  • How to make a Spring jacket purchase profitable How to make a Spring jacket purchase profitable

    Publié le par Dom Girard

    The arrival of spring is often an euphoric moment; the temperature rises, the sun shines brighter than ever and the sidewalks clear up. We want to enjoy every moment outdoors, but how to dress?! Because yes, it's great that the warmth is back, but there's a long "in-between" period where it's too warm for your winter down jacket, but too cold for your favorite denim jacket. So I thought I'd make a spring version of my blog One dress two looks and present you with two coats and two ways to wear them to get the most out of them :)

    For the first coat, I chose the Arabella from Soïa & Kyo. It's a nylon coat with a large hood and a belt. It's not lined, but with a good fleece jacket underneath, it's possible to wear it when it's cooler (by cooler, I mean still above zero!). Also, the (removable) belt helps prevent wind from entering from underneath.

    Beanie: Caddie by Soïa&Kyo - Scarf: Miri by Soïa&Kyo - Bag: Palmview by Rudsak

    The first outfit is for colder weather. I chose light accessories, it's still spring, we want light! If it's not warm enough yet, you could even opt for a fur vest to put over it, like the Malverne by Rudsak. It's fashionable and cozy!


    Scarf: Daisie by Soïa&Kyo - Bag: Minka by Matt&Nat

    The second look with the Arabella is much lighter. The coat can be worn open, either without the belt or tied at the back. It's truly an everyday look, easy to wear for work, school, or the grocery store! I love the pop of color brought by the Matt&Nat handbag! I could have opted for a powder blue bag or mint green too... all perfect choices to add some punch to your look!

     

    The second coat I chose is a reversible Point Zéro down jacket (yes, reversible!). That's what charmed me about this jacket; a floral jacket is nice, but having a more sober option in one and the same coat... I love it!

     

    Scarf: luw0448 by Lolë - Bag: Baxter  by Matt&Nat

    Again, the first outfit is cozier with the massive Lolë infinity scarf. Its comfort is truly incomparable! You could add the matching beanie or mittens for even more warmth. I opted for a large tote bag, perfect for slipping your mittens into when the day warms up!

     

    Bag: Mumbai by Matt&Nat

    We keep the same coat, but flip it to the other side. We end up with a super summery down jacket with pretty flowers (not too flashy). I paired it with one of my favorites this season, the small Mumbai backpack by Matt&Nat in Koala color. I added light and shiny jewelry for the final touch... It makes me look forward to Spring!!

     

    I am truly a fan of multi-functional/multi-seasonal items. Not only do we get more value for our money, but we are also less likely to get tired of them!

    And what about you, what's your summer basic?

  • A Quebec vegan look this winter, is that possible? A Quebec vegan look this winter, is that possible?

    A Québécois and vegan look this winter, is it possible?

    Featuring LOLË, Matt&Nat and Point Zero.

     

    Whether for personal, social or ethical reasons, more and more people are becoming aware of buying local (to our great delight), but also of buying vegan (without any animal products). Not only food can be vegan, fashion can be too! Today, I offer you two local AND vegan winter looks!

      

    My first look is perfect for the active girl. Whether for school or work, your two watchwords are: practical and comfortable. I must start by saying that I was very (pleasantly very) surprised by the comfort of the coat I chose (Point Zero 8618535). I felt like I was in my bed, simply! What's super great about it is that it has a removable lining which, once removed, makes the coat lighter and ideal for mild spring or autumn weather. It is insulated with polyester and not down, but I must say I had to check to be sure, it was so warm and cozy! I completed the look with a large infinity scarf (LOLE law0448, also available in black, navy or khaki – 100% acrylic) which adds punch to the very simple coat. The final touch is the Brave backpack from Matt & Nat in vegan leather and recycled materials.

      

     

    The second look is also quite simple, but perhaps a little more chic. I opted for a long black LOLE coat (Katie luw0403). I realized after choosing this coat that it is insulated with down and therefore, it is not 100% vegan. However, the fur is synthetic (and removable) and all materials used are either recycled or eco-responsibly treated, which is not to be neglected! I completed the look with a 100% acrylic LOLE scarf (law0438) which has small silver details that go well with the chic look I was going for. The final touch is another Matt & Nat bag (because I really like them!) This time I opted for the Sheenan handbag (available in black or charcoal), for its practical size and original shape. The shoulder strap option is also a big plus!

          

     

    So there you have it, it is possible to spend the winter warmly while having a clear conscience. There are more and more choices of fur-free coats, so I invite you to check out our selection!!
