Event Clothing...

This 'event clothing' post is a little differnet, this one is all about the amazing event I am hosting this coming Saturday; CONSIGN YOUR CURVES!!!

As you frequent readers know I have attended {BIG DEAL Toronto} over the past two Summers and have been able to make some money off the resale of my closet.  Thing is, I am not from Toronto but Guelph, so thought it was time that I brought this style of event to my neck of the woods.  Guelph as a small city is under-serviced in plus size consignment and this is a perfect way for myself and other tri-cities fashionistas to open up their cloests to other ladies!

I was thrilled when fashion friends, {Karyn}, {Erica}, {Jessica}, {Sheena} and {Melissa} got on board and wanted to sell their clothes too!  I was so flattered to have these ladies support me; Truly humbled.

If you are reading this and your are outside of Canada, or heck even outside of Ontario I am sorry you cannot attend... but! If you are around these parts, have access to public transit you must come out!!!  If not only to shop and meet these iconic plus size ladies in person!

I woke up this AM to see my local paper had done an article on me and the event, click {here} to read it!

I will wait with baited breathe to actually see how this event goes on Saturday, but by the current buzz it will be one not to miss!!!! And, of course a post next week to show and tell you how it went!

For those that read the newspaper article and came to check out my blog, thank you for stopping by!!
I hope that you come back again to see what I have to say!

Find the event {here} on Facebook!!!

Event Clothing... Met Gala 2013

The theme was punk!  A quirky theme for the Met Gala that was held last night.  Honoring all fashions that are punk and raising money at the same time brought out the whos who of celebrities and models.  Think high fashion mixed with spikes, quilt pins, plaid, leather more leather, and lots of eye liner!  Some took major risks and went all out (isn't fashion all about taking risks anyways) some played it super safe.  Some didn't dress with the theme others took it over the top!  Being punk is about being yourself, making a statement, ANYTHING GOES.

Here is my review!

Model Cara Delevingne went punk with a with spikes EVERYWHERE.  
Only thing I don't support the white clutch.

Sweet but with some edge was Michele Williams.  Love the book clutch, a great way to add some umpf to a simple black dress.

 Well well well, Anne Hathaway is a bombshell in platinum blonde.  I LOVE IT!!!  Not sure about the feather cuffs but love the dress on her.

Madonna is someone who you can say took the theme literally.  Well, not at all my fav of the night's punk looks but she committed to the look! lol  However, I want those legs!

Taylor swift needed some Moroccan Oil for the friz.  The hair choice I don't get.  Thought this outfit would have looked great with a slicked back pony.  Cutouts on the dress are great though.

Nina Dobrev looked stunning last night.  So edgy!  
The pantsuit with a skirt was a perfect way to show a little sass!

Well Miley.... you too PUNK and made in 90's grunge.  
Hardly the same thing but she very much committed..lol 
She reminds me of Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries or she should be in a Prodgy music video! lol

Floral is in.  But the gloves and matching shoes?! Not so sure.  Loved Kim Kardashian's hair and lipstick.  But, you know this outfit was approved by some high fashion people so if they approve I approve..lol

Alicia Keys in leather and sequins and cutouts.  Overall decent but safe.

Well hello Ms. Gisele Bundchen making punk her slave last night.  Not the spikes on the shoes!

Oh Gwyneth,  you have the body of the Gods, you have amazing fashion sense, so WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!  Ugh.  This is my worst dressed pick of the night.  Just ugh.  
Something a grandma would wear.  sucks. lol

Almost didn't recognize Ashley Greene with the dark hair!  Loved this look! Brocade gets me everytime.   Almost regal punk if it existed..lol

Leave it to the fashion master Sarah Jessica Parker to make punk HIGH FASHION.  The Phillip Tracey head piece of a mohawk was enough to get me to adore it.  But the plaid thigh high boots with the skirt, I mean please.  Carrie Bradshaw never fails.

Co-chair of the night Beyonce also went with gloves, thigh high boots and brocade.  Ummm I am undecided on this look.  Lots going on, not sure what to focus on.  Good effort but not in my top 10.

Kristin Stewart meets Joan Jett, meets androgyny and punk all in one paint suit.  Loved the colour!

 Elizabeth Banks I would like to borrow this when your done!  lol  Gold menswear, I am in!

Cameron Diaz, I get it but I don't get it.  Make sense.  LOVE the colour the belt.  Hey, I normally fawn over a cape but some how with the hair and the flow of the dress if fell down for me.  Just whelmed.

Jessica Biel in lace pants with a skirt.  
Would have loved to have seen a great earring with this but loved the lazercut lace!

 Rooney Mara punk'ing it out in white.  Great choice for her skin tone.  And that lip, wow!  This is what I think a punk angel would look like..lol

Amber Heard in red lace.  Perhaps a safe and feminine choice however the black underneath gives it a little edge.  Again would have done something else with the hair, too pretty.

Like Madonna, Nicole Ritchie committed to the theme.  White hair, hmmm, wouldn't green or purple have been more punk?  Dress fits her like a glove.  Remember the Simple Life, what a difference!

Newlywed Blake Lively was a safe.  Not great not poor.  Dress is amazing though, but did it wear her?

Now there is a punk hair do!  Jennifer Morrison looked like the perfect balance of punk meets lady.

 Model Karolina Kurkova rocked a mini dress.  Different patterns, eyeliner for days equals perfect punk!  Look at her pose on the carpet; that is how you become a SUPER MODEL.

 TV favorite Mindy Kailing looked amazing.  Loved the turquoise clutch.  
Safe outfit for the event but amazing none the less.
 

Jesus Christ superstar meets the Queen?!  Whatever Katy Perry's motivation for the night the look was a slam dunk.  I will name her Punk Princess of the night!  
No one else could have pulled this look off; it was made for her!

Event Clothing... Kentucky Derby 2013

If your weekend was anything like mine I was outside ALL WEEKEND.  From lunching on patios, to hikes and walks, a trip to the anitque market, I spent almost no time inside.  I have a very red nose to prove it.  
So if like me, you also missed the Kentucky Derby (not that I ever 'really' watch it).  The hats as everyone knows are 'the' most important part, sorry horse-ies..lol  For today's post I rounded up some of my favorites from the Derby!  The Derby is on my bucket list, something about it just makes me want to see it in person.  I also day dream of how fabulous my hat would be if I ever do go!  I mean, can you imagine! hahahaha

In the mean time, it is Monday, so sip your coffee, tip your hat, relax and look at so beautiful hats!

Event Clothing... Canadian Screen Awards 2013

I am PROUD Canadian, and what would this Canadian fashion blog be if I didn't cover our own events!  On Sunday was the Canadian Screen Awards and us Canuks heated up the carpet!  Being humble as we are the outfit choices were tame and nothing MAJOR.  Only a few worst dressed but some definite gems!

Here is my review!

Canadian Bachelor winner Bianca Kamper in a one shoulder sequin gown.  Amazing! Perfect with that slicked back hair.  Only thing I would change would have been a smaller handbag.

Gabrielle Miller in a similar gown, this time with two sleeves! lol  
Loved the colour, is it bronze, is it burgundy?

Our very own Canadian bombshell Kim Cattrall in a bias cut silk gown.  
She just proves that you can be sexy at ANY age!

Kristin Kreuk gets the vote for the riskiest attempt on the carpet and she pulled it off!  This jumpsuit is awesome!  Perfectly styled, even better was the curls in hair.  She is young and fresh and this look exemplifies this to a tee!

Real Housewife of Vancouver Mary Zilba was OVER the top in this nude gown and necklace.  But, can't knock her too much as this look is stunning.

Sara Canning looked fresh and beautiful in this pink gown!  Amongst this cold weather she went for a Spring look.  With her easy strawberry blonde hair this look was perfect and refreshing.

Wendy Crewson looks amazing!  Love this gold dress and the minimal jewellery!
 

Laura Vandervoot went the bombshell way, and my goodness she is ever so the part!  That dress fits her like a glove.  She was my best dressed of the night!

Drum roll.. worst dressed is!

This chick, who I don't know who she is..lol  The scarf, and the fingerless evening gloves.  
OVER STYLED!

And brilliant actress Meg Tilly.  The dress works, kinda, but you killed it with the hoses and then anchoring with those shoes.  With a 'light' skirt you needed a 'light' shoe.


Well done Canadians, you looked amazing, and we are amazing!  Do you agree with my picks?
