Fashion Show 2011

Did you miss the memo? I did...It's July 11th ALREADY!

I am sitting on the screened in porch enjoying the garden and pond view, when I went to get up from the couch, I was stuck.

Leather, humidity, legs and dresses make for a great oppurtunity for legs to stick and squish and be PEEEEELED off leather couch.

That being said, I am NOT complaining. Summer is far to short, and far to gorgeous and I far way rather the heat heat heat then a sparkle of snow.

I've been spending a lot of time designing for the Fashion show on Thursday August 25th.
Whaaaat fashion show is this you may ask? Me and 13 beautiful fashionista, inspiriting women, (dubbed the Lady Team) put on. Did I mention we're all under the age of 25? Super stars. 


We raised over $30,000 for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation last year. This is our second annual event, and if you thought last year was good. Wait until you see this year. It's going to knock your wedge sandals off...yeah I went there.

custom work

My show was cancelled this past weekend! Oy. but never fear I'll be featuring some "pop up shows" in the next few weeks, to make up for it!

Sorry to everyone who had planned to come to the unveiling of my new line, but at the "pop up shows" the new collection will be in full gear!

Here is some photos of a custom bracelet I did for a woman's neice for her confirmation. The bracelet is religious inspired for the event, and holds a lot of the girls mothers and aunts old religious pins, as well as the young girls birth stone colour, turquoise.

I love this outfit. but for serious...where's my boat?

These pants are probably my favourite find EVER at a thrift store. This is the first time I've worn them, and I feel like I should be on a boat. We raided my grandmothers closet this weekend. Monster closet. We look like we are robbing her house. We all went thrifting through her stuff. I scored that hat! You'll see more stuff soon from Gma's closet.  Ever raided your Grandmothers closet?

sneak peak tidbit jewels

Okay I'm freakin' soo excited!
My new line of jewellery is heavenly! I'm pumped to show it to you all at the show and sale in June!

I'm in love with it....(i'm not biased or anything..haha)

Here's a little sneak peak! You can check out the whole colleciton on June 11th and 12th.

do you like pina coladas?

Dress: Chez Thrift (no alterations needed) 
Jacket: Chez Thrift 
Necklace: Vintage 
Earrings: Queen St. 

Do you like pina coladas? And dancing in the rain? I like all of the above.
This dress reminds me of a pina colada. I drank one on the weekend (we thought it was a strawberry margarita...but if you know me at all, I know my margaritas, and that was NO margarita)

This long weekend was awesome. How was yours? I got to spend it in the city with my cousin (who lives too far away in DC for my liking!...although it's a nice vacation destination.) I went to a jay's game (don't ask me who won...I just go for the beer, cheers, and people...we are too far up in the nose bleed seats to see the guys) The weather was beautiful and we spent the day walking around. Weekend was filled with bbq's, summer smells, and designing more jewellery for my weekend show coming up in June! My new line of jewellery will be presented that weekend! Check out the facebook invite by clicking here and viewing some sneak peak photos of my new line of jewellery!

I wore this outfit yesterday. Am so glad it has finally stopped raining in Toronto. Blargh. I bought an umbrella, ella, ella at the thrift store for 2 dollars, since for the past week it has felt like we are living in the maritimes.

My parents booked a trip to Newfoundland this week...I'm totally lime jello. Has anyone been there? I've heard its like Ireland, which is my dream trip! I want to go there badly. Hopefully me and a girlfriend are road tripping it out to Newfoundland in September, although with these gas prices, don't count on it!

June Bug Jewellery Show

If you've noticed that my blog has been a little lax lately it's because I'm running around with both ends of my candle stick lit!

I've been trying to get enough jewellery built and starting my new jewellery line for this summer, which I'm presenting at the Jewellery show on June 11th and 12th! Less then a month away! I'll give you guys a little sneak peak on my new line of jewels later this week! I'm super impressed with it. You can check out my Jewellery online by clicking here.

I have been vigorously working away on this year's Fashion show fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis. Last year me and the Lady team raised over $30,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. It was out of this world! You can check out our website www.CFforCF.com by clicking here.
So sorry for the lack of posts in the next coming weeks!

she's still got it

this is my mom

 

This is mom. 
She rocks my ankle socks.
My mother really does embody the epitome of "My mom the style icon" blog. If you have not checked out that blog. You totally should. Click here. 
Her jacket is thrifted, button sewn on, and shortened, her skirt is thrifted and altered, her shoes are thrifted, and her necklace of course is a Hatittude.

This is one stylin' maven mom. You might be thinking, I dressed her up just for this shoot...but friends, she does this all on her own. Her outfit for going out for dinner that evening.

See even mom's can be bombshell babes.
