Get your fix with Aiguille et Fil (which means “needle and thread” in French), held by the super talented Liz.

Tunics, tops, dresses, pants! Wonderful shapes and details that can also be done custom sized! There’s just no reason not to love :D

Geometric Jessalin

The geometric trend is not a trend anymore. It’s a MANIA! Can’t help but loving it, in fact!

Jessalin Beutler totally took charge of this fact, and offer great hand-painted clothing sporting triangles, lines and rectangles, as well as flashy color combos, for our viewing (and wearing) pleasure! I want like 10 different things! :D

Is it me or do these look especially hot on the dudes? (Totally a single chick comment, I know. lol)

Check it out, yo!

Over at Riordan Roache, clothings are like feelings. Each piece expresses such strong emotions, from confidence to fragility.

Cuts have an old feel to them but are absolutely brought to this contemporary era!

And pictures are just well, so dreamy! Don’t you just feel in France or Italy somewhere when looking at them? :)

Forest Tribute

“Forest Raft 1″, by VanessaSky.

So, I come from the woods. I live in the city. I am good in the city! But some days, I wake up and I just miss the woods so SO much.

I’ve been thinking for the past few weeks about perhaps loosing my tattoo virginity in a nearby future. I’m pretty much decided, but still a little scared to be honest! So I’m going with some friends (who are all tattoo non-virgins, like A LOT lol) today to the Art Tattoo Show that’s being held here in Montreal this weekend, to get me that extra information to decide if I want it for sure!

My idea for a first tattoo would be something woodsy, like a few leaves with an acorn and a branch maybe! It’s a very basic idea, but I’d like it to represent where I grew up :) A tribute to the forest, where I breathe better!

With that said, found a few woodsy related items I really adore! Check ‘em out! :)
