I loved all your trip preparations, especially the red suit and Metamorphosis scarf. All your tweed skirts were stunning. I hope you had an excellent trip.

Great clothes but remember your feet are KEY - Montreal salt and slush have no mercy on anyone so choose footwear wisely. <br />3. Walk everywhere. <br /><br />4. Absolutely go to Bar George in the old Mt Stephen Club for drinks - you'll love it, I promise. https://www.bargeorge.ca/ <br /><br />5. Make a reservation right now for a table window at L'Express http://restaurantlexpress.com/en/ quintessential French dining, has been there forever, there is no sign and is on St Denis. They fill up fast. <br /><br />6. Walk through McGill campus, along Prince Arthur in the ghetto and up St Laurent Street. The girls will love Scandale http://boulevardsaintlaurent.com/en/repertoire/scandale/ probably not your taste but has been there since the 70's and Quebecois designs and intense stockings. Just check it out. Check out Schwartz's the old smoked meat deli and before hand, the European Deli and Old Europe for cheese. Walk up to Laurier where there are great boutiques and eat at either Lemeac https://www.restaurantlemeac.com/ (lunch is great) hip, modern delicious moules, great lunch menu or the traditional Chez Levesque https://en.chezleveque.ca/ - shops are great there. <br />7. After lunch walk back over the mountain - go to the lookout absolutely. <br /><br />Walking west you can pop into Bagels on Greene http://www.bagelsongreene.com/ - Greene Avenue has lovely shops, Westmount is beautiful - but this is if you have time. <br /><br />8. Go to the Atwater Market - lots and lots of fun. Also for a funkier dinner try Tuckshop https://www.tuckshop.ca/ for eclectic and funkola. <br /><br />9. Old Montreal is an absolute must - not sure if you can get into Notre Dame but it is worth it. The Hotel Nelson is the BEST place to stay and lunch is fun there as well. Lots to see and do in Old Montreal. Stash, Barroco, Garde Manger are all safe bets and EVERYBODY goes to Olive and Gourmando for breakfast - you cannot make reservations. Fly Gin from what I understand is a super popular night club but not sure how old your girls are. <br />#26in case the email is an old one - have fun!Also go to St Viateur Bagels for the originals....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-70579207133456429312020-02-10T12:32:31.829-05:002020-02-10T12:32:31.829-05:00NEVER been to MONTREAL!

Your outfits are so classy and versatile. I love anything Hermes and mourn for the old J Crew quality. With the warmer upcoming temps predicted, they will be just perfect.<br /><br />Bienvenue et bonne vacance,<br />Catherineauntkittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07277644979965414838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-49238731958431065602020-02-08T12:14:04.482-05:002020-02-08T12:14:04.482-05:00I love what you are bringing!

My great Aunt Tirzah left me a mink jacket. I wear it in the snow. It’s really vintage circa 1940’s with a swing style and plush wide cuffs and a collar that can be turned up for added warmth. Your sweaters tights and skirt combos should keep you cozy.

I like how you pair the silk scarves with the wool suits- I may just copy that look. And what a brilliant way to re-work your mother-in-law's coat. I often look at clothing I own and wonder how I can tweak it here and there. I have never been to Montreal but it is on my wish list. I'm looking forward to your upcoming post on your trip so I can get around to planning mine! Thanks for all these fabulous posts- I'm enjoying themDanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05195689806705249868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-9123125095821968822020-02-08T09:34:07.000-05:002020-02-08T09:34:07.000-05:00That IS a great idea to have the mink coat reworke...That IS a great idea to have the mink coat reworked. I've got a fur coat of my granny's, but I'm afraid the skin might be too brittle to have it reworked. But I love the idea. Great outfits, Dani. Old J. Crew is the best. The quality was top notch.Vavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09403948691359698818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-50543653229713414332020-02-08T05:21:35.936-05:002020-02-08T05:21:35.936-05:00What a super idea to have the mink coat worked int...What a super idea to have the mink coat worked into a lining under a weather proof outer coat, and from my limited but very frozen experience of -20 + Canadian temperatures, it will be absolutely perfect. I love your tweed suits, and your pink and yellow fair isle sweaters. Perfection. I have been to Montreal, also in May like SunnyDay - it was in 2013 and we enjoyed it very much. What a charming city.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-54323693755722244722020-02-07T22:31:38.633-05:002020-02-07T22:31:38.633-05:00I have been to Montreal.

Old Town is pretty and historic and as close to European atmosphere as you can get in Canada. Have a wonderful time!<br /><br />You have some gorgeous old J. Crew pieces. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite though I think the red suit with the Hermes scarf might be it. All the tweed pieces are wonderful. What an incredibly clever idea to have the fur coat redone with the fur on the inside! I'm sure your mother in law would be so happy to know you are warmed by her coat and think of her when you wear it. SunnyDayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06398034412926361235noreply@blogger.com
