CALCULATED CLUTTER/my house by night

Well, here it is....pictures of my house at night.  I like fake lighting, disturbing art and quirky critters.  I consider myself to be a "collector" but Jerrmaner often refers to me as a "hoarder."  He just doesn't understand me.  He thinks that everyone has to have the same minimalist, masculine and modern style that he has.  I prefer to cover my surroundings with things that I love....lots of things that always put a smile on my face. 

Jerrmaner also makes fun of me because I never buy furniture.  Most of my furniture is from my childhood and the rest of it was just donated to me by my family.  I am not the most domestic person in the world, but I do make the most of what I have.  And I love all of the cool stuff/art that I have purchased to go in it.  

P.S. I use my refrigerator as my mood board.  It is covered from top to bottom with all that inspires me; fashion shots, family photos and lots of art.

BOULEVARD SAINT-LAURENT/boutique u&i

So one of the boutiques that I fell in love with while in Montreal was a place called Boutique U&I.  They not only had an array of designer duds, but also featured pieces from their own collection.  I purchased a few pieces from the Boutique U&I collection.  I find that I am still giddy about these pieces even weeks after transacting...they are enchanting, unique and completely inviting.  There is no doubt in my mind that I will always be able to count on these pieces during fashion slumps.  

For now, you get only a glimpse of the leggings I purchased.  They are truly magnificent!  Throw them on with an over-sized sweater or tunic and a pair of great shoes and you are set.  I think that these leggings and I will have a most enchanting
 Fall/Winter together.  

I will be showing pics of the other Boutique U&I pieces that I purchased soon.  Didn't want to give too much of a good thing all at once.

P.S. The staff at the Boulevard Saint-Laurent location of Boutique U&I was amazing!  They were so friendly and helpful and made my purchasing experience an absolute treat.

PARIS/part 1

To refer to this post as "PARIS/part 1" suggests that there is a "PARIS/part 2," right? I will satisfy your curiosity now and tell you that there absolutely is a part 2 to come. Why? Well, first of all, it's Paris (a place filled with amazing architecture, food, museums and fashion) and second of all, I am not known for my brevity.

While this wasn't my first time to Paris, I still found myself very inspired by the city. Since returning home and fully digesting all that I saw, I have realized just how inspired I truly was.

P.S. The Helmut Newton exhibit at the Grand Palais was phenomenal!
