Sinn für Mode

With less than 17 days left until my voyage to Europe, it's beginning to show in everything I do, from the way I think to the way I see food. While America has its benefits, I truly see New York City and Toronto as the heart of European cities in North America. Because of this, I plan to submerge myself in the European culture the moment I step foot in the Zurich airport. Then again, I don't really see another option considering that I have to spend a great deal of time...which I am not complaining. One of the things that I particularly take note of the fashion. I make it my goal to not succumb to the fashion-less sheep of Barrie, Ontario fashion, so I take notice of what is trending in the heart of Zurich, Milan, and Bucharest, and with those notes in mind, I can bring that fashion over the pond, back in Canada and America.

With that frame of thinking in mind, I've already fallen in love with several brands. APC is a French fashion house, taking over several different countries, Canada included. With its clean, sharp lines for French class and sophistication, I've already began drooling the Spring and Summer collection. I highly suggest you visit their website.

I've known long about c'est masion de mode, but it's only recently do I realize just how magical Simons is. Located in Quebec, the French region of Canada, the exclusivity elevates its enchantment. Boasting and lavishing in Euro-like styles, it's like a francophile's dream come true. Located only in Montreal and Quebec City, it truly captures the heart of the beautiful city of Quebec and metropolitan of Montreal.

Joe Fresh is a Canadian fashion brand, but it is rapidly expanding past the border, with its first store in New York. With clean European designs, affordable prices, and excellent quality, it is not a surprise that the moment I want to come home from school, that is one of the first places I want to shop.

My tumblr and pinterest addiction has a good use: I'm always discovering new brands, new ways to amp my style, and different ways to do my hair. However, when I was tumblr several months ago and I stumbled upon this lovely bag, my heart almost stopped. Genuine leather, the right size, a lovely color...it's like a match made in heaven! While it may not be from France, Quebec, or Canadian (with a European influence), this company from Massachusetts makes its American roots alright with me
