Mine and Yours Fashion Talks Blogger Event

Yesterday I co-hosted an intimate blogger gathering with Mine & Yours Co. A local buy, sell and trade fashion house that will open very soon. The inventory is curated from the closets of Vancouver's most fashionable. Many of the bloggers that are attending this event has sold their items to Mine & Yours. I love this concept and elevating eco fashion to the next level. All these items will be fashionable, and one of a kind gems are congregated to the same place.

The founder and I met in the ladies room at Eco Fashion Week 06 after my Thrift Chic Show.

Some connections are made effortlessly and meant to last.

Both of us love making connections and we decided to provide a good avenue for bloggers to connect and bond and net work.

Sponsored by Skinnygirl Cocktails and surrounded by her amazing inventory of items, the night went off without a hitch.

After some mingling and admiring the scenery and merchandise, we started the round table discussion.

The discussions are centered around best practices in blogging and our war stories.

The night wrapped up with a styling challenge, with the prize sponsored by the talented jewelery designer Mirror Mirror Bijoux. A reversible vintage upcycled necklace and earrings.

The participants came up with three very stylish outfits.

In the end, Sarah from Haus of Hybrid was voted winner with her very chic choices and mixed prints.

I can't wait to have more of these gatherings and connect with more wonderful bloggers.

Indulge 2013: the Art of Beauty

On June 4th, Holt Renfrew hosted the annual Arts Umbrella fundraising event, Indulge: the Art of Beauty. I could not think of a better place to have an event like this. An event celebrating the arts through the eyes of beauty and fashion. The guests decked themselves to the nines and enjoyed an evening of fashion, pampering and glamour. Hosted by Colleen Christy, news anchor from CTV, whom set the tone for the entire evening beautifully.

This year, classical ballet dancers were installed through out the event to enhance the experience by doubling as entertainment as well as enhancing the mood of the evening.

Guests sipped on PINK Champagne, Magic Moments Vodka and Fiji waters while enjoying delicious bites. Samples from David's Tea, Xoxolat, The Juice Box and Nespresso were also available to keep the guest sated.

After getting pampered and beautified, guests then have the chance to be draped in feather boas and adorned with fascinates before that is captured in a glam photo shoot.

Sought after prizes were raffled off, as well as bid on in a silent auction.

Guests can also get consultations with nutrition and skin experts, as well as take in the educational mini seminars such as Louis Vuitton's art of packing.

Such amazing people and organization came together to make this wonderful evening happen to benefit such a great organization.

Finally, the festivities were capped off by a fashion show showcasing the newest and hottest summer trends.

What a beautiful night of doing good while feeling and looking great.
