The Ultimate Girls Weekend in Montreal

April 19, 2018 MyGoldenBeauty
the-ultimate-girls-weekend-montreal.png

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of going to Montreal for a girls trip! Between all of us living in different cities and hectic schedules it’s always so hard to find a weekend when we are all free! A girls weekend is all about catching up, exploring a new city together, eating yummy food, dancing the night away and making new memories together!

Where To Stay

We found a cute three bedroom one bathroom apartment on Air B&B near Mount-Royal Park. The place was a little small and the walls were thin so you could hear your neighbors but the place was cute and very clean! The location itself was really good as everything was walking distance or a short Uber ride away! The location is about 30 minutes from the airport (you can either Uber or Taxi which is $40).

As far as currency goes, there are only a few places that are cash only which included La Banquise (Poutine) and Notre-Dame Basicilia which take both American and Canadian dollars. We were also able to use our credit cards everywhere (just make sure there are no transaction fees!).

Itinerary
What To Do and What To Eat


Day 1 - Arrival Day

The first night we had dinner at Le Serpent. The place was industrial looking and really cute. For appetizers we started with the Beets appetizer and Burrata appetizer. For the main course I had the Bucatini which was really good. The portions are on the small side but the amount we ordered was just perfect.

After dinner we headed to the infamous La Champagnerie. I would highly suggest this place for a girls weekend or a fun night of dancing. The drinks were really good and we had an area by the bar. They will also let you saber a bottle of champagne if you want! There was also a DJ playing music that night (the music was on point!). 

Day 2

No girls getaway is complete without some sort of spa services! We had massages booked for all six of us at Rain Spa. It is located on the third floor of the HΓ΄tel Place d'Armes. The 2,500 square foot spa has 10 treatment rooms spanning two floors. There are many different services, a traditional hammam room (included with any services more than 60 minutes), and a rest area serving teas and flavored water.

For lunch what we initially wanted to do was go to Olive and Gourmando since they are one of the top rated place in Montreal for lunch. However, there was a 45 minute wait for a table so we ventured around the streets of Old Montreal and passed by the Notre-Dame Basicilia (more details on that down below).

While wondering the streets of the historic Old Montreal and in dire need of food, we discovered Venice MTL. We loved the atmosphere and vibe of this place (everything was honestly so Instagrammable!). We ordered poke, flatbreads, and tacos. Everything tasted really good.

Afterwards, we walked around Old Montreal and stopped in at Maison Christian Faure, which is a charming pastry shop for pastries and tea. It was honestly the best afternoon.

We then headed back to our Air B&B to rest and re-fresh for dinner and a night out. For dinner we headed to La Banquise which is the best poutine place in Montreal. They have over 30 different types of poutine and it was definitely worth the wait! They are open 24/7 so you could literally go there any time you want!

We ended the night at La Distillerie No. 1 which has the most amazing cocktails, a fun DJ, and board games! The menu was so much fun to browse through as it is unique. One of the owners of the restaurant was actually one of the bartenders! 

Day 3 - Departure Day

The last day we ended the trip with some yummy brunch and mimosas at Restaurant Hambar, which is located in the heart of Old Montreal.

Afterwards, we walked over to the Notre-Dame Basilica which is a must-see if you are in Montreal. It was absolutely breathtaking and beautiful.

It was a great way to end the trip and we had a great time visiting Montreal!

What to Wear from Desk to Dinner

Jacket: Zara (Similar Jacket by Ulla Johnson)
V-Neck Shirt: GAP / Jeans: JCrew / Flats: JCrew (Similar)
Work Tote: Tory Burch (Similar) / Watch: Movado Bold  
Necklace: Kate Spade / Sunglasses: Sperry (Similar)

Come Friday there is always the same question I struggle with on a weekly basis which is "What office appropriate outfit can I wear to work and also wear out to dinner?"  Last week was the perfect example of this instance. I was leaving work at 5:30PM and had to be at dinner by 6:00PM over at Fat Salmon Sushi (soo good by the way).

For me the key to a desk to dinner look is a great jacket, polished pair of jeans and a great pair of flats. These high-rise skinny jeans from JCrew are currently my favorite and goes perfectly with these pair of pointy toe flats which are also from JCrew. Since I had a few meetings that day I opted for a beige jacket with a little bit of the fun tassel tie details.  My Zara jacket is currently sold out but was a total dupe for the Ulla Johnson jacket!

There are always a few rule of thumb that I follow when dressing from the office to dinner. The first one being is to always start with the basics. Make sure you have neutral closet staples that fit you well and you can mix and match. That could include a perfect pair of skinny jeans, the perfect fitting white blouse, or a pair of black pants. Secondly, add layers. I always throw on a blazer or cardigan while I am in the office to add to the professional look which can be removed at dinner. Last of all, I always freshen up before heading out the door – may that be running a brush through your hair, powdering your nose and a spray of perfume!

Cold Shoulder Blouse: Zara (Not available online - Similar here)
Jeans: JCrew / Heels: Levity (Similar) / Purse: Saint Laurent
Watch: Movado Bold / Sunglasses: Sperry (Similar)

Like the saying goes, "Florals? For spring? Ground-breaking" (Devil Wears Prada), this years floral trend is back for the spring season but with a fresh new look.

There’s something about spring and the warm weather that always has me craving florals. Despite florals being a predictable trend for spring and the fact that it’s been done many times, this years trend has been updated to include different colors, bold florals (think tropical prints), and statement sleeves (cold shoulder, off the shoulder, etc).

One of my favorite pieces in my closet right  now is this beautiful flowy floral cold shoulder top from Zara (only available in store right now!). This blouse is feminine, airy and romantic - honestly it's perfect for any occasion! I wore this outfit to my husband's birthday dinner last Friday and I can't wait to pair this blouse with shorts for the summer!

I linked a few other of my favorite cold shoulder floral blouses below. What do you think of this trend?

Cardigan: Zara (Similar) / Jeans: JCrew
Flats: JCrew (Last Season) Similar flats here and here
Purse: Chanel / Sunglasses: Sperry

Gone are the days of heavy winter jackets and in are the days of spring cardigans! I am a strong believer in investing in neutral layering pieces that can be worn year-round just like this black cardigan from Zara. Cardigans are the perfect transition piece from winter to spring or layering with your outfit for those cool spring nights. I can't wait to add more neutral cardigans to my spring wardrobe!

Here are my top five neutral cardigans you need for spring:

1. Stripe Long Open Cardigan
2. Drop Shoulder Tie Waist Cardigan
3. Oh Pretty Daze Cardigan
4. Rivington Lightweight Cardigan Sweater
5. Nightingale Cardigan

How to Wear the Gingham Trend

Gingham Top: Who What Wear (Under $25!!) / Jeans: JCrew
Heels: Sam Edelman / Purse: Chanel / Sunglasses: Nicole Miller (Similar) 

One major trending fashion pieces for this spring is gingham! This season the gingham trend is going strong and in a non-traditional way. You can find this trend from a variety of different colors - yellow, red, pink, green, white, black. And in so many different forms! Think tops, cropped pants, dresses, blazers, etc. I definitely haven't seen gingham like this before! It's really a new take on gingham with so many different colors and silhouettes - it's really easy to wear this trend! 

I wanted to keep this look simple by letting the focus of the outfit be this beautiful one-shoulder gingham top. This gingham top really piqued my interest with the tie bow shoulder which is perfect for the spring and summer! The shape of the top is also flattering with its peplum cut. I can't wait to wear this top again in the spring with some white jeans or shorts!

I linked a few of my favorite gingham tops below. Will you be wearing this trend?
