I attended my first ever Sugarlime shopping martini party today at Hotel Le Germain (30 Mercer Street, Toronto). This was an exclusive shopping event put on by Sugarlime for their customers.
Sugarlime is a wonderfully crafted, trend setting, and high end jewelry line designed by Karen Buder. Based out of British Columbia, all of their pieces are made from the finest "hand-selected semi-precious and precious stones, Swarovski crystals, glass beads and fashioned from sterling silver and 14 kt. gold fill". Her pieces can be seen on celebrities like Tori Spelling, Susan Sarandon, and Steven Spielberg to name a few.
Karen treated all shoppers to cosmos and chocolate covered strawberries making it a fun and enjoyable shopping experience.
Sugarlime Jewelry is only available in BC. Check out their website for available pieces, specific locations, and sign up to be notified when the next shopping party is in Toronto.
I thought this was kinda cool! There's a flash mob happening at the Toronto Life Square on June 7th, 2008 @ 11am.
A flash mob is "a group of people who organize on the Internet and then quickly assemble in a public place, do something bizarre, and disperse". Fashion Magazine organized this flash mob in participation of the Luminato festival to promote the city's art and culture.
If you are in and around Toronto on June 7th and looking for something fun and different to do, this would be something interesting to take part in!

Sorry for such a delayed post re the Toronto L'oreal Fashion week Fall 2008 Collections.
For the second season now, Toronto L'oreal Fashion week has been in a tent, in the heart of the city at the Nathan Philips Square. This season there were a few positive improvements made from last season that I would like to point out.
- ticket sales, pickup and registration were in a separate tent = less congestion in the main tent
- instead of two entrances into the runway room there were three
- there were less sponsor booths set up inside the mingling area, guests had more room to stand around chit chat and sit
- the runway room had organized a designated photographers and videographer section
- there was standing room added behind the last rows of seats in the runway room
Even though I had been swamped with work and left with little time, I was able to see a few shows (unfortunately my PENTAX Optio S5i camera was crap and all my pictures came out horribly):
Evan & Dean - was all about browns, magenta's, blacks, whites, and beige. There were large collars, blouses accented with big bows, and arm warmers.
Lucian Matis - showed a beautiful collection, perfectly designed for the female body, hugging all the right places and accenting all the right curves.
Bustle - suits, suits, suits! It was all about the suits this season.
Andy The-Ahn - never disappoints. His collection was simple but not plain. His main accessory was the collar like neck piece which was lined with fur, and on almost everything. My favourite was the off the shoulder, double breasted, black, suit jacket.
David Dixon - Set the mood for his collection with a backdrop of a beautiful winters day. He had the bubble dress, the suits, the little black dress, and PURPLE PLAID. His collection was very wearable and classic.
All in all, I was quite pleased with this season's fashion week. Looking forward to the next!
