    Event LOVE: @Laura_Siegel + #project1127 Launch

    PicsArt_1398390720179

    Laura Siegel invited us to attend the launch of Project Eleven27 at Soho House Toronto last week. Project Eleven27  was created to honour the lives lost in the Bangladesh garment factory tragedy on April 24, 2013. Laura and her team partnered with a team of artisans in Kutch, India to hand weave 1,127 limited edition scarves using recycled sarees, and well all had the opportunity to shop scarves and select Laura Siegel pieces at the event with 40% of all sales raised that day being donated to their affiliate charity, Sreepur Village Organization.

    #CBStyle with @_CostaBlanca

    2014-04-22 20.56.35

     

    I spent some time (at least 4 hours) in Costa Blanca this past week to fulfill my ambassador duties and it was absolute FUN TIMES as usual. The weather wasn’t the best outside, but I’m already in summer time mode, and so is Costa Blanca; boasting a vast selection of colourful pieces, printed crop tops, cute tees, cut out summer and cocktail dresses, the cutest floral and animal print jumpsuits and more!!

    Check out some of the pieces I tried on this time around.2014-04-22 21.10.02

    Event Pics: @shopeluxe Spring Soiree!

    IMG_0847

    One of my besties recently discovered another talent of hers and was invited to the Eluxe Media Group Spring Soiree to showcase her gifts, and I was right there to show support and see her in action! While we all mixed and mingled, sipped on DELICIOUS cocktails and snacked on TASTY hors d’oeuvres; Elana was hard at work taking pictures and doing fashion illustrations of all the fabulous ladies that were in attendance.

    Check out the pics!

    QUEENS. Elana, Bella, Septembre, Asa and Kathleen 🙂 #wmcfw

    I have to admit that for the first time in a long time, I was actually really sad to see fashion week go 🙁 Even though I was exhausted by the end of it all; the fun times totally outweighed all of that, and now I have so many beautiful memories to tide me until next season! The last day was extra special as it was Elana’s 25th birthday, so after the shows we headed over to King Street to celebrate her champagne born day! I know I’ve said it over and over, but to all of you that I got to reconnect with, as well as meet for the first time; thank you, thank you for making this World MasterCard Fashion Week SS14 a beautiful one.

    Me and Theresa <3 @imesotk

    Did I say Days three and five of World MasterCard Fashion Week SS14 were my favourite? Well, Day Four was all kinds of awesome! We hung out backstage, I got to interview of Nikki Wirthensohn of NARCES (who is just too lovely for words!), we saw the Target show which was just THE BEST (came home with the coziest of blankets!), and course we had all the fun in the world off the runway; taking pics and creating unforgettable memories. Thank you so much, you guys rock!
