Vegan Restaurant Review: LOV by Jessica

With the number of vegans on the rise, Tiffany and I decided to give this lifestyle a try by visiting LOV, a vegan restaurant located in Old Montreal.

As we stepped into the restaurant, we fell in love with its minimalist design and super comfy hanging chairs.

The menu offered a large variety of vegan dishes. LOV definitely has something for everyone as they serve everything from vegan poutine to healthy salads.

We started our meal with kimchi fries and a poutine, followed by a burger and risotto. We were a little worried that the taste would be compromised because everything was vegan, but we were pleasantly surprised as everything was delicious.

We ended our meal on a sweet note with a nice cup of vegan matcha latte.

I would definitely recommend LOV to anyone wanting to give vegan food a try. It's a really trendy restaurant and the perfect place to catch up with your girlfriends.

What's In My Crossbody Bag by Tiffany

I love looking at people's bag content and see what tips&tricks they have to maximize space and convenience so I decided to share my own in this post!

So first and foremost is the bag itself. I love carrying this small and light crossbody bag from Spring with me when I go out. It is super versatile because it can also become a clutch if you remove the gold chain. The black and gold detailing compliment any outfit and it is super easy to accessorize around it. Gold jewelry is the way to go! The bag also contains a cardholder slot where I can put my bank card, credit card and some cash so I do not need to bring my heavy wallet, which is super practical!

Now, moving on to what I put inside. Obviously, my phone, also known as MY LIFE, has to be in this bag. It is an IPhone 6 and its cover is from NUNUCO. It has the cutest pattern and makes me SO ready for spring. I seriously cannot wait.

As for accessories, I never have time to put them on so I like to have a few dainty pieces in my bag just in case. Here, I have some gold rings that I got from ALDO to match with my bag and a gorgeous leather charm bracelet from La Maison Du Carat. To compliment that, I like to add a classic watch to add some statement to my "arm candy". This black and gold one, which also matches my bag, is from The Fifth Watches. I also manage to always have a pair of sunglasses just in case there is a blazing sun outside.

And finally, lipsticks. My go-to makeup item has always been a bright and bold lipstick because I feel like it puts the whole look together. Here, I have some of my favorite ones from Kylie Cosmetics and L'Oreal. I also like to bring a lipbalm in my purse too!

48 Hours in New York by Scarlett

During my Christmas holidays, I decided to visit New York, the city that never sleeps. Due to school, I could not spend a week in NYC as I would have wished, but I tried to make the most of my 48 hours there.

10a.m.

After grabbing a quick breakfast, I strolled through the lower part of the infamous 5th Avenue until Washington Square.

1p.m.

Staten Island Ferry

3p.m.

I visited New York's Chinatown for a very late lunch.

4.p.m.

I decided to line up and see the city from the top of the Empire State Building. It was a great time for that, despite the very long wait time, because I got to see a gorgeous sunset and night view.

Day 2: 10 a.m.

It was a rainy morning, so I decided to visit the Museum of Modern Art and the Rockefeller Center.

12p.m.

After viewing the current expositions, I shopped through 5th Avenue.

To sum it up, it was a short yet fun experience in this city!

Sneakers Lookbook

In the midst of our cold winter break and the upcoming new year, we decided to reminisce and bring to surface the photos from our favorite photo shoot, which were taken during the summertime. The goal was to curate a sneakers look book. Indeed, sneakers have evolved from simply being a workout must-have to an everyday fashion accessory. In this post, we'll show you three ways to stay fashionable, yet comfortable all day.

I'm not typically a girl who likes to wear only black and white, but I decided to venture out of my comfort zone for this look. I decided to pair a lace-detailed kimono with a bolder ensemble underneath. To balance everything out and add a slight touch of color, I went with nude sneaker wedges for my shoes.

To accentuate my outfit, I added a delicate purple pendant and silver sunglasses.

As a final touch, I put on my black cross body bag that is big enough to hold all my belongings.

I decided to put together an outfit that can go from casual to athletic in a matter of minutes.

To do so, I kept the athletic wear simple with a sports bra and a pair of black shorts under the skirt. Then, I topped it off with a sheer jacket, perfect for the chilly summer nights. And of course, all this matching my black and white sneakers.

As for accessories, I went for classic black sunnies with a gold frame, an elegant watch and a choker to add some edge to the outfit.

For my outfit, I kept it very simple. Inspired by the colours on my sneakers, I decided to keep the outfit black and white with a pair of black distressed shorts and a white halter top.
