Here’s how to recreate that Sydney Sweeney look

Actress Sydney Sweeney, best known for her roles in Euphoria and White Lotus, is a young woman who never ceases to impress, especially with her dresses and her silhouette on the red carpets.

However, her everyday taste in fashion should not be overlooked…

In her looks, she stands out for her simplicity, but also for her choice of colors.

Let us show you how to recreate this monochrome brown look on a budget!

Let’s start with a very simple top, which will serve as the base for this look.

For $29.99 at H&M, you’ll find this brown turtleneck, which will obviously come in handy not only for this look, but for many of your looks to come.

Either way… every woman needs a turtleneck in her wardrobe!

Then, a simple pair of shorts in a different shade of brown than the top will do the trick!

For $30.00 at Aubainerie, these twill shorts are comfortable and will hug your curves beautifully.

Add a pair of black tights underneath, which you already have or can find at Jean Coutu or Walmart, and you’re all set!

Next, the centerpiece of this look: the coat!

Once again, H&M is the place to find this dark brown fabric trench coat for $61.99.

Although the actress’ coat is made of leather, this one is a cheaper alternative that’s just as beautiful!

Now it’s the boots’ turn!

These on the Naturalizer site, called Axel Waterproof Boot, retail at $129.99, and the resemblance to Sydney’s is impressive.

Thanks to the wider heels and reasonable height, you’ll be stylish and comfortable!

Now for the accessories!

It’s time to call on our on-and-off friend Amazon to find the pair of glasses the actress wears.

Since they’re rather large for women’s glasses, here are men’s glasses that simply serve the look, with no strength inside.

For $33.99, she can be found under the name ZanyLen blue blocking glasses for men in gold metal, one size fits all.

Finally, the satchel.

This time, the bag isn’t brown, but eggplant, which brings a nice contrast to the look.

For $79.00, you’ll find this medium-sized Jet Set shoulder bag in Saffiano leather at Michael Kors.

A big name on a small budget, that’s a bargain!

So, now that you’ve got all the details to recreate this look, feel free to add your personal touch in the jewelry and above all… don’t dread the monochrome look any longer!

Samantha Fox visits Quebec

The ’80s star on the wall of many a young teenager, Samantha Fox, will headline the Festival Innu Nikamu (the Innu community of Mani-Utenam in northern Quebec) on August 2.

Fox won’t be the only ’80s star, as Bryan Adams will close the festival, which ends on August 4. Coordinator Normand Junior Tshirnish is keen to mark Innu Nikamu’s 40th anniversary in style.

Tshirnish stressed that “this festival is very symbolic for the Innu of the North Shore, Labrador and many Aboriginal people in Quebec.

The Innu festival runs from July 30 to August 4, with the rest of the program to be announced in mid-April. Advertising will once again extend to the large billboards found on the highways around Montreal.

Let’s not forget that this festival was created in the ’80s because of Florent Vollant’s desire. That’s why we wanted to create a program that included artists who left their mark on the ’80s. We wanted to give it a nostalgic flavour!

$1B investment for downtown Montreal!

More than a billion dollars will be injected into the development of downtown Montreal over the next ten years, enhancing the identity of the city’s neighborhoods in the process, Noovo reports.

Indeed, to counteract the city’s slowing economic growth, Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante plans to take steps to make the heart of the metropolis more attractive, with distinctive new street furniture, heritage enhancement specific to different living environments and public art circuits, among other measures.

Instagram @val_plante

Under the Plante administration’s new strategy, the Quartier latin will symbolically become the “quartier de la francophonie” and, possibly, include Montreal’s first “24-hour zone”, where businesses can remain open day and night.

To densify the area, the Plante administration plans to start by curbing the vacancy rate of existing buildings, notably at the former Royal Victoria Hospital and the Voyageur block, by attracting various businesses related to health, technology and culture.

Instagram @val_plante

Subsequently, it also plans to create two new residential neighborhoods in the Faubourgs and Bridge-Bonaventure sectors, with the potential to create over 15,000 housing units.

Finally, improving the experience of visitors to the downtown area will also require better management of construction sites and an improved pedestrian and cycling network.

An ambitious project, to say the least…
