In the spirit of a B&W jacket here are a few options that are not checked but just as lovely.
This short number would be great over a springy dress.
And this one is true to the fit of the original jacket, kinda perfectly oversize.

Look for less: Check it!
I saw this photo of Miranda Kerr a few weeks ago and was mesmerized by that lovely jacket! I love B&W for Spring but those vertical stripes everywhere are driving me crazy. This though, I could do.
So I found a few inspired pieces that I thought were worth sharing.

The Look for Less: D'Orsay
And now I just can't seem to stop seeing this simple beautiful silhouette.
3.1 Philip Lim worn by Diane Kruger
Proenza Schouler worn by Kirsten Dunst
I did see a dead ringer for the Jenni Kayne's at Chinese Laundry in the US for those of you lucky enough!

Zara has a few heeled options that are also beautiful.

How about taking advantage of Spring's black and white trend too.
I find this silouhette classic, romantic (mostly from the name) and sexy. By definition a d'Orsay shoe is open enough to show the foot's arch but I prefer the heel being completely separate from the front of the shoe. You may think your foot would slip out but I've had flats in this style that were very comfortable.
What do you think about this style?

Las Vegas in style
Our last stop before flying home is Las Vegas! I’m
excited to take hubby to my favourite spots (especially here for breakfast). While I won't be partying it up I thought it would be fun to make a style board anyway and what's more appropriate for Vegas than glitz and glam? Gold and glitter. You get the idea.
What was most fun in Vegas (to me) was walking up and down the strip and looking at the ridiculousness that is Vegas. And also the people watching. So comfy footwear is key but you will definitely get the chance to dress up to the nines as well!

Tour in style
While on our trip we will be mostly hiking and driving. But I was inspired by the colours of the landscapes to create this somewhat practical style board for touring the Grand Canyon.

Fly in style
Hubby and I have been planning our spring break trip to the
Grand Canyon for some time, and honestly all I can think about is finding the
perfect Navajo print scarf to bring with me. I know, I have issues.
Anyway, to soothe myself I have made… you guessed it, a style board! The solution to all the world’s
problems.
Also some essentials: good socks, lip care and a rich moisturizer. Sunnies upon arrival are always welcome.
We're flying out today so first: airport style. It’s very important to be comfortable
which does not have to exclude style. I like to plan to wear my bulkiest shoes on the plane (saves some
packing room, especially if you are carrying on) and obviously pieces I can mix
and match throughout the vacation even if the weather will be different on
arrival. Layering really helps with this.

The Spring Standards
The song that's currently on replay on my i-Phone? Queen of the Lot by The Spring Standards. I love of all the instruments, the chippy beat, and the video is pretty cute too.
I dare you to only play it only once.

Kazu ▪ Montréal
1862 Sainte Catherine West
Montréal, Québec
514.937.2333
website
I had visited Kazu once before to try out their ramen noodle (only served at lunch time). I had been itching to go back but going to Kazu takes a bit of organization as they're very busy and don't take reservations. They open at 5:30 PM and the best way to get in is to get there half an hour or so earlier and wait in line. We were lucky (back in October...) and were the last people in line to be seated at 5:30 PM. This meant the poor people right behind us had to wait for the next seating.
Kazu is probably Montréal's original izakaya. It offers a variety of Japanese fare on their menu and on white and yellow paper posted on the walls. Elle, our friend E and myself decided to share different plates. We started with the homemade tofu kimchi salad ($5). Anything with kimchi will get my attention. This salad was packed with flavours between the pickled vegetables and dressing, piled on the soft tofu.
We also shared a tofu hot pot soup. I really enjoyed the savoury soup, especially after waiting in the cold for half an hour.
The sea bass salad ($25) consisted of a piece of fried sea bass with a sweet and sour sauce, and topped with all sorts of crackly items.
I had really been wanting to try the shrimp pancake salad ($10). It's pretty much the shrimp burger with less bread and topped with a salad. You can't go wrong with a homemade shrimp patty.
The food at Kazu is totally worth the wait although arguably it would be nicer to wait in the summer than our cold winter months. The small restaurant makes it cozy and you won't be able to find food like this anywhere else. I also recommend ordering one of their ponzu drinks; we all really liked it.
