Sweet 701.

Alright, so today I'll let you all in on one of my secret places that you'll most likely find me a few nights per month.

Located in Old Montreal, Suite 701 is a restaurant lounge in the Places D'Armes hotel and one of Old Montreal premier party destinations. THE best if you ask me. The service is impeccable, the food is amazing and the drinks are tasty. It's not as well known as Med or Primadonna, which is why sometimes I like it better.It's more low key (although really not that low-key), although still considered one of Montreal's hotspots. Equipped with different colored lights, this place is FULL on weekends and extremely hard to get a reservation at. It is housed in a room with huge ceilings,a pink bar and an incredible DJ. This is not to be confused with a supperclub. There's no dancefloor at Suite 701. Just tables and a bar. It's got an extensive wine and cocktail list, with a glass of Moet & Chandon and a Raspberry Mojito on it. It has a great menu full of yummy first courses such as an upscale poutine, with homemade fries, sauce, cheese and steak along with a lobster bolognese! They also have bigger plates to share, like their seafood platter with crab legs, shrimp, oysters and muscles. Everytime I go, I have the crab cakes. I know it doesn't sound like a meal, but it to me it. Three crabs cakes and a crab leg is sufficient for me. The best part of the Suite 701 experience are the waiters. They're extremely helpful, polite and know their stuff, in case you may have any questions. This is definitely some place you NEED to go if you're looking for a fun environment with some good food!

The NEW Jersey Shore. Louis V included.

Luxury cars. Beautiful people.Huge homes. 5 star hotels.No, you're not in Los Angeles.

Last summer,my family and I made our annual summer trip to New York City. We visit this wonderful city on every occasion we get throughout the year, but every summer it's a must. We love it. But last summer,we wanted a beach vacation too.We were already going on a trip to Boston and New York and needed some time in the sun and sand, but didn't want to travel far for it. My mom did a little bit of research and found a small beach town in the Jersey Shore. We had gone to typical beach towns like Cape Cod and Virginia Beach and we didn't want the tackiness of that anymore. The town we found was Long Branch. Long Branch is located just an hour from New York City and really is anything but your typical beach town. It's a town full of stylish, fashion-conscious people with money. As one of the hotel people had said," A place for only the rich to vacation." And the hotel clerk was rich.After doing some research, I found that back in the day, some of Hollywood's most famous stars had vacationed there. It has boutique 5-star hotels, designer shops and some pretty trendy restaurants, with, NO souvenir shops in sight! This is a beach town you must visit if you want to truly relax and get some excellent special treatment anywhere you go. Drive down the main boulevard and you'll find some GIGANTIC mansions. The Real Housewives of New Jersey much?

The Royal Day

Tomorrow is a VERY important day. Possibly the most important day in this decade! Kate Middleton and Prince William will wed tomorrow at Westminster Abbey in England. This is a huge event and once they announced their engagement a few months ago, was HUGE news. So, who will be watching tomorrow? What do you think Kate will be wearing? Who will be designing her highly anticipated dress? I guess we'll have to tune in tomorrow to find this out!

The Playground.

Las Vegas is often known as an adults playground. Entertainment, top notch food and nightlife is at it's best in this city. Shopping is also amazing here, with many high end stores, such as Louis Vuitton and Dior. The hotels themselves on Sunset Strip are just enough to make a trip special and worthwhile. In Vegas, anything goes. You want something, it's at your finger tips. It's where the rich go to party. If you stay for a night or even a few days, I suggest staying at the Venetian. Rated one of THE BEST hotels on the strip, it goes the extra mile for it's clients. It has several casiones, it's room are HUGE and it's shopping is spectacular. All this to make you feel as if you're strolling along the canal in Venice. It's incredible! Many many many celebrity chefs also call Vegas home. Mario Batali, Emeril Lagasse as well as Wolfgang Puck. I suggest making reservations at Restaurant Charlie, from the famed Charlie Trotter for some amazing food. Then there's the shopping. Take a stroll down the Venetian Canal Shops in the Venetian and you'll find the boutiques of Kenneth Cole and Dooney & Burke. Vegas is sure to excite you as the city is a constant show in itself.

CRAZY ABOUT SALAD.

My latest craze is salad. Salads are amazing, healthy and extremely yummy.

A really good salad place is Mandy's. The staff is super nice and helpful, knowing all their customers by name and the service is really good and quick. They have a ton of topics, including different fruits, meats, cheeses and crunchy stuff to choose from, along with a "salad of the month".

They have three locations, all located in a Mimi&Coco store. One on Shebrooke Street, the other on Wellingdon and the other on Laurier. I've been to all three locations and I can say they are all equally as fabulous. It's definitely worth the trip and the price.

From Rome To Milan.

On a recent friday night, I was doing some shopping for my high school prom when I came across a small store in Old Montreal, my favorite part of the city. I decided to go in and see what it was all about, and to my surprise, I fell in love with this store. It wasn't like anything I had ever seen before. Located on St. Paul Street, LOU LOU carries only designer clothing. Italian designer clothing. You can find anything from Giorgio Armani, to Roberto Cavalli to Dolce and Gabbana, each item handpicked by the store owner and shipped back to Montreal from Europe every single season. I died when I heard this. I was in shock. I was surprised. I mean, how many stores do this? None that I know of. Obviously, after looking through the various racks in the store, I finally came across THE dress, a gorgeous Roberto Cavalli gown, like the one Miley Cyrus wore on her Marie Claire cover and like a slew of other celebrities have worn to various red carpet events. It was love, and I'll definitely be returning to check out the next collection once the owner has returned from his next trip in a month!

The Face of Ogilvy IS The Face of Canada.

So, I'm a sucker for fashion. That's no secret. I LOVE LOVE LOVE fashion. A few years ago, I discovered an amazing model, who is now known to be my favorite. I also found out that she's Canadian...which is a plus!

Coco Rocha was born in Toronto, Ontario and moved to British Columbia at a very young age. She is Irish, Russian and Welsh and belongs to Elite Models Management.

The reason why I personally like her is not just because she's another pretty, skinny model but because she's a pretty, HEALTHY model. She's someone who has spoken out on many occasions about eating disorders in the industry and how it's important to be healthy and take care of your body. She is a normal weight and on top of that, she is also very talented.

From her early teenage years, she has practiced and participated in many Irish tap dancing competitions and has walked on every runway possible, from Dior to Chanel to Yves St. Laurent.

She is also the face of Ogilvy Department Stores as of recently and she looks gorgeous in their ads.

Go Coco!

Below is a GORGEOUS video of Coco Rocha's wedding. I've watched it sooo many times, I love it, it's just beautiful!

ADDICTED.

I admit it. I'm an addict. I'm addicted to Hollywood gossip. Everyday I come back from school and check 7 of my favorite Hollywood gossip sites! Crazy? Kind of! Interesting? Very!

See, over the years, I've gone through sooo many gossip sites, and i'm talking about hundreds, but I've ended up picking my favorites and saving them in my bookmarks! I'll be sharing them with you today, including the links, and i'll see what you think!

BABY ZOE!

This may come as a little late, but I'm super excited to announce that one of my FAVORITE people, has just given birth to a baby boy!

Rachel Zoe and husband Rodger Berman just gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Skyler Morrison Berman and this past thursday the world got to see their little bundle of joy for the first time! He was born in Los Angeles, where they both reside.

Zoe had confirmed in November on her twitter page that she was indeed pregnant with her first child!

This is super exciting news and I'm looking forward to seeing the styles this baby will be rocking as he gets older!

Congratulations!

Khloe Khloe Khloe!

This past month, the Middle East released their own edition of Cosmopolitain Magazine, possibly one of the most famous magazines in the whole entire world! I was pleased to see that Khloe Kardashian was on the cover of this issue? Why, you may ask? Simple because I feel like she's an amazing role model for women everywhere and she continues to inspire women. I'm excited to go and pick up a copy and see what she has to say.

Fashion Turned Ugly.

As you know, on this blog I often talk about fashion. Fashion shows. Fashion stores. And just fashion in general. We all think of fashion as being this glamourous thing that only the rich and famous can only be a part of, but what many people don't realize, is that there's an ugly side to fashion and the fashion industry.

Did you know that 1.5% of Canadian women aged 15-24 suffered from an eating disorder?

Did you know that eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness?

Yes, I'm talking about eating disorders. These deadly disease has taken the lives of millions of people and the fashion world has played a role in this. Models are told to lose weight from their size 2 frame constantly and the everyday woman is impacted by these models and the media and "the norm" is no longer a healthy beautiful woman. It's a girl who's rib cage is exposed and who's hair is falling out completely from malnutrition.

I really believed that it was my duty to address this serious issue.

A new six episode television series does an even better job at addressing it, and showcasing the REAL lives of those living with anorexia and bulimia, without sparing any details or deadly images. It's called "What's Eating You" and can be seen on E!

Let's please shed this unhealthy image of what is BEAUTIFUL and find what TRUE beauty is.
