Field Trip...

Yesterday I was lucky enough to be invited by {BrillCommunications} to a Spring clothing preview of not only {AdditionElle}'s line but of their new addition the EDIT line by {Jeanne Beker}.  Flattered and honored do not describe the joy I had to attend this event.

Not only was it my first clothing preview (blogger baby steps to get to it) but I was going to be able to be up close and personal with the Canadian fashion icon herself Ms. Beker and head of marketing for {AdditionElle} Roslyn Griner; I was quite lucky to be in this room!  We talked progression of fashion, the creativity found in fashion and just getting dressed in the morning, the love of clothes no matter the size and most of all, the beauty of women regardless of their size.

It was a day I will not soon forget nor do I want too!  I will float on this fashion cloud 9 for a little while, or at least until I break a 5inch heel and come down!..lol


We all sat candidly as Jeanne told us her story and how EDIT came to be!  Incredible stories and antidotes.  In a nut shell, follow your dreams! Even if they are to be a mime!


Just a couple samples of her clothes that will be hitting the stores late Spring. 

 

The next few shot are all of the {AdditionElle} Spring clothes; graphics, yellow, crisp whites!  The snow hasn't even fallen and already excited fro Spring!


That mint green, die.

PICTURE TIME!!!!


Myself and the other bloggers with Jeanne! 
And shout out to Roslyn who is beside me; we share great fashion taste, both of us had tuxedo blazers on!  Also, Roslyn, I had a fantastic time chatting with you the entire event, you are a breathe of fresh air into the company and it is noticed by not only myself but every other curvy woman out there.  Keep up the great work, it is awesome knowing we have someone like you in our corner.

Field Trip...

Going to wineries and doing tastings and tours is a favorite past time of mine!  I have been blessed/lucky to have done trips to Niagara on the Lake here in Ontario, Nappa Valley in California, and even twice to Reins, France, the champagne region, for tastings.  I am what you would call a full blown wino!

For my girlfriend Julia’s birthday she wanted to go to {Joseph’s Winery} in Niagara for a tasting.  Of course I attended with a smile ear to ear.  I wanted to wear something fresh and summery yet polished as to not look to bummy to enjoy my favorite past time.  Dress the part right?!

The outfit is meant to look like a dress but it’s not.  It’s a tank worn with a skirt that I yanked high up and added a belt.  Both dress and top are both from {Old Navy}, and the belt is from {Cotton Ginny} (how old eh).  Black T-strap sandals and a COACH cross body bag to complete the look.  What I like about this outfit is the little details; my colourful earrings that are not overtly loud, the eye-lit detail on the skirt, 
and of course the ruffle on the shirt collar.










Julia thanks for taking this picture, and I hope you had a great afternoon in Canadian wine country, I know I sure did!

Field Trip...

Brunch Anyone?!

Already in love with the {Maddee}, then this shirt was posted on {Forever21} I thought where/how can I wear them together.  Then the idea of putting together an easy look that’s casual enough yet pulled together to wear to a brunch meet up with my girlfriends, and this is how I would pair them.  Great skinny black jean/pant, a great congac bag, some light gold jewelry and then some wicked blue nail polish to spice up the fun level.  Cant wait for fall brunch in the city with my girlfriend Kristy when I can wear this outfit that is effortless chic as I would put it..lol 

Now I am craving spinach eggs benny!

Field Trip...

Today I am heading to the Toronto Zoo with my little cousin and my sister.  I cannot wait! 
I haven’t been to the Zoo since my gr. 8 graduation trip and to say I am excited is an understatement!

I am thinking these {TOMS} would be the perfect shoe for a day at the zoo.  Sadly I didn’t think to purchase them before we went and TOM couldn’t ship them to me fast enough.

Off the Zoo we go! Lions, Tigers and Bears OH MY!  And my favorite, PINGUINO’s!!!!

Will post some Zoo pics when I get back.  Enjoy your Wednesday everyone!

  
Happy Hump Day Everyone!!!
