Quel Mavi es-tu?

Mon jeans préférée de Mavi est Serena; un coup assez skinny que se porte bien avec tout.

Comment décrirais-tu la coupe?

Serena est un coup étroit avec une taille basse.

Pourquoi est-ce ton style préféré?

J’aime être comfortable et pour un jeans étroit Serena est très comfortable. Aussi, c’est un coup qui va simplement avec tout et peut être porté pour beaucoup d’occasions.

Comment le portes-tu?

Je le  porte avec présque tout; avec un t-shirt style ‘Kate Moss’, une veste noir et des talons.

Éléonore in Mavi’s Alexa

Which Mavi are you?

My favorite Mavi style is the Alexa

What is the fit like?

Super skinny, Mid-rise

Why is this style your favorite?

With my long legs I have trouble finding jeans that fit well, but the Alexa with the 34’’ inseam is perfect for me! The cut is really flattering and they’re not only stylish, they also offer great support and comfort! I also find that a mid-rise does wonders for the behind ;)

How do you style it?

I wear them with everything! Crop tops, plain t-shirts, even under tunics! The darker ones also work well as dressier pants, so I don’t hesitate to match them with a glittery top when it’s time to go out!

Who?

Robyn, the blogger behind Fashionista 514 ( check out her blog www.fashionista514.com)

Where? Boutique Onze on St-Catherine

Robyn Describe your style in three words

Classic, punchy, and practical

Do you have any style icons?

My grandmother, who looked remarkably like Katherine Hepburn. She was a strong independent woman who ran the family industrial textile business. She was the type of woman who would go hunting on the weekends with my grandfather up at the lake, and shop at Holts while stopping for tea in the garden at the Ritz on her days off. She was a slender and tall woman with ashy brown hair that she would curl. She had these had incredibly intimidating and icy blue eyes like a Husky. She was a real natural beauty who never really wore much makeup.  Her style was utilitarian and unisex, but she also knew how to be very glamorous with leather gloves, neck scarves and oversized YSL glasses from the 70′s.

Is there one piece of clothing in your wardrobe that you can’t live without?

I have quite a few pieces! It’s hard for me to just name one. I have an emotional attachment to most of my clothes!  A lot of the items in my wardrobe were either things that I picked up while I was traveling, that people gave me to, or that I simply associate to my personal timeline!

What is your first fashion memory?

I remember when I was 6 years old being obsessed with these moccasin slippers my aunt gave me that had fur trim and beads. They were supposed to be for special occasions but I wore them everyday!

What is your favorite thing about being a full time fashion blogger?

The writing for sure!!

What do you love most about Montreal?

I love that even though Montreal is a large city, it still feels like a small community!  I can walk down the street and see five people I know!  It has a certain laidback, friendly atmosphere that I find comfortable.

Where do you like to Shop?

FarFetch.com( it’s a platform for boutiques from around the word to sell their lines, sometimes lines that are very exclusive and hard to get or vintage)

Saks Fith Avenue,

Bergdorf Goodman

Holt Renfrew

Toyko 7( This is an AMAZING vintage store in New York where you can find really great pieces. Last time I was there I bought a pair of brand new Chanel heels for 200$)

Mavi Jeans at Onze!

30
Jan
2012


I asked Lou Lou our wonderful manager at Onze Boutique on St-Laurent, which Style Mavi Jeans is her favorite!

Here is what she said…

Which Mavi are u?

Alexa!!


What is the fit like?

Mid-Rise Skinny.

Why is this style your favorite?

First of all because of they are so comfortable! You can’t go wrong with Mid-rise jeans! And because they have alot of stretch in them, it feel like your not even wearing jeans! Also this style goes with almost everything! It’s very practical that way. I’m starting to have quite the Alexa collection!

How do you style it?
With boots for sure, and leg warmers in the winter! In terms of tops, I like wearing my Alexa jeans with a sweater or a long tunic. Sometimes I will wear a top tucked in the jeans with a nice belt. Whatever top I end up wearing, I usually like wearing a looser fit , since the jeans are quite form fitting!

Style Profile: Nadia Naeme El-Zein

2012

A few nights ago at Boutique Onze , I met up with an old friend from fashion school, Nadia Naeme El-Zein, to talk about her style and her new job at LOULOU Magazine!

Nadia, describe your personal style in three words.

Hard to say in three words but certain things stay constant over the years – I love graphic patterns, bold colors and feminine shapes and I truly am a happier person in heels.  Some people feel more comfortable in jeans – I enjoy a tall shoes… the taller the better.

I gravitate towards pieces that combine a retro feminine shape with a modern twist in cut, color or pattern.


What inspires your style?

I (naturally) frequently look at fashion blogs, sights and magazines and things always sort of seep into your subconscious that you want to try or aspire to… budget is always sadly a bit of a factor.

As far as individuals, I really love Olivia Palermo’s ability to mix high and low flawlessly, Elisa Nalin’s (stylist) exuberant use of color, Giovanna Battaglia’s (fashion editor Vogue Italia)  impeccable looks ranging from casual to super polished and Eva Fontanelli’s (Italian Elle) quirky and cute ensembles.

I am not into fashionistas or having the latest trends, I respect people who know themselves and have cultivated a one-of-a-kind look that speaks to something bigger about them.  True style, in my humble opinion, is one part clothes, one part physicality and one part personality.  Some people, not me but I know a few, can make an old stained t-shirt look like couture; they have a way about them… a way of moving and talking that is just style personified.  Damn those people!!!

Tell me a little bit about working at LOULOU Magazine.

I love working in a creative environment.  When I write I try to put myself in the shoes (cough: heels) of the person reading the magazine or website.  Everyone wants those little tidbits that help them, inspire them or entertain them in their hectic lives.  I hope to add a little something positive to those I reach.

What item can you not live without?

Well one is pretty hard to pick!  Haha variety is the spice of sartorial life.  Top items:

Opaque Black Tights: I am petite so with a good heel this combo gives me the optical illusion of a few extra inches!

Zara Blazer: Zara has the best blazer cuts.  They aren’t the cheapest but if you do the whole cost per wears – they are worth their weight in gold…over dresses, with jeans and a T….etc.

Charm Bracelets: I don’t wear them every day but I’ve unofficially started collecting them.  I love antique charms that tell a story… I love imagining the other person that wore them and the luck they brought!

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLS. Platform, stiletto, wedge, stacked – I don”t discriminate*.

*(Except for kitten heels, which don’t count!  That’s not a heel, people!)
