Event LOVE: @Burgundy_Brick Build the Future Benefit
I went to the Burgundy Brick Foundation’s 5th “Build the Future” benefit this past Saturday. It was super refreshing to be at an event that was strictly for a good cause, and I was honoured and proud to be supporting the Burgundy Brick Foundation team in their efforts to break the cycle of poverty and to change the community. A lot of us get caught up in our own lives, and struggles (which is understandable cause life can get real tricky), and forget that there’s other people out there that don’t even have a place to call home, so it was good to take a few moments out of my own life and support a cause that looks to improve the lives and quality of living for other members of our community.
So glad this was up, cause I had no idea where I was going… I suck with directions whatever 🙂
So good catching up with Karim!

The music was good, food was yummy, there were LOTS of people, and Mira was an absolute sweetheart of a host 🙂 Thank you so much to the Burgundy Brick Foundation team for inviting me, and congratulations on a successful event. Wishing you all the best now and in the future!
peace and love

Event LOVE: We went to CHURCH! @CHURCHonChurch
CHURCH bar had an exclusive media preview on Friday, and it was SUPER fun times! I don’t really know how to explain my night, but you’ll be able to tell by the huge grin on my face in all the pictures, that I had an awesome time. I had a quick chat with one of the co-owners Chris Cosack, caught up with some of my fave bloggers, sipped on “Holy Water” and wine all night while snacking on yummy cupcakes and candy, watched a super sexy drag performance… *sigh* it was glorious.
Thanks to Chris for inviting us!! We had a blast 🙂

Back To Style with @TOEatonCentre
The Toronto Eaton Centre is currently running a Back To Style program that offers free private style consults for back to school 2012, and even though I’m not going back to school this fall (thank G-d), I still wanted to see what this program was all about. So I met up with Laura, my style consultant and she took me around Eaton Centre, taking me to different  stores that she thought would carry fashion and accessories that would suit my style.
Laura suggested these for me… She was totally on the money, I saw these and fell in love!
and this…
I also got to meet with Meredith Vlitas, Senior Marketing Director for the Eaton Centre, and after bombarding her with questions I found out that the Back To Style program isn’t only for back to school students, it’s for everybody! So whether you’re looking for a new fall wardrobe or just want to spice things up, the Toronto Eaton Centre style consultants are more than happy to help you. She also says that the program may run again next summer, and a few more times during the year!
Back To Style Consultant Laura Leroux was awesome!
You can book your appointment with one of the three style consultants through the Toronto Eaton Centre’s website. You can even read through their profiles, and pick the one you’d prefer to work with! The appointments can be made until  tomorrow August 24th, between 11 am and 8pm. Hurry!
Back To Style Consultants: Laura Leroux, Michelle Lundgren, and Chrissy Kingma
loved these!
As part of the Back To Style program, Toronto Eaton Centre will run a Back To Style Sweepstakes on it’s Facebook page, and prizes include a 2-hour style consultation with Alexis Honce (lead wardrobe stylist for Marilyn Denis on The Marilyn Denis Show) and $1,000 in Cadillac Fairview shop! card gift cards!!
Go book your appointment NOW!
Thank you to the Toronto Eaton Centre for inviting me 🙂
stay stylish!

Event LOVE: @nikiandlola pop-up shop
“Boy meets girl. They get married, and have kids. She designs jewellery, and he makes it. That is where the story begins.”
Yesterday I went over to Sweet Woodruff flower shop to celebrate the launch of Niki & Lola’s “early nomad” capsule collection. I first saw a Niki & Lola piece on Angie a few months ago, and pretty much lost my marbles, so when I got the invite to the Niki & Lola pop-up shop event, there was just NO WAY that I was going to miss it. I loved every single piece in the collection. I love the simplicity, the attention to detail, I especially love how all the pieces have this strength to them, while being delicate at the same time. My faves were the shield ring, the kingdom necklace, and there was this crazy cuff  (I can’t remember what it was called but I LOVED it… I think it was called the Polygonia cuff).
This cuff WILL be mine one day. Love. Love. Love.
The shield rings!
want.
need.
Angie and Michael 🙂
The Agny Spear necklace
The Kingdom necklace. LOVE.
I love them both. yes.
Kourtney and Charise 🙂
love.
The genius behind Niki & Lola
 omg… love
The Astra bangle
well done guys!!
my love…
Tricia Hall was there too 🙂
I had to 🙂
A HUGE thank you to Angie and Michael for allowing us to share in this special occasion. Wishing you all the best!!
peace and love

Event LOVE: Dirty Car Exhibit
I went to the Dirty Car Exhibit at Edition/Richmond gallery and was totally blown away. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but I LOVED what I saw. The gallery was transformed into a unique single-day art exhibit, and we got to enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres while admiring the unique artwork of world-renowned ‘dirty car artist’ Scott Wade.
…Possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen 🙂
I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen a dirty car look so good!
Thanks for inviting me 🙂
