the weather is changing and breaking my stride.

finally, here it is, my weekend in montreal ...


we stayed at the alt hotel, right smackdown in the middle of dix30's lifestyle neighborhood, which is basically a closed in neighborhood that i'd never have to leave - food, clothing, shelter, concerts, gyms & spas are all available in the vicinity - if it weren't for school on monday. the hotel is brand new, and although i will admit that my expectation weren't exactly sky high, i was pleasantly surprised.


two queen-sized beds took up the most part of the room, where ikea accessories and neo-classic accents reigned. an art-deco chair was strategically placed in front of the tall windows, with a perfect view of the entirety of the outlet stores.

my purchases:



dark wash denim shorts, bright pink interlock mini, color-block tee, basic tees in sangria, white & orange, triblend-like tank, neo-hippie dress (all from h&m) and floral print bandaid skirt (from winners). the last skirt may look a bit odd but trust me, it looks like the lovechild of herve leger and heatherette or something. unfortunately, i didn't have time to scavenge the accessory departement, because i was craving a new pair of sunnies. i did find some at winners, though, with a faux-chloe look about them, but they were white and i wanted something different.

all in all, i'd say the weekend was a definite success.

zoë.

Wow, that is a prettyyyyy nice hotel. And those are great buys!!! SO much you could do with them. Ah, the wonder that is H&M.

That hotel room looks really nice.

Love the tri-blend like grey H&M top you bought, I've been thinking of getting that too as the AA tri-blend top seems a bit overpriced for the quality you get.

Nice blog by the way ^o^
