Holiday Style

Holiday style Continued (For some reason it wouldn't let me add a little write up)

Merry Christmas!!!  I know it's been a little while but thought I'd do a little something on holiday style.  Wether it's for Christmas Parties or New Years.  It's that time for sparkle and shine!! For me, sequins and fun come to mind as well as gorgeous fabrics and colours!   For our holiday dinner at work I made myself a little black dress with some gold lace down the centre.   So I dipped into the black and Gold trend as well as the mini dress trend.  Paired it with red shoes and a red purse.  It was so fun!  Can't wait to wear it again! Wishing you all fabulous and fashionable holidays :)


ps hope you enjoy my little compilation of ideas and maybe find them helpful:)

Heart Truth Gala 2013 Announcement


     Happy almost weekend!  How was everyone's week?  It's been pretty busy for me.  Work has been crazy!  We have Christmas music playing and everything.   Busy little elves we are! The only thing missing is snow.   I think if it would just snow (usually we've got a good amount by now) it would feel more Christmasy. 
  So, last Friday I went to Moncton for the Heart Truth Gala launch for 2013 where they made the big announcement of who the headliner would be.   I actually did the tweeting for the Fashion Council.  My first time using hash tags and all that jazz lol.  Us designers have known all along who the headliner is  but not the public.  The Headliner this year is going to be .....drum roll please...Chantal Kreviazuk!!  So exciting!  I went to see her with my mom a few years ago and it was one of the best shows I'd been to ( the other, "The Wall", this past summer in Quebec city...have I not talked about that?? Holy cow , it was amazing). Anyways, super pumped for this years show.  I think this year is going to be bigger and better than the last for sure!

This is from this years show.  The models are all up on stage dancing at the end of the show with headliner, Mia Martina. 

The display of beautiful dresses from past shows at the launch  this past Friday.

Two of the models for the 2013 show posing with the dresses.  My model, Samantha,  is on the left. She's a talented fiddler and is going to be a  fabulous model! It will be her second time doing the show.  The model on the right is 13 years old and has a rare genetic heart condition.  She is so sweet and will look lovely walking down the runway in a one of a kind design for her.

The big Announcement!  Samantha opened and closed the launch.

Our Headliner for the 2013 Heart Truth Gala, Chantal Kreviazuk.  To introduce her they started playing her song "Surrounded", one of my favourites.  She's so talented.  I'm so excited!
