vintage/feminine outfits, but this Madewell collection is quite awesome.

Chic Sundays: Lauren Moffatt

These outfits are from Lauren Moffatt’s Spring 2011 lookbook called The Honeymooner. Aren’t the 60s accents gorgeous? And that green silky fabric, oh my! Via Miss Moss.

Chic Sundays: poofy dresses

I’ve been dreaming about romantic tutus for a while now. Maybe I’ll get one as a Christmas present (hint, hint).

Chic Sundays: fall looks

Alex — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 02:30:35 +0000

These outfits almost make the thought that the summer is over bearable.

From A.P.C Fall Collection.

There is something about the first outfit that I just love, I can’t put my finger on it though. Maybe it’s the brown/blue combo…

From Aubin&Willis.

Tights + short dress = lovely!

I also ♥ the blue cape and laced boots.

Chic Sundays: fall fashion – olive and plum

Alex — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 23:01:00 +0000

Whether we want it or not, fall is coming soon. Here in Montreal it’s already a bit cooler and I’m starting to see a few yellow leaves. But it’s not all bad when it comes to autumn… This year I’m looking forward to going to an apple orchard, taking pictures with the orange&yellow foliage as decor, pumpkin pie, and also, the great fall trends.

I’m kind of stuck on plum and olive for now, combined with more neutral tones like beige and gray for balance. I’m desperate for the perfect beige raincoat which would make any outfit seem so proper, chic and pulled together…
