Zara, the Spanish fashion clothing and accessories giant is now in Scarborough Town Centre! Finally, the fashionistas of Scarborough don't have to go downtown or Fairview Mall just to get their retail fix.
It's easy to understand why people love Zara. Assortment-wise, they offer a great range of men's and women's clothes. They have a line of trendy outfits geared towards teenagers (Trafaluc), a more sophisticated line and office wear (Zara Woman), as well as clothes for men and kids. Just recently, they started offering swimwear and sportswear! Yayayay! The quality of Zara's clothes, shoes and bags are way better than H&M, Forever 21 and Dynamite. Price-wise, they're not as ridiculous as Club Monaco and Aritzia. Zara is really attainable to those who are not looking for disposable fashion. I've had blazers, shoes, trousers and cardigans from five years ago that are still part of my capsule wardrobe! Best part about Zara is their super easy-to-navigate website! Whenever there's a sale, I just buy stuff online and have them delivered to work. This is way more convenient than lining up at the store. If the clothes don’t fit me or if I have a change of heart, their return process is also hassle-free! Oh and speaking of capsule wardrobes, below are my faves from this season: Spring 2016. Happy shopping!

Have you ever wished you live in a Christmas snow globe? When I was younger, I imagined living in an eternal snow village filled with colorful houses and towering pine trees. When I visited Mont-Tremblant in Montreal, Quebec in February, I had one of my ultimate childhood fantasies come true! I booked my chalet at Tour des Voyageurs within the Mont-Tremblant Village. This chalet provides a wonderful view of the cabriolet and the mountain slopes. Unfortunately, most accommodations within the village don't include a full kitchen since they want to encourage guests to dine at the village restaurants. So if you want to save some money, pack an electric stove along with your other provisions. Below are five things to do while staying during the winter at Mont-Tremblant! 1) Ski Set within the Laurentian mountains, Mont-Tremblant has a year-round ski resort. Don't forget to pack up your skiing gear and explore the expansive terrain. If you're not a big fan of skiing, there are other winter-related activities that you can do: snow mobile tours, ice fishing, snowboarding or sleigh rides! 2) Shop If you forgot to pack ski equipment, food or other essentials, panic not! Mont-Tremblant Village is pretty self-sufficient and has almost everything you need - including prêt-à-porter boutiques, sporting goods stores and equipment rentals, gift shops and even art galleries. 3) Dine You'll never be bored with Mont-Tremblant's assortment of restaurants, bars and café's. They even have a lounge and…nightclub! And since you're in Quebec, might as well order a Québécois classic - their world-famous poutine! 4) Spa Climate at the mountains is even more hostile. In the dead of winter, the average temperature hovered at - 30°C. As an après-ski activity, treat yourself to a luxurious spa and massage. Experience authentic Scandinavian bath and book your getaway package at Spa Scandinave. 5) Casino From Thursdays to Sundays, Casino de Mont-Tremblant opens their doors to provide a unique gaming experience. Not only was it the cleanest casino I've ever been to, it also has the most breath-taking décor. Have dinner at Altitudes Seafood and Grill and enjoy the scenery from their rooftop patio. The most amazing part? The casino is connected to the Mont-Tremblant village via cable car! If you prefer to stay on the ground, the casino also provides a complimentary shuttle service. I was absolutely enchanted with the real-life snow globe village that is Mont-Tremblant. I'll definitely be back there soon. And with better company.
