Event Love: @FitzroyBoutique #WeWantSpring Party
We’ve been having some CRAZY weather these last few weeks, and we’re not the only one’s who noticed. The ladies of Fitzroy Boutique, Julie and Angela have also had enough of this silly weather, and invited us for a fun night of cocktails and shopping their latest spring/summer pieces over at the BYOB Cocktail Emporium; in hopes that this will sway mother nature into giving us some sunshine and warm weather! Due to the chilly weather, I wore a onesie and a leather jacket to the event, but once I entered BYOB it felt like summer; the room was warm and buzzing with all the laughter, everyone was smiling, there were pretty summery outfits both on and off the racks, and the dj was playing some pretty sweet tunes!
It’s safe to say that I loved everything that they had on display. There was just so much good stuff, and if it wasn’t for these bills, mama would have a brand new wardrobe!! Either way, I had a great time, I sipped some drinks, snapped some pics, connected with some pretty awesome people, and got nailed by the ladies of Pinky’s Nails. T’was a good night, it was a beautiful summer night, even if it only lasted until the party was over 🙂
The lovely Angela and Julie 🙂

If you’re looking for a new summer wardrobe, or looking to upgrade your current one, you NEED to go and check out Fitzroy Boutique! I cannot stress how amazing it is. IT’S AMAZING.
Thank you so much to Angela and Julie for treating us to a little taste of summer, and for always throwing a good party!

Event LOVE: @HilaryMacmillan F/W2013 Debut
*pic credit: Flare Magazine*
Last week, myself and a number of Toronto fashionistas, celebrities, media and industry folk gathered at the Glass Factory- 99 Sudbury, for the premier of emerging Canadian designer Hilary Macmillan’s Fall/Winter 2013 collection. The collection was inspired by the richness of the colours in the Middle Ages; particularly with royalty in equestrian dressing, and was full of rich reds, and golds that were normally seen in uniforms when men gallantly rode in on their horses. When asked what made her collection unique, she said, “My brand is uniquely Canadian: I design, source and manufacture everything within Canada.
Here are some of my favourite pieces!
I loved this suit!
This was one of my favourite pieces! pic credit- The Brunette Salad

Event LOVE: @GUESS Music Festival Collection Launch #GUESSRocks
When I received the invite to attend a private launch of the new GUESS Music Festival Collection I was super excited, because 1: I’m always down for to check out GUESS’ new collections as they’re usually super cute, and 2: I couldn’t wait to see who would be performing at the event… Mind you the invite said NOTHING about live performances, so I don’t know how I managed to convince myself that there would be actual performances lol, I guess my mind ran away with the whole Music Festival Collection theme…
Anyway, I was DIGGING most of the collection. I don’t own any Guess pieces, but after what I saw, I may need to add some pieces to my wardrobe, including the accessories. I mean sure we don’t have a Coachella here in Canada, but we have so many other awesome music festivals in the summer time, that the collection is totally perfect for!
We sipped on delicious Vodka Lemonade drinks and treats while viewing the collection. It felt like summer in there, and then we went outside 🙁
I’m not big on jeans during the summer… or ever really, but some of them were kinda cute!
I usually prefer big chunky bracelets and bangles but these would be nice too 🙂
party people!
yes that’s more like it!
Digging this vest!
Army green everything!!
cute!
Camo everything!
I’ll wear anything with animal print…
These ladies making cute look too easy!
YAASSSSSS!
Werk!
Can’t do festival without the fringe!
something for the boys!
les noms
Had me wishing summer would just get here already!
soooooo good!
<3 Elana 🙂
Thank you for inviting us, the collection ROCKS!

Event LOVE: Krane A/W13 Presentation @kranedesign
We attended the Krane A/W2013 Presentation last week over at Soho House, and it was fabulous! Even though the room was PACKED, it was still nice and intimate and the collection was everything. I’m usually not drawn to dark colours, but I was in love with the attention to detail in all the pieces. The coats were amazing, there was loads of leathery goodness and the sweaters with the woven leather???? Oh. My. Gawd. YES! And the bags? I need ALL the bags. Everything was AMAZING. After the presentation, I sipped on the signature cocktails and caught up with all the fashionistas in the room 🙂
I know this is a men’s line, but I dig all these coats!
Oh my gawd. Yes.
Yes. Yes. YEEEEEESSSSS!
The man of the hour!
Holy photo bomb! lolCongratulations to Ken Chow on the collection, and thank you for inviting us!
peace and love

Event LOVE: Moose&Beaver Apparel F/W2013 Launch @moose_beaver
We were recently introduced to Moose&Beaver Apparel’s Fall/Winter Ready-to-Wear collection. It was cold outside, but inside, it was a packed house on on the sixth floor of The Burroughes building on Queen Street West, as we eagerly anticipating the show.
After the show I got to sit down with Creative Director and Owner Leah Antoinette. We talked about her collection. One thing that really stood out from our conversation is that she wants everybody, from all walks of life, with all kinds of body types to wear her collection. She stressed the importance of being comfortable in your body, and wearing what makes you happy. I love that!
“Moose&Beaver Apparel is dedicated to creating clothes that will ‘love you back’ “
The collection has incorporated merino wool, alpaca and viscose yarns, distressed leather, and vintage fur in a neutral palette base of dark browns and creams. It will be available for sale across North America at mooseandbeaver.com, with prices ranging from $250 to $1,000 CDN.
Telly, Carcia, Leah and I 🙂
Congratulations on a great show, and thank you for inviting us!
peace and love
Bella
