montreal musings Montreal
(May.19.10)
A stroll down The Main is pleasant any time of year (except when construction starts). And judging by the dust and noise, summer has officially arrived.
But I’m talking about the shopping, everything from sleek furniture stores to chic boutiques. The flirty fashions for spring have arrived, and I got a peek at the spring/summer collection hitting the shelves at Onze. 
They retail labels including MAVI, numph, covet and Domino, and the newest styles are splurge-worthy, to say the least. I love this vest from MAVI, the perfect layering piece ($87.99).
But I was even more taken with the flirty dresses, like this one from Tatiana and Natouch for $39.99, or this sweet Orange Julep dress by Nik & Mo at $64.99. Some colour that’s sorely lacking in my wardrobe…
They also sell Toms, some of my favourite casual footwear. For every pair purchased, another pair is donated to a
child in need. $54.99 per pair or $109.99 for their crazy new wrap-around boots.
I love it when fashion and do-gooding collide.
