Winnipeg: The baby blazer
Winter’s here. And as much as it breaks my heart to say the words, I will persevere–by going shopping. I was in need of an autumn jacket and knew exactly what I was looking for, but could never find: the mini schoolboy blazer that’s been dotting the runways for the past few seasons.

Working it
Honestly, I don’t know how anyone can get dressed in the morning. Today’s Wall Street Journal reports that many companies are looking potential employees to dress in a way that expresses their soul. That’s a lot of pressure.

Charlottetown: Bike as accessory
I heart bikes. There is nothing cuter than a skinny boy on a brightly-coloured vintage framed bike with a basket. Lucky for me I live in flat, beautiful Prince Edward Island where hipsters in Ray-Bans practically live on their arty two wheelers year-round.

Winnipeg: Back from the dead
A tailor is a girl’s best friend. I am the queen of thrift shopping and a believer that no girl’s closet is complete without some good ol’ used and abused pieces from the past.
Seeing as floral is everywhere this fall, I went on a hunt to my favourite boutique: Value Village (1695 Ellice Avenue, 204-774-1315, and three other Winnipeg locations). Lo and behold, a long billowing floral frock complete with disastrous sleeves called out to me from its hideous guise. It looked like it would never see another owner but I knew my miracle worker at Tam Custom Tailor Shop (802 Ellice Avenue, 204-775-1160) could bring it back to life.
With sleeves cut free and a few meters chopped in length, the result is a floral frock so chic it looks like it walked right off the runways.

Glorious fall
As leaves turn red and yellow in a lovely chromatic symphony, Montreal is having a blast. Thanks to the long weekend I checked out a few movies at the Festival du Nouveau Cinema (nouveaucinema.ca); Patti Smith’s poetic biography was my favorite. On Saturday night Pop Levi played a few mellow songs at La Tanière. As more film nerds and hipsters came in, Ninja Tune’s DJs took over for a wild dance party. The festival goes until next week, so try to check it out—the films are amazing.

Pop goes the city
If you were wondering why Montreal was invaded by so many hipsters last week, I have the answer: Pop Montreal (popmontreal.com).
