Veleno Presents Jenni Adams

Born in Newfoundland and established in Montreal since 2005. This bohemian party girl’s style is a breath of fresh air and exactly what this city needed. It seems to me that Montreal is full of designers but most of them just do recycled vomit.
Having studied textiles at College of the North Atlantic; Anna Templeton Center, Jenni’s extensive knowledge sets her apart. Her artisan way of dying fabric to achieve spectacular results is unique. Acrylic and rayon being her 2 enemies, she knits luxurious scarves and hats for our cold winter using quality wools. Mixing practicality and fashion her pieces are always one of a kind.


Halloween…..
I haven’t been into Halloween since I’m like 7. It’s only yet another holiday turned into mass consumption. Let us buy junk from China that we don’t need to dispose of it on November 1st. I like the idea of fancy dress but we could have that all year round. The candy part of Halloween is now out of control. Jujubes shaped like a chicken’s foot????
Blurrrrrrp…….. No, thank you! Blue whales and peach rings for me please.
Even the costumes are boring these days. I remember going as a mouse one year. My mom made my costume out of left over carpet. The year after I was a Smurf also made by my mom. These days’ parents buy their kids a plastic sword, a plastic gun and a rubber mask of something ghastly. If I had kids I wouldn’t let my kids’ anywhere near plastic guns and swords.
I haven’t dressed up for Halloween in years. I’m actually tempted to dress up for once. Question is what will I be???? Frankly I see enough queens imitating Britney Spears and Celine Dion. Halloween is every time I step foot in the village. Humm I know I’ll get Jenni to dress me up in something fun. This way I'm sure I’ll be fabulous.
You should do the same. Custom made Halloween costumes, now that sounds like me. I think I want to revisit the mouse costume or maybe the Pied Piper…

For all you Montrealers the following will not come as a surprise but more of a slap in the face. A firm conviction that summer is almost over.
Nights are colder, back to school, fall fashion everywhere.
I’m not complaining! I’m one of those that enjoys and finds something good in all seasons. Yes, even winter. I’ve been around too many people who bitch about the weather. It’s too cold, too hot, wet, dry, humid ect… OH PISS OFF !!!! Shut up and keep your negativity to your self. Nature is beautiful in all its aspects, rain shine or snow. Its inevitable, seasons come and go.

Spring Summer Winter and Fall
Keep the world in time
Spinning around like a ball
Never to unwind

There is no better time than autumn to update your wardrobe and look fresh. Think VELENO for all your fashion needs, wardrobe rejuvenation, makeovers, personal shopping, advise on season trends.

This is a personal fav of mine. My pick of the week.
With the change in weather our skin and hair get damaged. Try Kiehl’s Dry Argan Oil, a few drops suffice to moisturize your skin. Try a few drops to nourish and give a healthy glow to your hair. I cannot live without it is a must in any bathroom.

Have a great safe long weekend. Myriam, Jenni and Steph Thursday was awesome. We must do it again soon. Subscribe to my blog to receive weekly up dates and to discover my pick of the week.
