Cf for CF - FAshion SHow

Incase you missed the show, here's a sneak peak of what the Lady Team + Nik (13 of my girlfriends and Nik) did this summer. We had 500 guests, and raised over $27,000 for cystic fibrosis foundation of canada. We were able to start a new 'sponsor a family' program and helped a family going through transplant. It was an amazing night. Not to mention the 8 fashion houses were hot hot hot! 

I'm off to get some halloween decorations for the party on friday. Halloween is my favourite time of year! I thought about going as a zombie....but as my mother once told me...you always want to look cute on halloween. She speaks from experience when one year she went as the three little pigs with her two girlfriends. This year me and my boyfriend are going as Sandy and Danny from Grease. I like to go blonde on halloween (last year I was cinderella) since I probably never will get to in real life.

I'm alive! I'm back in action my friendlies... I took the summer off because I was crazy hoopla busy organizing and running the 2nd annual Couture for a Cure Found Fashion show (I'll do a blog post later this week on it! ) Can I just congratulate the Lady Team on all their awesome amazing fraggle rockin' bomb work they did...we raised over 27,000 dollars for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and had over 500 guests in attendance! CRAZY!

check out this little promo teaser video a talented group of guys from Different Level's production created! If you ever need an event for them to film, these are your men! SO much talent! and SO fast, this was up within a week of the show!

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?

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!
