I had the pleasure of speaking ( in French!) with Cynthia Boucher, founder of the Vêtements Mandala clothing line based in Montreal, for my podcast Soulful Couture.
Her collection of bright colored leggings caught my attention this past year as I was scrolling through my Instagram feed. I also loved her slogan: “Vous êtes magnifique – You are beautiful!” and the fact that her collection is available in sizes XXS to 3X.

This week I chatted with Montreal designer Katrin Leblond, a talented artist that creates colorful fashion pieces and accessories right here in Montreal. I love the colors and textures that she brings to her collection, and the fact that she caters to women of all shapes and sizes. During our talk, I discovered a natural, sweet, colorful and accessible woman, just like her clothes.

This week, I had the immense pleasure of welcoming the new spring season with a podcast conversation with Jennifer Brodeur, a female entrepreneur I greatly admire.

I recently fell hard for a fashion collection.
Vanaras, a collection of gorgeous sustainable clothes from Bangalore, India.
When I discovered the name Vanaras means essence of the forest, I fell even more. The forest is my place of refuge, healing, and happiness so a collection created in honour of this essence filled my heart with tremedous joy.

I first met Melanie Trevett at a fabulous party in Montreal. It was one of those fabulous evenings that you’re invited to once in a blue moon. It was a Gatsby-esque night in many ways, with champagne flowing and profesional dancers swaying beneath the moonlight.
It was indeed a wonderful night, especially since I got to spend the evening chatting and dancing with Melanie, a UK fashion entrepreneur and kindred soul.
J’ai rencontré Mélanie Trevett pour la première fois lors d’une fabuleuse soirée à Montréal il y a quelques années. C’était une nuit Gatsby-esque à bien des égards, avec du champagne coulant à flot sous le clair de lune. Ce fut une merveilleuse soirée, d’autant plus que j’ai pu passer celle-ci à bavarder et à danser avec Melanie, une entrepreneure britannique et une âme sœur.

Okay, it’s official, I’m in LOVE…With a pair sunglasses.. But not just any pair…This pair of sunglasses is on a mission: to clean up the oceans, no small feat, that’s for sure.
Early last year, I came across an article about the Ocean Clean Up and it piqued my curiosity. It’s a non-profit organization developing advanced technologies to rid the oceans of plastic. It is designing very clever technologies to accopmplish this.
And so this week, it has launched an amazing new product: a super cool looking par of sunglasses made entirely from recycled pastic. They’re sooo attractive and well thought out. I’m loving everything detail about them.

I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was super inspiring in many ways.
While listening to the sessions, I discovered that Rebecca Minkoff has a line of cool T-Shirts that encourage people to vote and run for office. For every Limited Edition T-shirt sold, Rebecca Minkoff will make a donation to Vote Run Lead, a non-profit organization that empowers and trains women to run for office.

I had the pleasure of meeting Amélie Loyer at an art show in the Eastern Townships during the last holiday season. Her beautiful designs made with pieces of seashells caught my attention, because I’ve always been a major lover of the sea. And over the years, I’ve become a fierce protector of it as well.
J’ai eu le plaisir de rencontrer Amélie Loyer lors d’une exposition d’art dans les Cantons-de-l’Est durant les fêtes. Ses créations réalisées avec des coquillages ont attiré mon attention, car j’ai toujours été une grande amoureuse de la mer. Et au fil des ans, j’en suis aussi devenue une protectrice…

So… summer is officially here!
After an intense Spring season filled with a roller coaster of news, unprecedented change, upheaval, and discomfort, let’s face it, we’re all ready to spend time outdoors, breathe, play, and visit with friends ( if you can) and wear some COLOR!
We will all benefit from some levity and wearing some colourful clothes, summer dresses and keeping things light.
One go the things I wish to accomplish with creating this blog is helping to slow down the pollution and detrimental effets the world’s excessive consumption has on our beautiful planet.
