Anthropologie, $240. Photography by Carlo Mendoza (styling by Breanna Gow for judyinc.com).
With its flirty clothes and cheeky decor accessories, Anthropologie (2130 de la Montagne St., anthropologie.com) brings out my playful side. Adding local flavour to this brand new location are designs from Montrealer labels Noémiah, Tamé and Elaine Ho.

Cashmere for only six dollars? Oui, s’il vous plaît! Jacob (jacob.ca) recently debuted its new line of nail lacquers and I’ve already cozied up to Cashmere Cardi, a knockout neutral hue with a hint of pink. Perfect for the boardroom and beyond.

Just shy of a traditional wingtip and meant to hover somewhere between European- and Asian-inspired looks, makeup artist Sebastien Tardif’s eye for the Martin Lim Spring 2012 is so fresh, so clean, so… spring! “The liner has a clean edge instead of coming to a point,” Tardiff told me backstage before the show.
