Street Style from the Penfield Fall Collection Launch, at OTH Shop, Montreal.

Magasin General: Bruxe Design Store Launch

La Grande Ouverture du Magasin General, took place last night curated by twins Mer and Oli Van Roost, brain-children behind Bruxe Design and Tiny Little Chairs.   Situated on Sherbrooke street in NDG,  the reason why they targeted this spot  "It's where we grew up, I live up near Monkland, you can't get the real Mom & Pop vibe that you find down here."

The gentlemen have created a strong lifestyle image throughout the shop: a cross between heritage branding, urban streetwear, skate culture and contemporary design. 'Bravo,We love it!'

The store was filled with so many quirky details and hidden pleasures, note: miniature tea set (below right.)

The mannequin really made himself at home, by taking off his socks and shoes (above right.)   The vintage spats below are a personal favorite.

Store owners' own: Bruxe Design - The Felt Mo-tie! (Get ready for Movember!)

 Lolitta Dandoy, Clin D'Oeil Blogger looked amazing (as usual) in her whirlwind of earth-toned patterns.

Unexpected pleasure: I bumped into a fellow LaSalle College Veteran, now Montreal Stylist Tatiana Cinquino (left, right: myself.)

What's a party without pussy bows and Pendleton?

 

I just had to grab a snap of this guy: Fish tail parka, chinos, plaid, baller cap, lace belt which turns out to be one of his own designs. Check-out:

Rings: Cease and Desist are Montreal Designs.

After expressing how heritage brand styled these kids were, they claimed to have not have dressed for the occasion.   They just naturally ooze 'cool.'   I choose to believe the story, as the guy with the authentic Moccasins slippers told me he was just to lazy to put proper shoes on.   (I hope he lives close by!)Merci, Bonsoir! ...I'll definitely be back on a regular basis.

Crisp Air and Pumpkin Pie

 
The Season has changed: The air is crisp, the leaves are falling and Geese have flown over.  The transition from a summer to fall wardrobe is not easy.   Suddenly you can't remember what you loved to wear before short shorts and Toms.

Thanks Giving Weekend: I'm wearing worn brown saddle booties, rust socks, and a belted in Navajo inspired pashmina shawl... and so the Autumn Fashion Story goes.
