A little bit of E C O N O M Y

Good morning,

You know that usually my posts are about FASHION. But today, thanks to Jennifer, I am being a little less materialistic…

This post is actually about something important going on in the world these days. The Occupy wall Street. Since I am not really touched by this movement, I am being honest saying that I never really took the time to read about it, think about it and take a position. First, I had to do some research: Occupy Wall Street is actually a people-powered movement that started on September 17, 2011 in Manhattan Financial District. It fights against “the corrosive power of major banks and multinational corporations over the democratic process”.

Like I said, since I am not affected by this, I am the type of people that will not have an opinion on the subject, but today I read about people who are being part of the so called “99%”. I have to say that I was simply shocked! I am aware that some people don’t live as well as some are living in the province of Québec like I do, but I certainly did not know that it was the majority of the North Americans. I can’t believe some people have to work all their life for minimum salary and can afford almost nothing or are just unemployed.  I don’t think this is fair. This is why I am finally taking a side! I am proud to say that I definitely agree with Occupy Wall Street.

I don’t know why but I am feeling that tonight, I will go to sleep smarter than I was when I woke up this morning…

Fashion Vs. University

Hi everyone!

This week everything seems to be about university, even the Maclean's issue is the 2011 university rankings. For those who are going next year I guess you are pretty stressed out. On the contrary, I am really excited. As you probably know, I am planning to go to the University of Ottawa next year to pursue my studies in languages. Consequently, all this talking about university, faithful to my habits, makes me want to talk about FASHION.

It is certain that at my first day as a university student, I want to look as good as possible. The best I could dream of is to look like Blair Waldorf at her fist day to N.Y.U:

Obviously, that's never gonna happen because we are talking about Gossip Girl and New-York City! We can always dream...

Still, what I can offer you is Four ways to wear one item. Girls, we always like to keep something that belongs to our boyfriends and since it is cold out there, the Boyfriend Sweater is the perfect item to wear in your university classes. It is not too big, just oversized enough to be cozy. Loose or belted, layered or on it's own, this piece of clothing definitely deserves a place in your closet.

1. Layering a bright shirt under a cozy sweater will keep you warm in cold weather, wear it with skinny jeans. Those enter perfectly into some rain boots that keep you warm as well.
2. it is really cute to add a blazer or cardigan on top of a dress when it is cold, but have you ever tried adding a sweater? It completely transform the look! Don't forget to belt the sweater it will give your waist more definition.
3. A loose sweater is actually perfect with casual outfits like jeans. You can mix with more polished accessories to contrast the relaxed look.
4. At last, who said you couldn't look chic wearing your boyfriend sweater? Pair it with a bandage skirt, tights and a pair of heels and your the perfect image of comfortable and dressy at the same time!
