Editors' Picks: My 5 Favourite Things
Ever wonder what items our editors can't live without? Today Jennifer Nachshen, our Montreal editor shares hers:
I’m far more fickle about my faves than Maria Von Trapp ever was. Here are the top five I’m falling for this season (we’ll see what happens in a month or two):
Rag & Bone Denim
I’m so in love with the brightly coloured and patterned denim from Rag & Bone that I’m anxiously awaiting a trip to NYC to buy a pair in every shade. Until then I can get my fix at TNT. TNT, 4100 Ste. Catherine St. West, Montreal, 514-9351588, www.rag-bone.com
Anemone Earrings
These Anemone earrings by Esty for Birks ($275) may look simple, but whenever I wear them people come in for a closer look to fully appreciate the ocean-inspired design. Birks, 1240 Phillips Square, Montreal, 514-397-2511, www.birks.com
NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in Carthage
I wear NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in Carthage so much that a fuchsia pout has become my signature style. $30 at The Bay, 585 Ste. Catherine St. W., Montreal, 514-281-4422, www.narscosmetics.ca
J. Crew Leopard Pumps
I never considered myself an animal print kind of girl until I tried on these leopard pumps on a recent visit to Toronto’s J. Crew ($424). Now I wear these with everything. Including my leopard print skirt. Rowr. At www.jcrew.com (until we get a J. Crew in Montreal!)
Dry Vodka Martini
My bevvy of choice these days is a dry vodka martini on the rocks, in a rocks glass with extra olives. “So, basically a glass of vodka with lots of olives?” one waiter asked. Fair enough. I have it made with Belvedere (RED), a Special Edition of the classic vodka, giving 50 per cent of profits to help fight HIV/AIDS in Africa, so I’m saving the world, one cocktail at a time. —Jennifer Nachshen
