Creative time!!

I love to do things with my mind and my hands!!

The other I had the idea on making magnets for the fridge....I found everything I needed to start my project!

Here's a picture of the result:


this is it for now..I'm gonna get some more marble and right now I'm practicing I wanna know what I like best and with what material it works. I'll problably sell some magnets on etsy or to my friends if it works out great in the end! The magnets and the marble are new but the pictures are from various books, comic books and a dime that I had on hand!

It's just a beginning!

Chao for now xx

Today style

Today was a hot day, too much for me. It's september 1st and it's still 40 degrees outside....I hope this will all end very soon I'm not so much into hot temperature. Still I can wear my cute summer dresses when it's that hot.

Here's one of my favorite summer dress of all. It's simple and full of colors I got it 3 years aho in a place called ''la commode'' it's closed now but this dress was 7$ a real investment, I wore that dress like a 100 time!


I wear it in winter too, I put a long sleeve black shirt underneat!

Mode is more than fashion

So fashion is clothes and accessories.

Mode is a lifestyle aka Mode de vie.

I love to think of my style as a mix of eras, for clothes and other things as well, like old books have great stories with others point of views than the novels we can read today. People change as the world change and I find it really interesting and it scares me in some ways because I don't know if we're going in the right direction. It's up to us to make this world that we live in liveable, that's the main reason why I love to stick to old values and ways to live.


I read a lot and in ne of my bookshelves there's an old pic of my grandmother that I love a lot. I look up to her as a style icon but also as a mother, a grandmother and a really nice person. When I think about her living her 20's like I do I see a different world. It's funny because I'm living in the same part of town she used to live in when she was my age! I care a lot about history and Limoilou the place I live in as change a lot in 60 years even if the buildings are the same, the shops, the trees, the cars , the fashion as change so it's natural that our ''Mode de vie'' as change as well. Yet trying to live our lives in a respectful way to others and the things surrounding us is really important to me and I like to remind myself of the person who live here before we did. Think about your place for a moment, my building was build in the late 30's and families have live in my appartment for 70 years before I did. I love to make stories and imagine another woman getting ready in the bathroom, sleepin in the master bedroom, cooking great food in the kitchen and entertaining the guest in the living room. So many history, so little we know.

Fashion is no crime

Tell me how fashion can be a crime when it's unexpensive and so beautiful?

I got this dress at comptoir emmaus in Québec City for 18$
It's a perfect cocktail dress, It's been a while that I own this dress and it's one of my favorite!
When I thrift I take my time to find the perfect things and it's really worth it.
