Lately...

Clockwise starting from top left: 1. Nicole Campre's A/W 2013 show at Western Canada Fashion Week. 2. More of her gorgeous designs. 3. I was featured in this month's Where Magazine along with my friends Janis and Vickie. 4. I had a goal of doing Yoga 3-4 times a week (and I was meeting it!) but last week my hip came out of place and now it's off to physio I go! : (

1. I bought a Breville juicer! I love the juice I make but it's a pain in the ass to clean! But it's so worth it. 2. I received skincare from GM Collin and Yonka, I'll be doing reviews of both lines so stay tuned! 3. Funny story about this shovel: My 4 year old nephew had scribbled on his parents' garage with permanent marker so to hide it, he put a snow shovel over the graffiti. Smart kid! 4. Breakfast for dinner!

1. Breakfast Television (click here to read more about it and see the clip.) 2. Wearing my Zara necklace for Western Canada Fashion Week. 3. With my friends Janis and Jessica at Malorie Urbanovitch's A/W 2013 fashion show last week. Click here to see my coverage. 4. Malorie's beautiful designs.

My silly cat, Prints Whiskerson Sultenfuss The First. Such a weird, feisty, at times hostile and vicious yet lovable, silly and cuddly furry creature! Basically, she's schizophrenic. I'm 100% serious.

Have a great long weekend and Happy Easter!

This past Wednesday night I was lucky enough to view local designer Malorie Urbanovitch's Fall/Winter 2013 Ready-to-Wear collection at Startup Edmonton downtown. This hot-ticket, sold-out fashion show was produced and executed perfectly by Mode Models. The gorgeous venue and cool atmosphere honestly made me feel like I was at an event in New York, watching the fashionable crowd mingling with industry professionals while sipping champagne and then "oooh-ing" and "ahh-ing" over Malorie's creations, which were nothing short of AMAZING! I adored this collection which was full of her signature colors - blacks, creams, dark blues, seafoam greens and burnt oranges. My favorite pieces were the beautiful, soft separates made of wool and unfortunately I was too busy drooling over them to get more than a couple of photos but I did get a snapshot of my favorite design which was the last pic, in white. So beautiful!

After winning the Mercedes-Benz Startup semi-finals in Edmonton and then competing in the finals in Toronto at World MasterCard Fashion Week last fall, Malorie's star continues to rise and I'm excited to see her brand expand and succeed internationally. Congratulations to Malorie and to the Mode team on a very successful show!

Here are some photos I took later in the evening:
