I went out yesterday to shoot a special winter look in Montreal’s very own Parc Lafontaine.
Look features clothes by Adidas, Free Country and knee-high leather boots by Canadian company Martino Footwear, along with a woven rainbow scarf I brought back from Guatemala in 2013.

Montreal recently held it’s very first plus-size fashion week under the name Montreal + Fashion Week (a.k.a. MTLplusFW) during the May 20-22 weekend. Though fashion is a topic I hardly mention on this blog, I have to command the very inclusive nature of the event, and not necessarily because I was a guest speaker at the event (click here to find out more about “Pack Small-Think Big!”), but because the event also explored not only plus-size fashion and different aspects of well-being for plus-size women. ►►►
As humans, we have this natural, overwhelming need of labeling things… and people. So I recently started wondering about what label (s) I carry, as a blogger. ►►►
After reading an article on “inspiring plus-size models from Montreal”, in a newspaper, last February, I noticed that we still have a looong way to go to reach “fat tolerance”. ►►►
