I’ve been talking to reporters again

This time I’m in the National Post in the story called: Fall fashion wishlist: What I want right now It’s that time again. You know, “season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.” But for many of us, it’s also hunting season. Fall fashion-hunting season, that is. September’s fashion mags are full to bursting with images of impossibly lanky people – with apparently bottomless pocketbooks and no end of leisure – striding forth into the brisk autumn air dressed in riding boots, designer jackets and loads of cashmere. Who are these people and how can they afford this stuff? Do they not have day jobs?

The Sulpician Fransois Dollier de Casson was its architect, and the present-day Notre-Dame Street served as the original site. Its construction, in Baroque style was completed between 1672 and 1683. By 1800, Dollier’s church had become too small, and the Fabrique decided to build the church we know today.

A jacket from Etro One of my amazing consignment finds. 50 bucks! Retail value at the time, $1595 (the original price tag was in the pocket). It’s a beautiful jacket that MJ kept pestering me to buy when it was priced higher. I’m not sure what season it’s from. If anyone can place it, let me know in the comments. This picture was taken in Montreal in my hotel room at the Armor Manoir Sherbrooke. I loved the look of the photo so I needed an excuse to use the image in a blog post.
