We were recently invited to the Skinnygirl Cocktails “Summer Styling Like a Lady” event, over at The Rosewater Room in downtown Toronto. Myself, Elana, and like a million ladies joined special celebrity guest/Skinnygirl Cocktails founder Bethenny Frankel for an evening of fun interactive sessions on fashion, decor, mixology, food, all while sipping on various cocktails from the Skinnygirl line (Sangria is my favourite by the way).

All the ladies were asked to bring a gently worn piece of business attire to help support Skinnygirl Cocktails as they teamed up with Dress For Success Toronto- a charitable organization which promotes economic independence for disadvantaged women in the GTA by providing them with professional attire for the everyday work place.

The event was hosted by Traci Melchor of CTV’s ETALK, and there was also an interactive Q&A session with Bethenny (which I missed cause I got carried away at they gym, then couldn’t decided on what dress to wear… girl problems.) After the Q&A session, we got a chance to explore the various interactive styling rooms, and of course, drank more Skinnygirl cocktails and snacked on for d’oeuvres for the rest of the night. 20130514 193306 768x1024 Event LOVE: @SkinnyGirl Cocktails with @Bethenny Frankel #SkinnyGirlTO

We were recently invited to view Swarovski’s Fall/Winter 2013 Collection. The event was held over at the luxurious Shangri-la Hotel (so fitting) in downtown Toronto, and the room was beautifully decorated with gorgeous displays of the collection. I never know what to expect from Swarovski; but what I do know is that it never disappoints, I’m always blown away, I ooh, aah, and drool a little , and there are always so many beautiful pieces, and this was definitely the case that evening. You’ll see by my pictures that I tried so hard to hold all the excitement back (loves me some shiny thangs!), but ultimately failed, as I tried on pretty much everything and was acting a damn fool icon smile Event LOVE: @Swarovski Fall/Winter 2013/14 Collection Preview I also got to hang out with some of my favourtie bloggers.

Canon has partnered with NYC photographer and Instagram influencer Brian DiFeo for the first of its kind 3-D art exhibits throughout Manhattan that celebrate NYC culture -both past and present.  This morning, Nicole and I stopped by High Line to check out some new Canon camera and for some bagels and oj.

Being an avid blogger, to BE READY is the most important aspect of my job.  I am wearing sunnies because I just got LASIK yesterday… Too cool right?

The new cameras offers convenience and ease to upload photos seamlessly without compromising the quality of the photos. Sounds too good to be true right?

Screen Shot 2013 05 16 at 11.35.18 AM @CanonUSAimaging Preview with NYC photog @bridif

 Right under the overpass at High Line, Canon set up a 3D art piece for us to use to test out the camera’s functions like zoom, reaction time and various filters.

The cameras easily synced with the iPAD app and you can upload photos, edit and view all the photos.

Out of the 5 cameras that were on display, my favorite demo camera is the Canon Power Shot N Series. It is totally unique and perfect for blogging.

New York Photographer Brian DiFeo shared his experiences with the N Series camera when he used it for the past week and gave it great reviews. It is compact, high quality and great for everyday use.

The best part is the leather braided camera strap and cute stripe case it comes with!  Shown here on Canon’s lovely Director, Michelle Fernandez.

If you are in NYC today and tomorrow – Don’t miss the opportunity to check these out!
