A New Year's Eve Look with Clarins

Hello my darlings, this year I decided to get a bit more acquainted with YouTube as it is a very fun way for me to show you my favourite products and my very easy makeup looks. I do not wear a lot of makeup on a daily basis but for NYE you gotta step it up and look sharp.

So, I decided to create for you a New Year's Eve Look with the collaboration of Clarins, an amazing beauty company that helps create such natural looks with their wide range of products. 

I hope you like it ! 


I want to take this opportunity to be cheesy once again and to thank you for all your support through this amazing journey I have been on for the past year. 2013 has been a crazy year for me as I have been living a dream and I think 2014 has many great ventures awaiting for LapizofLuxury. 

I wish you all happiness and health. Never give up, because now, I truly believe that you can really achieve what you want if you set your mind to it. 

Happy New Year and Love you all !

The MMMCoffret from my city !

First of all, I would like to take this time to wish you all Happy Holidays

I have had the best year because of all your support and kind words, your encouragement and the people that stop me in stores to tell me that they love my blog. 
My dream is coming true because of you ! 

I have a lot of surprises in stores for you in 2014, as I might be taking a very exciting and adventurous path. Thanks a million :)

Enough with the cheesyness, this month, I had the opportunity of getting the inside look of the new Subscription Box from Me, Myself and Montreal, the MMMCoffret.

First and foremost, what is a subscription box you ask ? It is a system that allows you to pay a certain fee a month and to receive a beautiful little box full of goodies at your doorstep every month. Americans really perfected this art with the crazy number of subscription boxes they offer, but it is very nice to see a box coming from my city, Montreal. 

What I adore about the MMMCoffret is the fact that the goodies such as jewelry, accessories, coupons and etc. are all from Montreal designers, which is an amazing way of discovering hidden artists in our city. 

Here is a sneak peak of the November box called Casse-Noisette

Goodies from Atelier B., Pas de Chichi, Rose Madeleine, La Maison tricotée, Fernando Volken Togni Chicquero, Boutique Belle&Rebelle, Grands Ballets Canadiens. 


I surely used the Grands Ballets Canadiens coupon to continue the Christmas tradition I have with my aunts and cousins, watching the Ballet Casse-Noisette during Christmas week. 


Here is the link where you can join the MMMCoffret subscription for 27$CAN a month.

Enjoy !

A Last minute TheBodyShop Xmas

Let's not kid ourselves, most of us are very last minute Holiday shoppers ! 

A Last minute Bodyshop Xmas





Festive Hand Creams
Each Sold for 6$CAD


Festive Small Ginger Sparkle Gift Set

Over the years, I have always found TheBodyShop to be an amazing destination for those last minute gifts. Why do I say "last minute" gifts because you can really find anything for the women in your life in the parameters of this store. 

Tell me which lady doesn't like a good hand cream or a nice body wash. Even so, you can treat the little girls in your family to the amazing Born Lippy Lollipop, the perfect gift for the tweens in your life. 

A definite visit at TheBodyShop stores in the upcoming days before Christmas to find something at a very reasonable price. Sales are on !

A cold Palladium Winter




Winter is here, which means we need to slide those boots on. 

Do you remember when I introduced you to boots brand called Palladium ?! Well, these boots are no joke. I waited for the first big snow to rock them and I added a feminine side to them by pairing them with a dress and tights. The pair I chose are this amazing model called the Baggy Leather Knit Patent in the gorgeous Midnight Red. I must admit, this style is not usually part of my fashion attire, but I fell in love with them as they exude the feel of combat boots which I adore. If you know me, you must know that I am all about comfort, certainly during school months when I am between finishing up my masters in coffee shops and heading to class.

Palladium boots can be found at Little Burgundy.

A Holiday Watch Guide (Men & Women)

Some may say that offering a watch to your loved one can put "time" on your relationship, but I say it's an amazing timeless piece that is a statement in everybody's accessories cabinet.

I find that offering a watch as a gift is something that is actually very personal and receiving it from a family member or a love one only says one thing : that they really know your taste and know what you want.

Here are a couple of options for the men and women in your life ! 

You can even get a matching watch for yourself and.....

Be the Opposites Attracts Couple

 Be the Royal Couple

 Be the Power Couple

You can now shop similar looks by visiting www.watchit.ca or by clicking on the watch options below. 

Enjoy !

Sneak Peek of the Swims S/S 2014 Collection



I had the chance to catch a peek of the Spring Summer 2014 Collection from SWIMS a Norwegian lifestyle shoe company. SWIMS is well-known for their upgrade of the black leather galoshes and now they offer amazing pops of colours in their range. 

Obviously, I had to open the amazing SWIMS orange umbrella ! 

At first glance, I spotted the Luca Sneaker, which is a men's sneaker but nonetheless I fell in love and it comes in a full orange, what better can I ask. I am really into sneakers recently, they look so cool with leather leggings and a big comfy sweater. 

Then, I had to snap the SWIMS Loafers, they are so comfy and what is amazing about them is their waterproof quality. There is nothing more that I hate then wet feet in flip flops during the summer, wearing a nice and casual loafer can fix that problem and they come in so many colours ! 



The perfect loafer for a Parisian getaway with my Mr.


Today, SWIMS offers lightweight footwear, accessories and  apparel  for men and women, available in over 30 countries and more than 700 high end stores such as Harry Rosen and Browns. 

A definite look into the SWIMS company for your perfect pair of summer shoes.

My Xmas Party Outfit

This weekend was my work Xmas Party and every year I hunt the stores to find the perfect outfit but this year as I am in full end of semester mode, I decided to recycle an item.

I had bought this Zara high-waisted skirt this summer and to be honest at first, I was worried it was going to give too much of a summery feel. 

I paired it with a last minute bargain purchase, this sequin crop top from Forever21 that I scored for 17$ on liquidation, then added my favourite Zara black&white pumps. 

Finally, I added some simple accessories and my fave red lips and I was ready to partayy.

Hope this outfit gives you ideas for your Xmas parties.

Palladium Spring/Summer 2014 Collection

I had the pleasure of attending the Spring/Summer 2014 showroom for a brand I have recently discovered and seriously fell a bit head over heels for : Palladium.

Let's be honest, it's so hard to look cute in the winter in this country but Palladium really helps us out (women and men) by creating really nice waterproof and comfy boots.
