falling into next season's trends


Another Friday night out with the girls again! Ooohed and ahhed over fall fashion trends with Flare magazine's editor-in-chief Lisa Tant at the Century Plaza where we were treated to delicious hors de voures, wine and mini spa treatments from Absolute Spa. Big dramatic clothes to match the big dramatic hair and barely there makeup is going to be the big thing this fall. I'm talking about Star Trek shoulders, crazy skyscraper heels and black is the new black. Redundant, I know, but it keeps coming back for a reason.

This was the view outside the spa when we were waiting in line for the free mini treatments.

Ended the night with a screamer, a strange sweet concoction of soft serve ice-cream and root beer slurpee. It has an unusual texture and it is an acquired taste but I think I kinda like it.

falling into autumn

There's a certain crispness in the air when Fall arrives. It's not here yet, but I see some signs of it: cooler mornings, shorter days and the early nightfall. I love this time of year, because it's not too hot but it's not too cold either. And what better way to start the season off then with a fashion show!

Oakridge Mall had their annual Fall fashion show on September 16, 2008, hosted by Susie Wall, the West Coast reporter for the e-Talk Daily show on CTV. Since I got off work early, I was the lucky one who was responsible for getting us a spot in what happened to be a massively long line-up. But, the long wait in the scorching sun paid off as me and the Russian Lenka managed to get some great seats by the catwalk. Sipping champagne and red wine, knibbling on hors d'oeuvres (when we could get them) and lots of gossip to pass the time before the show started. Pics after the post!

The stage was set up right in the middle of Oakridge Mall.

Susie Wall hosting (she also hosted the summer trends event earlier this year, also at Oakridge).

"I wear my sunglasses at night... "
"Cause you got it made with the guy in shades, oh no!"
And the show begins!
Love the shoes! I heart them all!
This one was Lenka's favourite boy toy. He looks very model-y.

Lenka joked that even if the model was gay, she'd still try to convert him. LOL!

This model looked like he didn't want to be here. But he was still cute to look at.
Sexy secretary chic. Of course, I'd wear a camisole under the vest. Or maybe not.

I really like the pattern on this dress. It's a cross between fish scales and feathers... but much prettier than it sounds!

The silver swingy dress stole the show for me. It was sparkly, flowed over the body really well and it looked gorgeous on the model.

And that's a wrap!
