No I didn't go! Did you?<br /><br />Ok I slept in! Sat 8am Tornto, New York & I don't know if it was world wide. I was following twitter & could have twit for a wristband to get in. I live kind of far plus it's winter. Yes, the stuff are very nice. I love the dresses or the shoes. Maybe if one of my friends gave me a lift downtown that early. But none of my friends are big followers of fashion, even though they love shopping & name brands.<br /><br />The thing is I'm not a grabby person so I wouldn't like to have to fight over a dress & trying to snatch up my sizes in so little time. Some people lined up overnight outside of Eaton Centre just to get into H&M! I would like to see what people got though. There was also an online auction for the Larvin pieces, but I'm not really a big bidding person anyway.<br /><br />Well, actually next time H&M has something big I might actually go for it if I really feel like it. Depends what it is & what mood I'm in too.<br /><br />http://www.ellecanada.com/video/lanvin-and-h-m-behind-the-look-book/1149<br />http://shopping.louloumagazine.com/index.php/default/by-theme/lanvin-for-hm.html?&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_name=editorialthriftyfashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04402351960472531162noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667469397624366614.post-68587924655774772532010-11-21T19:35:00.000-08:002010-11-21T20:04:08.251-08:00Samantha Thavasa<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiniX77B9sqCKzhS-BsJnKOCf3IXmc1RdmmpysFvV8Haynm-SU48ZAc131wNzCfvnSJUVLjcu9N3mJ4c7RMbY3igphsm6Wk0GzzrMXZLn5csnAo9us-mpji04h0KCaQmHDzcAcLN5PMkKo/s1600/1119-03.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 319px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542213969213378594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiniX77B9sqCKzhS-BsJnKOCf3IXmc1RdmmpysFvV8Haynm-SU48ZAc131wNzCfvnSJUVLjcu9N3mJ4c7RMbY3igphsm6Wk0GzzrMXZLn5csnAo9us-mpji04h0KCaQmHDzcAcLN5PMkKo/s400/1119-03.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQLnIJdHWFM0XmGEAlBUbYErAwnMc7WQihx4hm903ajAW4TgdJ-_dNYbakQnHG2eurl2bKjk1SZmyl6LhE1UBow91mRyFp27ERY3hZQJitB9CSpUggdm3mgZjat6ZdzwrDohBK2iEYRhs/s1600/18377_297366571734_279366521734_3889763_4453418_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542213905441879826" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQLnIJdHWFM0XmGEAlBUbYErAwnMc7WQihx4hm903ajAW4TgdJ-_dNYbakQnHG2eurl2bKjk1SZmyl6LhE1UBow91mRyFp27ERY3hZQJitB9CSpUggdm3mgZjat6ZdzwrDohBK2iEYRhs/s400/18377_297366571734_279366521734_3889763_4453418_n.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC9heUDmQd7pW-CqGnjemlb7uJEYOMwvcLsdbBHDZsIWYxFUCyzY-6cPbW4MrBQQDU1ekphFmv2PsvW_nSA6goEo9hJ4cTwgpXt6RHFia-mel7nsIEQBCA8RMuTZ-DfGPBCudOhaX8y24/s1600/18377_297366556734_279366521734_3889761_6673673_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542213783098006018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC9heUDmQd7pW-CqGnjemlb7uJEYOMwvcLsdbBHDZsIWYxFUCyzY-6cPbW4MrBQQDU1ekphFmv2PsvW_nSA6goEo9hJ4cTwgpXt6RHFia-mel7nsIEQBCA8RMuTZ-DfGPBCudOhaX8y24/s400/18377_297366556734_279366521734_3889761_6673673_n.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuh6fiw7D1PMtZsVZwGW82vx3U43WTCPhNJ71sk4zGK0U1BAYjNh5UkDmseBDbC46efOg-AhXRRdFG41GAY6U9_7tiJQr767lPhlWOGnRS36UggrAR4wTf7wT1Y1J-s71KDS1KEUh3sig/s1600/18377_297366566734_279366521734_3889762_2077308_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542213273701017650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuh6fiw7D1PMtZsVZwGW82vx3U43WTCPhNJ71sk4zGK0U1BAYjNh5UkDmseBDbC46efOg-AhXRRdFG41GAY6U9_7tiJQr767lPhlWOGnRS36UggrAR4wTf7wT1Y1J-s71KDS1KEUh3sig/s400/18377_297366566734_279366521734_3889762_2077308_n.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div></div></div></div><br /><br />Samantha Thavasa is a Japanese fashion brand based in Tokyo, most well known for its handbangs. Many young women including me are in love with it's Teddy Bear handbags. You may already have seen the ads endorsed by Beyonce Knoles, Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham, etc... Jennifer Lopez is the latest celebrity to endorse the brand as of 2009.<br /><br />The company's target customer base are college and working women in their twenties. Their prices are designed to appeal to this age group.<br /><br />In Japan, the company has over 130 retail stores. In late 2006, Samantha Thavasa opened its first U.S. store in New York City. They also recently just opened up a store in Singapore also.<br /><br />I believe they are not available in Toronto. I will have to check Pacific Mall. Otherwise I'll have to ask a friend travelling to Asia to get it for me. Last resort is ebay which only has 1 ebay store/seller that sells it so far. I love that new black Teddy Bear handbag!thriftyfashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04402351960472531162noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667469397624366614.post-88674980825915766572010-11-14T02:08:00.000-08:002010-11-14T02:20:17.137-08:00More Lux StuffHermes Reversible Belt Demonstration<br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wdMdjxEK4Yg?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wdMdjxEK4Yg?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br />I personally don't wear belts often as I am a bit lazy. I actually donated most of my nice belts which mostly I never even wore before. Wish I had kept the nicer ones. Now I'm kind of beltless. I may have a few lying around which are kind of ugly anyway. I'd probably wear them more if I had a really nice one like this. But then it looks a bit complicated to ensemble. Hmmmm.....!<br /><br />I'm not exactly sure when this belt came out. I think it was probably this summer. I assume it was around when this youtube video was posted.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://usa.hermes.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?firstLevelLeftCategoryName=ALLERRETOUR&catalogId=10052&categoryId=157545&parentCategoryId=127587&productId=65370&topCategoryId=127527&langId=-1&docname=ShoppingArea%2FCatalogSection%2FProductSubsection%2FProductDisplay.jsp&leftCategoryId=157545&firstLevelLeftCategoryId=157545&storeId=10202&ddkey=CategoryDisplay">HERMES REVERSIBLE CASHMERE SCARF</a><br />What's with me and Hermes & Reversible stuff lately? Hmmmm.....! Ok, it is basically winter now. Summer didn't seem too long ago. It is now already soooooo COLD!! All I want is this cashmere scarf which you can wear on two different sides to match with your different outfits.

Some of them actually function as real locks that you could use on your favourite jewelry box. They come in silver, yellow-gold, and rose-gold. There's also a heart-shaped lock handcrafted in platinum and covered with pavé diamonds which is quite pricey, but well worth it for the lady of your dreams.

It's called the "Hermes Reversible Leather" bracelet. I also love the "<a href="http://usa.hermes.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=10202&catalogId=10052&langId=-1&categoryId=143574&leftCategoryId=128521&topCategoryId=127526&parentCategoryId=127565&currentColorId=143574&displayUnitCategoryId=0&nbItem=0">Kelly Double Tour</a>" bracelet in Black. I think that the triple/quadriple band seems like too much for me, but some people like that too.<br /><div></div></div></div><div></div></div></div>thriftyfashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04402351960472531162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667469397624366614.post-31837473451989914222010-10-24T18:36:00.001-07:002010-12-14T16:04:07.373-08:00LGFW Mar/Apr 2010<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGZZwN1aVi4SbvPlNwnrm8bS6v5bg2pvC1IrM4k_6UeiItASrcCYgVMxwYCOuiX4JX2GsvoJN-iYXs27EDjJgbfiQk9N4mPn6buvICQCz08lXYKeG8BnNCp0GSAiYfA3_G7dTyPtdiWIs/s1600/23521_10150166606905147_888275146_11830455_2848380_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 266px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531793582420516930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGZZwN1aVi4SbvPlNwnrm8bS6v5bg2pvC1IrM4k_6UeiItASrcCYgVMxwYCOuiX4JX2GsvoJN-iYXs27EDjJgbfiQk9N4mPn6buvICQCz08lXYKeG8BnNCp0GSAiYfA3_G7dTyPtdiWIs/s400/23521_10150166606905147_888275146_11830455_2848380_n.jpg" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5zcuU38VNslku3dhyphenhyphenzDlgXBTBiMAmxzmOLebwRlI5hImND4s-_09DANktIti-ceTojqK-bsxGQDx-mqslLt7xV-i34cIqvmFT7faxxhCjArmJ-MkLarph9byJ735Bwg2dz2_JxlPIrU0/s1600/23521_10150166606915147_888275146_11830457_5224664_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 266px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531791817359712082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5zcuU38VNslku3dhyphenhyphenzDlgXBTBiMAmxzmOLebwRlI5hImND4s-_09DANktIti-ceTojqK-bsxGQDx-mqslLt7xV-i34cIqvmFT7faxxhCjArmJ-MkLarph9byJ735Bwg2dz2_JxlPIrU0/s400/23521_10150166606915147_888275146_11830457_5224664_n.jpg" /></a><br />This was 6 months ago when I attended my very 1st fashion week.

I wonder why I never attended fashion weeks in past years. I've always been fashionable/ fashion-minded, but I've always just read fashion mag & fashion shows online & on tv only. Strangely it never occured to me before to attend a real life fashion show & now I'm attending plenty to make up all the years of missed show, lol! Second time around and I'm already used to the flow of everything especially having attended <a href="http://www.alternativefashionweek.com/">FAT</a> & other things this year. This time it was held at Heritage Court at the Ex. It's a slightly larger building than last time. They had more seats & the runway was slightly bigger/longer. There's many improvements of course, not that anything was bad last season. There's always room for improvement. The fact that there's more seats means that less people have to stand for the bigger shows. But there's probably more people attending each season as it grows. But still there were things that I liked about last time that got changed. There is only 1 ladies & men's washroom this time.<br /><br />The volunteer uniforms got changed from the stylish blouse top to a white tshirt. But I'm sure the volunteers don't mind too much as they are having fun. I chatted with different people from bloggers, photographers, people working there & volunteers just to get people's perspective about things on fashion week such as how much fun they're having.<br /><br />I didn't go to all the shows, not even most or half. I didn't attend Day1 because I wasn't in <a href="http://www.lgfashionweek.ca/">LGFW</a> mode yet so I missed the <a href="http://www.holtrenfrew.com/">Holt Renfrew</a> show. Some one told me I missed the Holts bag full of goodies, but oh well I was actually tired & enjoying a sashimi bento box dinner.....I always have sushi cravings, it's a weakness of mine. I attended more than half of Day2 shows, last 2 of day3, half of Day4 & today Day5 I decided to stay home & rest.<br /></div><div>I met Amanda Hunes from <a href="http://www.heartless-ink.com/">HeartlessInk</a> at the <a href="http://www.orangenyc.com/">OR</a>: <a href="http://www.angelachendesign.com/">Angela Chen</a> fashion show, Colleen from <a href="http://clotheslinefinds.blogspot.com/">ClothesLineFinds</a> while having coffee and Jay Strut from <a href="http://www.foryoursatisfashion.com/">SatisFashion</a> while lining up to get into the <a href="http://www.romonakeveza.com/">Romona Keveza</a> fashion show. Last season I didn't talk to many people. I only remembering meeting the girl from <a href="http://stylemounties.blogspot.com/">StyleMounties</a> whose name I think is Mariya. I also met fashion photographer <a href="http://www.jwuphoto.com/Justin_Wu_Photography/Justin_Wu_Photography.html">Justin Wu</a> in real life after I added him from a facebook suggestion several months ago. He resides in Paris and just happened to be in town during LGFW, lol.</div><div><br />As for swag, I got a great bottle of <a href="http://www.lorealparis.ca/">Loreal</a>: <a href="http://www.lorealparis.ca/styling/woman/elnett-satin-hairspray.aspx">Elnett Satin Hairspray</a> & a couple of delicious <a href="https://www.dolce-gusto.ca/">Nescafe Dolce Gusto</a> samples which I'm saving to use when I get the coffee machine. Well I really could have gotten some other really cool stuff if I really wanted to, if I went to the early shows, but I didn't make a big enough effort I guess. So I'll try that next year. hehehe! Actually, I almost got a big bag of goodies at the OR Angela Chen show as I was sitting in the front row for one of the shows, but the people behind grabbed mine as I was about to sit down. Guess I should have said something. But oh well! I was kind of tired that day. A girl who got the goodie bag showed me what was inside which made me sad coz it was all good: 2 iphone4 cases, a book, a bottle of fuze, etc... sniff! But it was a very good fashion show, so I didn't mind too too much. sniff! I heard that last season's Angela Chen ORANGE show was very good & also had a very good gift bag. But I happened to be 15 min late for it although I rsvp'd & couldn't get in. The purpose being there is to enjoy the fashion shows, meet people and learn new things about fashion. Everything else is just the icing on the cake or sprinkles. Oh yeah, Ken gave me a 'token of love' the pink heart lightup Barbie pin/brooch which they gave out at the last fashion week but I didn't get one until now, so that made me really happy to finally get one to play with, lol. Oh yeah, free foto with Ken but you had to bring your own camera. But at the <a href="http://www.rowenta.ca/">Rowenta</a> & <a href="http://skintimate.ca/">Skintimate</a> booths, they had their own professional camera & photographer which they upload to facebook or email it to you & you could enter a contest for a prize.<br /><br />Hey did I mention that <a href="https://www.dolce-gusto.ca/">Nescafe Dolce Gusto</a> offered free drinks, mostly coffee? But there was also hot chocolate & icetea. There was also a cash bar of course. The VIP lounge also had a cash bar, nope it wasn't openbar/free just in case you were wondering. Hey they actually persuaded me to want to buy the coffee machine. I haven't bought it yet, but soon. I'm craving it right now. That machine rocks! It's not just any simple coffee machine. It makes perfect smooth foamy cappuccino & other coffees/drinks. Even the icetea is so foamy/creamy looking that you think it contains milk when it doesn't.<br /><br />I got my makeup done by <a href="http://www.lorealparis.ca/">Loreal</a> & yes it was free! On the first day I was there I got my makeup done by them. On the second day I didn't get anything done and then on the third day I got both makeup and hair done by the Loreal team. I overheard that they were having an afterparty just for the Loreal makeup artists & hair stylists, lol. They only work for Loreal during fashion week twice per year & for the rest of the time they work at a spa/salon or independently.<br /><br />Last <a href="http://www.lgfashionweek.ca/">LGFW</a> when I was waiting in line to get my makeup done, I met <a href="http://www.patmcdonagh.com/">Pat McDonagh</a>. I had no idea who she was as it was my first fashion week and I was pretty clueless about the local fashion industry. She was right in front of me so I kinda watched her get made up. I thought maybe she was a model since she is quite tall. She talked to me a little bit & that's when I found out that she's a designer because she said that some stuff she wanted to show in Toronto had been sent to Moscow by accident. After she left, the makeup artist told me who she was & then when I went home I googled her. LoL! So now I guess she is one of my favourite designers just because I met her in person. Hey, why not? I did take a look at her stuff online & it does seem to fit my own personal style. She asked me if I had a business card, & unfortunately I haven't printed any new ones yet & had none on me. Dough! Someday, one day when I see her again, I'll make sure I have one. NOTE TO SELF: print more business cards asap, lol!<br /><br />Oh, I also happened to have seen <a href="http://jian.ca/">Jian Ghomeshi</a> right after the Joe Fresh show with his girlfriend as they were leaving. I forgot to say "hi" to his gf too so I hope she didn't feel like I was ignoring her. All I said was "hi & what's up <a href="http://jian.ca/">Jian</a>?" Well, I attended his interview thing at Ryerson a week or two before too, but didn't really get to talk to him or anything then. When I see him next time I'll have a little more to say. I forgot to ask him how he enjoyed the show & what shows he saw, etc... Well I didn't want to bug him too much either. I felt kinda bad that I was talking to him & forgot to say hi to his gf. It's kinda hard when you see someone you didn't expect to see & want to talk to them & can't think of what else to say. haha. Yeah his gf was quite pretty too. Ok, if he ever reads this I'm doomed, lol. I still haven't uploaded the photos & videos from his Ryerson talk/interview thing because I still need to get back my camera memory from someone. I hope that I can get it back & not lose all the footage. That would be horrible. My previous <a href="http://www.lgfashionweek.ca/">LGFW</a> footage was on it too, & that's why I wasn't able to blog or post the fotos.<br /><br />I didn't have any other celeb sightings unless I did see ones that I don't recognize/know of. It's good that way coz then you won't feel intimidated when you do meet someone famous if you don't know who they are yet & then you can talk to them normally w/o feeling awkward. Yes it would suck to be too nervous & then you can't have a genuine conversation with them & get to know the person. But then it all comes with practice. If you've never met a celeb in your life, it's easy to feel intimidated. But if you are used to seeing them, then it's a lot easier. But famous or not famous it's very nice to meet new people. I like to talk to everybody who's friendly, but not scary, lol. But eventually I'll need to know who's who if I want to continue working in the fashion industry here.<br /><br />As for the fashion shows, ok ok no more space here. I'll have to put them in further posts. So stay tuned for more to come!<br /><br />P.S. I really admire the MEDIA group camping out in the little cube box section where they eat, drink, have their cameras & laptops. They don't really go outside as they have to save their beautiful spot for taking the best shots & they have to get someone to save their spot when going to the WC in b/w shows. I know I could do that too if I had to, but since I don't I'm glad to have a nice comfy chair. Maybe if I take of Photography professionally. Some of them are from <a href="http://www.blogto.com/">BlogTO</a>, <a href="http://www.thestar.com/">TheStar</a>, etc... & many are Freelancers who submit their stuff to different mediums. Oh wait, they do have chairs the photogs & videographers. Most of them have those cool little plastic foldable chairs which I think is cool to have. But I think for those Media guys & gals, they get the most satisfaction when they get to see their hard work published. Hey it's cozy & most of them recognize one another anyway from previous seasons. It's a pretty big group of them! At least someone offered them bottled water b/c they can't go out to get free coffee outside. Well they could if they really need if they get someone to save their spot, but they can only do that once or twice throughout the day. </div>thriftyfashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04402351960472531162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667469397624366614.post-4342897899551270082010-07-28T03:37:00.000-07:002010-10-22T18:52:48.842-07:00FFW Cheap is the New Chic: Design Contest Final at Nywood<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnSDxzfQrlUYneL8zFd-zMuMHgPRD_h1x-eelqy5NEmdpiMHudAFgOkUjqF2OqiVUMuNJ2Ahx7n_GbSRlL5hT_o7pJ3w5onDA0D4yspdKy3uotvyz2d6044dhj8UJ7gFjgNWzfwVTFu9A/s1600/38967_10150236574570147_888275146_13783843_5012676_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498919733444774610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnSDxzfQrlUYneL8zFd-zMuMHgPRD_h1x-eelqy5NEmdpiMHudAFgOkUjqF2OqiVUMuNJ2Ahx7n_GbSRlL5hT_o7pJ3w5onDA0D4yspdKy3uotvyz2d6044dhj8UJ7gFjgNWzfwVTFu9A/s400/38967_10150236574570147_888275146_13783843_5012676_n.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg20CKSibf-EYgBbk0Cs47T2QaEz3C8jFwUDE9s_FrYN_hXhZfMxgX0VvS-MuJAAc-ZyScchdWxDawXkNTBvhGsuxafKAwBlV3sWjD-gZWRw5f8eKuoNNRL-mD3-nUwXu_4MS-M91TB8Kc/s1600/38387_10150236574880147_888275146_13783855_4691536_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498919311862543314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg20CKSibf-EYgBbk0Cs47T2QaEz3C8jFwUDE9s_FrYN_hXhZfMxgX0VvS-MuJAAc-ZyScchdWxDawXkNTBvhGsuxafKAwBlV3sWjD-gZWRw5f8eKuoNNRL-mD3-nUwXu_4MS-M91TB8Kc/s400/38387_10150236574880147_888275146_13783855_4691536_n.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtgj-cHLey8tNyHcCn35mcvFeuXy76Dq7NLHjOb1I6-NGrjpm8NQkDYN6fR7R-7adCq1r6hBQxJs2dR3t5dYeMUOD5dqntQSjw8Zuq8I1Tw1bulSEIWAtVBehaK_4ySKemYkeq0TAIAkA/s1600/38387_10150236574890147_888275146_13783857_1621228_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498914743516899794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtgj-cHLey8tNyHcCn35mcvFeuXy76Dq7NLHjOb1I6-NGrjpm8NQkDYN6fR7R-7adCq1r6hBQxJs2dR3t5dYeMUOD5dqntQSjw8Zuq8I1Tw1bulSEIWAtVBehaK_4ySKemYkeq0TAIAkA/s400/38387_10150236574890147_888275146_13783857_1621228_n.jpg" /></a><br />THE 3 DESIGNERS WITH THEIR BEST DESIGNED OUTFIT<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjusHOigtn-oxtV3JFiinZVpPZbu0ar3J7i93-Ac2gaj33SYha6b9Le3jRsqAD47ujK9LVcwjchBOiBJAs0Um3nu_wZk72Lw8mie-Pg6moT2yBRIinEVX_5OODBgdCM0tBtp1GFvSCByPA/s1600/38387_10150236574900147_888275146_13783859_877119_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498914850706454978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjusHOigtn-oxtV3JFiinZVpPZbu0ar3J7i93-Ac2gaj33SYha6b9Le3jRsqAD47ujK9LVcwjchBOiBJAs0Um3nu_wZk72Lw8mie-Pg6moT2yBRIinEVX_5OODBgdCM0tBtp1GFvSCByPA/s400/38387_10150236574900147_888275146_13783859_877119_n.jpg" /></a><br />THE 3 JUDGES<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvd71sy31HuDuz2YMijN0bvXVmULAkBzYGmR-i3t6CQEwf_xw9UYIxOtNYCyaE1oQbOV9uaqlZbYfWpu8tsqlIR09p3oUfZVbzsjOyxD1ksCy5KNB1swpev2zovaunZiPOl_lgLBJI-1E/s1600/37825_10150236579730147_888275146_13783955_6141026_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498915177424702802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvd71sy31HuDuz2YMijN0bvXVmULAkBzYGmR-i3t6CQEwf_xw9UYIxOtNYCyaE1oQbOV9uaqlZbYfWpu8tsqlIR09p3oUfZVbzsjOyxD1ksCy5KNB1swpev2zovaunZiPOl_lgLBJI-1E/s400/37825_10150236579730147_888275146_13783955_6141026_n.jpg" /></a><br />THE CROWD<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://www.frugalfashionweek.com/ffwshopcrawlparty2010.htm?subject=Cheap%20Chic%20Submission">Cheap is the New Chic</a> is a contest where the three designers battled against one another in the finals of the design contest. Three judges was to vote the best collecting for recycled clothing that the contestants got from <a href="http://www.goodwill.on.ca/">Goodwill</a>. They were to vote on who had the best designs overall and who made the best use of old/used clothing also.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The first contestant Erin Summer had a nice 70's retro edge to her designs. I liked it a little bit, but it wasn't enough to wow me. The second contestant Mady Bone is from Vancouver. She had some really pretty, girly, elegant designs which I really liked and I actually thought that she was going to win. However, when I saw the third contestant Devlyn Van Loon's collection I changed my mind, but it was a close one. What really made her a big winner is that she wasn't afraid to use a bunch of colours especially the bright ones. More importantly she really made use with what she got from Goodwill, whereas Mady Bone had used some old curtains/tablecloths that she got from <a href="http://www.goodwill.on.ca/">Goodwill</a>. I think that was a minus because she had more room/fabric to work with from curtains/drapes & tablecloths. Van Loon had to make sure that the was enough fabric from the old pieces to turn them into the new pieces and not waste anything.

I used to go there all the time when I had the membership a few years ago. I was a fashion/shoe nerd. I wanted to know everything about shoes back then from history, styles, the designers, trends throughout history, etc...</div><div></div><div>I haven't been there for so long so it was nice to have the chance to go there again for something other than just looking at the artifacts.</div><div></div><div>There was a small fashion show which was the main highlight of the entire event and what most of us was there for. I don't know who the designers were. I just know that they are local and a friend said that some of the designs were shown at Alternative Fashion Week back in March.</div><div></div><div></div><div><a href="http://www.summerfresh.com/">Summer Fresh</a> served some really healthy food. It was sorta like a mini buffet, but you could really eat a lot if you were really hungry and really took the time. I only tried a little bit of each, but I get full really quick anyway. There were several different kinds of salads and veggie dips. I didn't see any meat, but there was cheese. So I had a vegetarian meal without realizing it until now, lol!</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><a href="http://www.foxyoriginals.com/">Foxy Originals</a> jewelry was there selling their stuff. They are two local Canadian very passionate girl designers who started their jewelry making business in highschool. I really love the necklaces with the words on them, but unfortunately that night they didn't have the one that I want to get, "Dreams Come True." So maybe I'll get it off their website later on. On their website there's a section with a bunch of photos of celebs wearing some Foxy designs, eg. Paris Hilton, Megal Fox, Nelly Furtado, Tori Spelling, etc... I really wonder how they got that to happen. But what I really like is the cute little pink plastic giftbag with handles they give you with your purchase.</div><div> </div><div>I met an asian/chinese girl who happened to be the blogger of the blog that I happened to be following as of lately. Check out <a href="http://www.thecheapgirl.com/">TheCheapGirl</a> by Oliva. It's a great blog, looks quite successful & she works very hard at it. She posts quite frequently & updating us on all the latest deals & stuff. So it's quite a helpful/useful blog for everybody. I made up my own meaning for the world "CHEAP-chic hot elegant and professional/posh" since I don't generally like the world cheap. Mostly I prefer frugal or thrifty but it's an easy to remember world & more catching than any other word I guess.</div></div></div></div></div></div>thriftyfashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04402351960472531162noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667469397624366614.post-83008942160234045572010-07-23T11:05:00.002-07:002010-12-14T16:13:59.268-08:00FFW Makeovers at Kiehl's Uptown<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibDfpQKot5v11h3mVNwPqYz_RA1IXRFwb5L47FHdO91VqIjqVMxuZhkpMFhd-nzepD03zqmi_gnqhT83keSGUPqnakSuF5KUigibKo8hR1y7CdMN3hj73qzUcwmGPxKiYymmqyqBsCapU/s1600/38508_10150235514730147_888275146_13751814_2202046_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

It was my first time there, although I've been to the one on Queen St. and yet to visit the new Yorkdale location which is slightly larger than the Eglinton one.<br /><br />When I got there it was a few minutes passed 7pm and there were only about 5 other girls/women there besides the staff. They were getting their mini facials and there was no lineup, so I was waiting for my turn while trying a cupcake. But before I finished my cupcake and tea, a line had started with about 15 more people arrving, so I was 5th in line. Maybe I should have started the line, but oh well, I didn't wait too long for my turn.<br /><br />The facial started off with an exfoliating cleaner put on my face & then i rinsed it off at the sink and had only massaged it a little since there were many people in line whereas at home I would take my time. Then the lady put moisturizer and eyecream on me. It was quite short but still good. I didn't think mini facials were that mini, lol!<br /><br />Next I got my hair done and I had the perfect thing in mind. I've always wanted to try a head of curls. So I told her that's what I wanted and not an updo this time. I'm glad she asked me what I wanted to do with my hair first. I appreciate it even if I didn't know what I want. Then I'd just ask her to suggest something. But I hate it when someone just does something without asking me first and not letting me choose. That's what happened last time somewhere else, but it ended up looking ok, so I didn't feel mad afterwards.<br /><br />There were many yummy cupcakes. I had 3 of them. I had an appetite for more, but I figured 3 was more than enough sugar for the day unless I planned to do super workout the next day. The Davids Tea-tinis were nice. But I think they could have been even better if they just added some sugar & ice. The vodka tasted strong too, so a little less vodka and ice would have cooled it off a little too. I only had one tea-tini, but I also drank a cup of the 2 different teas solo and they were nice. I'm used to fruity cocktails. Even if there's a strong alcohol content in it, the fruit juice makes it taste ok, but I just can't drink too many then to not get drunk.<br /><br />There wasn't any pressure to buying anything of course. But they had a little discount on some of the travel sized packages which gives temptations. Kiehl's products are kind of expensive, but some of the stuff are really good to use. So for me, I'd only get specific products that I like/need, but wouldn't buy a whole large sized set of the many different products unless I had a fortune. But still I have enough stuff to use at home for now.<br /><br />The little complimentary swag bag contained a mini sized facial cleanser and moisturizer and also 3 small samples of some other products. So I'm gonna try them out first and if they work well then I'll restock later. I think the cleanser and moisturizer were the same products they used in the min facial.<br /><br />Almost all who showed up were females last night except for the DJ and I think I saw one other man who probably came with his girlfriend, but I don't think he got any pampering done. They didn't say specially that it was an all women's event, but I guess that's what was expected by many since these events are usually for women only. Hope the guys didn't feel too left out. They would qualify for the mini facial part, but probably not the hair and makeup part unless they really wanted. But of course men are always welcome to join their girlfriends at these types of events if it doesn't say specifically for women.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>thriftyfashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04402351960472531162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667469397624366614.post-52697670820181590092010-07-23T11:05:00.001-07:002010-07-28T04:39:37.559-07:00FFW Industry + Media Launch<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-OzuwqxK96fYSCDcjperKEISEYhjRmKn1uiC79w0cLRbtIeM0ZLbNU7xzMbMZJgFDf8SvgGaNrOZny3B7waXAOKh-E3RFyzyx6LhkmqTMwGtxepVscoQ7y920gqbZZG6-gVf_fsMOIoM/s1600/36840_10150227816545147_888275146_13536547_587053_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498894678591811202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-OzuwqxK96fYSCDcjperKEISEYhjRmKn1uiC79w0cLRbtIeM0ZLbNU7xzMbMZJgFDf8SvgGaNrOZny3B7waXAOKh-E3RFyzyx6LhkmqTMwGtxepVscoQ7y920gqbZZG6-gVf_fsMOIoM/s400/36840_10150227816545147_888275146_13536547_587053_n.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjthmUtJNlOnlzozJ7I1OxbhC98hsPb3oWRUcf2ury-lKyfIAlnkFfRjMihd7ijCmTz1yVRRf1FC5ELxMBLTDdTqzORdwVIunklk1ALl6Iuo607WCOj_2uT_rFVXXTmUX1L6vciS3mWwLY/s1600/36840_10150227816550147_888275146_13536548_4404515_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498920140224666482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjthmUtJNlOnlzozJ7I1OxbhC98hsPb3oWRUcf2ury-lKyfIAlnkFfRjMihd7ijCmTz1yVRRf1FC5ELxMBLTDdTqzORdwVIunklk1ALl6Iuo607WCOj_2uT_rFVXXTmUX1L6vciS3mWwLY/s400/36840_10150227816550147_888275146_13536548_4404515_n.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLGcJDGLSqMu9f2aYIIdZDh4ceWO-8DdoKWN2usrwW1piUECVqHmkZhruyU0EUy421Xz94lFESIYVEhretZ-y3RRfVOt7VF0jVLXldCfPhnXnRZK6r3N0aAHEiEjfuPPvbTHx9ou9oc1s/s1600/36840_10150227816540147_888275146_13536546_1064757_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498894568829257106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLGcJDGLSqMu9f2aYIIdZDh4ceWO-8DdoKWN2usrwW1piUECVqHmkZhruyU0EUy421Xz94lFESIYVEhretZ-y3RRfVOt7VF0jVLXldCfPhnXnRZK6r3N0aAHEiEjfuPPvbTHx9ou9oc1s/s400/36840_10150227816540147_888275146_13536546_1064757_n.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM-r4v3NFoRQz9D3ZR1Yc6tGvrsftvL8CQKjsevHgpinA7PAlWOzbQvR0NMr0ctkoaRG0urDiEt_n1dtDxec4lDQdPvZkRMS3GPa_JK_KnudOtjc6RlIwY0_bKBxRA1a6DWjH98EyrLWc/s1600/34986_10150227805630147_888275146_13536088_328310_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498894325971534770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM-r4v3NFoRQz9D3ZR1Yc6tGvrsftvL8CQKjsevHgpinA7PAlWOzbQvR0NMr0ctkoaRG0urDiEt_n1dtDxec4lDQdPvZkRMS3GPa_JK_KnudOtjc6RlIwY0_bKBxRA1a6DWjH98EyrLWc/s400/34986_10150227805630147_888275146_13536088_328310_n.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwyCJqsrG9Yg4DUYPAOd9pdKE8Bk21gLgFRGtOga3375tFIkYfC0RJIsvdZOw8qJGN9y6hm0jQELvbi6_-k0sR0Td8wZFOw6GBEpafi-5YHl43dhWTzn5HhqIby415QvC1mktZNgXSVYg/s1600/34986_10150227805625147_888275146_13536087_7317675_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498894212705025202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwyCJqsrG9Yg4DUYPAOd9pdKE8Bk21gLgFRGtOga3375tFIkYfC0RJIsvdZOw8qJGN9y6hm0jQELvbi6_-k0sR0Td8wZFOw6GBEpafi-5YHl43dhWTzn5HhqIby415QvC1mktZNgXSVYg/s400/34986_10150227805625147_888275146_13536087_7317675_n.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>It was a free event, but had to rsvp in advance to be on the guestlist to get in. It was held at the West hair salon on Queen St. W. It was a very nice place, but it was extremely hot that evening that the fans weren't very helpful. There was free water, beer and root beer & also mini cupcakes and poutine. There was a mini fashion show. Everyone who showed up were mostly all girls except for the photographers. There were girls who were bloggers, buyers and writers for fashion magazines and then there's a few random people like me who just enjoy events. But actually, sonner or later I can consider myself as a true blogger, when I get less lazy, blog more but with quality posts, get a domain and print some business cards. Then I can consider myself a real blogger. And I think I need to learn a little more about the Toronto fashion scene by reading some articles and attending a few more fashion shows. But for now I'm ok. I've already attended quite a few events.<br /><br />I chatted with the salon owner. She was nice & I loved the purple dress she was wearing. She looks very young but mature. She's still in her 20's I think. I also chatted with a girl who's a jewelry designer which is very inspiring for me since I love making jewelry myself, but haven't pursued doing it as a real business and getting designs shown at fashion shows.....yet. Now I'm thinking about it, but will take a bit of time to pursue that.<br /><br />It was a very nice and relaxing evening despite the head and sweating like a piggy. After the event I headed home and decided to get the FFW pass and attend all the events.</div></div></div></div></div>thriftyfashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04402351960472531162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667469397624366614.post-80492645190606829122010-07-15T00:15:00.000-07:002010-10-24T11:06:27.185-07:00David Dixon Fashion Show at Ultra<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBvcLsqI_kwYKqrzYvdbREmEAHdrjG2PbLMRhyphenhyphen1T2Xb58j_0T_F7GzXTKg7WtoDEBUU6IVLf5xGzF_ajX4Gmr-tIO2mkt_H7tvSyYoTE8Wu_-uj8h2zYsmjNBfoxA4ZHa5oZsKPk7S9Vw/s1600/35137_10150230239275147_888275146_13602754_5677899_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498895658651053042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBvcLsqI_kwYKqrzYvdbREmEAHdrjG2PbLMRhyphenhyphen1T2Xb58j_0T_F7GzXTKg7WtoDEBUU6IVLf5xGzF_ajX4Gmr-tIO2mkt_H7tvSyYoTE8Wu_-uj8h2zYsmjNBfoxA4ZHa5oZsKPk7S9Vw/s400/35137_10150230239275147_888275146_13602754_5677899_n.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxPHwvl8qJuOLdiLPb7CLXnLJ3RHtXI0FU0fzaevRIKU9TIHAC6wGjkLMhnMqmZ_qzzesamFSeZ5626WVKwrrX3_-TVbVYZSamWndas6K_wIN9snmYD3zeCyv0cbrIbwX3zNkFWYeNINM/s1600/35137_10150230239270147_888275146_13602753_4848012_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498895576605493602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxPHwvl8qJuOLdiLPb7CLXnLJ3RHtXI0FU0fzaevRIKU9TIHAC6wGjkLMhnMqmZ_qzzesamFSeZ5626WVKwrrX3_-TVbVYZSamWndas6K_wIN9snmYD3zeCyv0cbrIbwX3zNkFWYeNINM/s400/35137_10150230239270147_888275146_13602753_4848012_n.jpg" /></a><br />ME & THE BARTENDER<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsL7Jj-uDI6Cb74c47fkC5QdTyqN_4HD1t7JWbLX7LdhkGvd4Ms0ZvSDRvkiNvhUQJGgwP6Q2-72DWStEOlw99ZiqOFDmF1sufA6-OMiXM8Q96N5MyZrM2oNnqNTze_kVIhyECKMZW7LE/s1600/38211_10150230240160147_888275146_13602799_2288685_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498895103353981522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsL7Jj-uDI6Cb74c47fkC5QdTyqN_4HD1t7JWbLX7LdhkGvd4Ms0ZvSDRvkiNvhUQJGgwP6Q2-72DWStEOlw99ZiqOFDmF1sufA6-OMiXM8Q96N5MyZrM2oNnqNTze_kVIhyECKMZW7LE/s400/38211_10150230240160147_888275146_13602799_2288685_n.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqWpRWZbQTNI2m6Wdf6mnlW4Apy5v64-HhX3O9yW_dU_WQlfRMf3MUu-YIX_aUas055hJJCUiOjVJCN_o71ucWXHbJxC4a3eMm6Y869rd8H2mOGBgkTqS9HNNQ6yqFDrjBuPPxzt5AKSA/s1600/38211_10150230240170147_888275146_13602801_5043379_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498895182422557842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqWpRWZbQTNI2m6Wdf6mnlW4Apy5v64-HhX3O9yW_dU_WQlfRMf3MUu-YIX_aUas055hJJCUiOjVJCN_o71ucWXHbJxC4a3eMm6Y869rd8H2mOGBgkTqS9HNNQ6yqFDrjBuPPxzt5AKSA/s400/38211_10150230240170147_888275146_13602801_5043379_n.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9lXkbRA4YHKykJCUdXGjsenrP99qN0RGs4ZhQlhj9W6X-miXxAr71eJ-m_IVhDjU86KtdFL0GS_RpaNhz9uWRqglu82B6UGu6I6ieltZcUaU0eH8Pa6Cs45BH2QcjdtlAatTn4PDxz-I/s1600/38294_10150230240635147_888275146_13602830_5802931_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498895471907366530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9lXkbRA4YHKykJCUdXGjsenrP99qN0RGs4ZhQlhj9W6X-miXxAr71eJ-m_IVhDjU86KtdFL0GS_RpaNhz9uWRqglu82B6UGu6I6ieltZcUaU0eH8Pa6Cs45BH2QcjdtlAatTn4PDxz-I/s400/38294_10150230240635147_888275146_13602830_5802931_n.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2VJ0swnJwAO3eEHBEdecCWmb-wp_hueAf87CPlqqOEmvwUtJH-9lu74-rPE73nznKHR1t_WdhRs5w46Bi5ZPrC605UjMfFeRrjSOAYTNjITpubKEHPFnfWKul3SSRyCo39E0IJfWlMtE/s1600/34317_10150230240400147_888275146_13602817_7311012_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498895314822790914" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2VJ0swnJwAO3eEHBEdecCWmb-wp_hueAf87CPlqqOEmvwUtJH-9lu74-rPE73nznKHR1t_WdhRs5w46Bi5ZPrC605UjMfFeRrjSOAYTNjITpubKEHPFnfWKul3SSRyCo39E0IJfWlMtE/s400/34317_10150230240400147_888275146_13602817_7311012_n.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>Last night was the David Dixon fashion show at Ultra Patio. It was also a party to celebrate the launch of the "Industry Insider Magazine."<br /><br />The show started with the special guest performance by ROCHESTER AKA JUICE singing some rap by himself, and then the models came on to the catwalk one by one in dazzling pieces. He sang throughout the entire fashion show as the background music for the fashion.<br /><br />The dresses were mostly covered in black. They were very chic/hip/glamorous. It is the only DD designs I've seen so far in addition to the Barbie Collection at LGFW back in March. I especially liked the dress with the pockets. It looked really cool with the model comming out with her hands in the pockets of the dress. I think the pieces shown last night are probably a part of the collection he will be showing at a fashion week next season. I hope the models didn't feel too hot literally in the dresses as it was a lot of fabric for the hot summer weather.<br /><br />There was a lot of people, but I still managed to get a pretty good view standing right in front of the catwalk and a little to the right side.<br /><br />There were many fashion industry people of course. I recognized a few faces; a few photographers and a model or two. I recognized the girl with the cool mohawk hair whom I remember from FAT Alternative Fashion Week, but I didn't talk to her. I didn't talk to many people actually. I kinda just relaxed a bit. Other times I think I talk to much and kinda scare people, haha! I most talked to the photographers, especially the girl whom I met at LGFW. It was interesting to find out what they planned to do with their footage and where to submit them, etc...<br /><br />There was a guy whom I thought I recognized. I thought he was the guy who did my hair a few days ago at the other party I attended. It was quite funny. Then he told me he designs handbags, etc... I thought he was joking coz I seriously thought he was the hair stylist guy. Good thing I asked him what his brand's name is. When I went home I kinda googled it and seems pretty cool. So I think I learned something. Check out <a href="http://www.nella-bella.com/">Nella Bella</a>. I think it's very cool that all the products are manmade and vegan. How SeXy is that?? & it's Canadian/he's Canadian.<br /><br />As for the designer himself, I think I probably saw him but didn't know it. I was standing across from him at a viewable distance, but I didn't notice where he was standing until I later saw someone post a photo of him at the event.<br /><br /><p></p>My Fuze martini was half spilt coz some random guy bumped right into me & it got all over my shirt & skirt, sigh! He just said a very quick sorry, then turned around & left. People should watch where they are going and not be so pushy. I hate it when people don't watch where they are going especially if they walk backwards. Obviously they can't see where they are going when walking backwards unless they have eyes on the back of their head. This time I tried the pommergranate one with vodka this time. I've drank Fuze juice & Fuze martinis several times before. You can get the Fuze juice at the supermarket or even Shopper's Drugmart, & maybe Walmart. It's a natural health product because it contains some ingredients that are good for you; Chromium, Vitamin C, Garcina Cambogia Rind Extract, etc... It also helps increase your metabolism.</div></div></div></div></div>thriftyfashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04402351960472531162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667469397624366614.post-1869230372854651432010-07-13T21:19:00.000-07:002010-07-28T04:41:51.491-07:00Flirty Girl's Night Out-A Pink Carpet Soiree<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnu1HZo2FHg_6mx5x_yeTGwJN7qZf1vQ47o0okKcCqImXirNBKaW5rzxlpWdb9h3lq6vARLTgXzzCJ5SjYATW1_PSnAAZhxCu7e79cMp8TyZJcJ7PjfBU2NFf0rxRpNnjb1Lsgl_NBlPE/s1600/flirtygirl1.bmp"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

It was my 2nd time attending Flirty Girls Nite Out. I think they have one of these about every four months now. The general price went up by a tiny bit ($5 more from last time). That's quite expensive to pay at the door which is $10 more than buying the ticket online prior. I suppose it was to offset some extra costs somwhere, maybe to provide more giftbags. I did notice some slight improvements such as having more appetizers. They had meatballs and cream chese on bread and some other stuff. Previously I think they only had crackers with dip. The food was sponsored, and the male servers are from Eligible Inc. which is a dating service. Actually there was slightly more swag in the giftbag this time too. However, if the price goes up again next time, that would really suck so they'd better not. But having attended twice and also some other similar events, I might not attend next time unless I can get a free tix. haha! I'm just saying that right now since I've attended two recently. But then a few months from now I'll probably be bored and want some more pampering, lol. It all depends if I'll be free on the next date. Maybe I'll sign up for some classes, get a punch card for several dropin classes for yoga, boxing, belly dancing, etc... just to get 2 free party tix offer. I always wanted to take some classes there, but somehow never got around to it yet. Hopefully I will soon.</div><br /><div>The thing is, I really wished they had makeover services that would last past the night like brow shaping services eg. waxing, threading or tweezing. Manicures are okay, but how about pedicures? They definitely should have mini facials and a digital photo booth where you can take & upload a foto of your new makeover. So if you forget your camera and don't go to the afterparty, at least you'd have a good reason to get all madeup for. To offset more costs they could let in a few more vendors too. But then it does seem a little crowded already. Just some suggestions in my opinion.<br /><br />Last time I was there I arrived late & didn't get any pampering after waiting in line for several hours, but I did sip a few drinks, watched a few performances and chatted with some fab girls and the swag bag at the end kinda made up for it so I didn't complain. This time I was smarter and I lined up right when the whole thing started. Well, I was late 10 minutes to lineup for the pampering because I was walking around and talking to people and went to the toilet. So I ended up getting my nails filed & coloured by Spa Treatment, a nice quick hair updo by <a href="http://www.blomedry.com/">Blo</a>, and an eye makeup application by <a href="http://www.sephora.com/">Sephora</a>, etc... I had wanted some sexy curls, but the guy from <a href="http://www.blomedry.com/">Blo</a> wanted to do something else so I let him.</div><br /><div>I didn't really watch much of the dance shows, but they were amazing of course, especially the one to the "All The Single Ladies" Beyonce song towards the end. I missed watching the fashion show in full view because I was lining up. All I saw were the heads of the models, but I saw all the photos after. I did see more of the dancing as there were slightly less people crowding around the performance area. The fashion show was 3/4ths to the end of the party and many people were tired of lining up and fled the lines to see the fashion show.</div><div></div><br /><div>The fashion show was by <a href="http://www.joycouture.com/">Joy Couture</a> & <a href="http://www.unitedfront.ca/">United Front</a>. It was my first time hearing about <a href="http://www.unitedfront.ca/">United Front</a>, but I've been to several of <a href="http://www.joycouture.com/">Joy</a>'s fashion shows before & she always have nice stuff. I love her dresses. United Front displayed some tshirts which had nice/cool logos but it'd be more interesting if they did something with the fabric. It looked a bit too simple. The fashion show was a bit short, but it's always like that b/c it's just a small part of the whole event. But overall the show was ok.<br /><br />I think that this time it was organized a bit better than last time as they had guys handing out drinks while we were lining up for the pampering. Last time we had to get the drinks ourselves at the bar and we had to lineup for that too. So what some of us girls did was send a girl to grab a few drinks back and then got back into line. Complimentary drinks are always good because you don't want to spend a fortune when you get thirsty especially when you already have to pay an entry fee to get in.<br /><br />The hand/arm massage from Arbon was a bit short because you had to choose between getting your hands done or your arms, but not both. I think they did that to save time and be more fair to let more girls get their turn. But I really liked the gel they used on my hands. I don't know what was in it, but it smelled really good. I think Aveda was there to do arm treatments too, but I didn't get to check that out. It was so little time, too many people. Pink Petals jewelry was there as a vendor. They have some nice stuff too and I see them at almost every event I go to.<br /><br />The Sephora line was very long and I didn't think I would make it to the front by the end of the event, but luckily I did and got my eyes madeup. They didn't do a full makeup application probably to save time also. Last time they did do full makeup applications by some other company which I can't remember since it was several months ago. Well I think it's better to be fair and let more people get a turn to get pampered.<br /><br />All that pampering only lasts one night. The manicure may last a few days more. But it still feels good to get pampered and it was good being surrounded by other fabulous girls as well. There was an afterparty at a nightclub near by. This time it was at Dolce Social Ballroom & last time at Century Room. I skipped the afterparty and headed to another club Tryst where the Playboy Golf Casting was held, but I didn't stay long and went home to get some beauty sleep.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?profile=1&id=100000195487026#!/event.php?eid=132260976800504&ref=ts">http://www.facebook.com/album.php?profile=1&id=100000195487026#!/event.php?eid=132260976800504&ref=ts</a> </div><div><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?profile=1&id=100000195487026#!/event.php?eid=334870832197&index=1">http://www.facebook.com/album.php?profile=1&id=100000195487026#!/event.php?eid=334870832197&index=1</a></div></div></div></div>thriftyfashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04402351960472531162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667469397624366614.post-43540425788392220402010-07-13T19:17:00.000-07:002010-07-23T10:13:58.603-07:00Frugal Fashion Week 2010<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJwAZ5Kwr-2ANn4whHTx-lZ68-C4GfpB2mjGHWlNBaGSQqAPgmUJiusqAE16JwtfY4aOAJOV-u5m1nvGGdvJwjvwd4960P0z9C258IVVILH-dd3dSjO2WN6EP2OyPuP2FxK6wxAaQqwhI/s1600/FFW%2520-%2520index%25202010%2520-%2520clouds.png"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 295px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493582440240179778" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJwAZ5Kwr-2ANn4whHTx-lZ68-C4GfpB2mjGHWlNBaGSQqAPgmUJiusqAE16JwtfY4aOAJOV-u5m1nvGGdvJwjvwd4960P0z9C258IVVILH-dd3dSjO2WN6EP2OyPuP2FxK6wxAaQqwhI/s400/FFW%2520-%2520index%25202010%2520-%2520clouds.png" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhBzrVoWKsKLXgKiZu0RHGlZv1rXPkyQxs1hNCitJ8957olXVre-3W7o2XGTrxsOG2aO614U6CQ4Q66dSt5G2XpCshnfJ5ZMM9EIW169g1H_60kE_NM9oTc8mAXo8W0a1DvIlJsqMDO4k/s1600/705061859.png"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 178px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493582636274483266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhBzrVoWKsKLXgKiZu0RHGlZv1rXPkyQxs1hNCitJ8957olXVre-3W7o2XGTrxsOG2aO614U6CQ4Q66dSt5G2XpCshnfJ5ZMM9EIW169g1H_60kE_NM9oTc8mAXo8W0a1DvIlJsqMDO4k/s400/705061859.png" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3b84w1WwTUaVMVlkljEXY2oQQjpg6W2O0mZpPxelHBG4GwJxPyskM5Tv6fxyT_Ru_J5cPKP31SEoFjqoEXB1ziOoSAqkqH9O0F0E8xjjyF_S3h_RGJ4jLxF4WXPoekdoBa6ELUsktyRg/s1600/FFW%25202010%2520-%2520map.gif"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493582779416009346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3b84w1WwTUaVMVlkljEXY2oQQjpg6W2O0mZpPxelHBG4GwJxPyskM5Tv6fxyT_Ru_J5cPKP31SEoFjqoEXB1ziOoSAqkqH9O0F0E8xjjyF_S3h_RGJ4jLxF4WXPoekdoBa6ELUsktyRg/s400/FFW%25202010%2520-%2520map.gif" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://www.frugalfashionweek.com/">FFW 2010</a> is comming up next weekend from Thurs July 22-Sun July 25.<br /><br />Save with Frugal Fashion Week with <a href="http://ffwmyffw2010pass-efbevent.eventbrite.com/">My FFW 2010 All Access Pass</a> which is now only $35, down from $55 previously! <a href="http://ffw2010gala-efbevent.eventbrite.com/">The Special Gala</a> held at the Bata Shoe Museum is already $25, so you'll save a great deal. Sale of the pass ends on July 22 which is the openning day of <a href="http://www.frugalfashionweek.com/">FFW</a>.<br /><br />This is still a relatively new event as this is only in its second year thus far. So bring your friends, especially the gal pals for the first pampering event at Kiehl's and help spread the word of Frugal Fabulousness! Get pampered, sip, shop and relax while watching a few fashion shows. I think that this festival will gain more popularity each year as more people learn about it. It is mid summer when many people are on vacation and out of town too, but I think it's great to have FFW during the summer since there doesn't seem to be as many major fashion related events at this time, although there are always mini fashion shows happenning all the time.</div><br />The openning event will be <a href="http://ffw2010kiehlsbeautyboutique-efbevent.eventbrite.com/">The Kiehl's Uptown Beauty Boutique</a> launch party which is to be held at <a href="http://www.kiehls.com/">Kiehl's</a> at Yonge & Eglinton (not the one on Spadina & Queen St.).

Let's hope for good weather as it is an outside patio event at <a href="http://www.ultratoronto.com/">Ultra Supper Club</a> on the Patio at 10pm this Wed. I suppose doors open at 10pm, but they said arrive before 11pm so i suppose the fashion show starts b/w 11pm/12am.<br /><br />I was at Ultra Patio last Thurs for another event by <a href="http://www.cityvip1.com/">CityVIP</a> which was extremely hot & sunny that evening. So it's good to be there this time later in the night and getting to see the nightsky. Actually, there's tons of patio parties held there as it is a quite popular venue. I heard FastLane is also holding a networking party there tonight which unfortunately I'll have to skip. The Positive Fabulous Women's group is having a patio/rooftop party at Remy's in Yorkville tonight as well. So many great events I have to miss. Sigh....!<br /><br />Here's the info stolen off facebook.

I missed his Barbie collection show at LGFW back in April even though I had RSVP'd in advance because I stayed inside from the previous show so they couldn't check the guestlist for me. There wasn't any standing room either so I just left and took a break outside until the next show. So I did not get to see any of his fashion shows in person yet, although I did see the photos after. I hope that it won't be too too crowded this time again. As expected there'll be many of Toronto's fashion industry people attending. But you don't have to be working in Fashion to enjoy a nice fashion show.thriftyfashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04402351960472531162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667469397624366614.post-86166923492335686802010-07-12T23:11:00.000-07:002010-07-13T20:18:15.655-07:00Event Alert: FUZE-a-Pooloza<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdG2MgqhRmT8TWtbsr8hqRc5Odd_wWzeuvU15kzOEtKNnjvJ42QFA4c_phRTm9oLNk2kKnNTEOrGymnkDE5TlH6O2hIkwlRaLNF7TRSFIX3m3pcHDKxuLhx2RJJTDKq8u8_U1nYzpmCXs/s1600/fuzepoolooza.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 309px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493277147550081938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdG2MgqhRmT8TWtbsr8hqRc5Odd_wWzeuvU15kzOEtKNnjvJ42QFA4c_phRTm9oLNk2kKnNTEOrGymnkDE5TlH6O2hIkwlRaLNF7TRSFIX3m3pcHDKxuLhx2RJJTDKq8u8_U1nYzpmCXs/s400/fuzepoolooza.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div>After attending a bunch of fashion shows, networking events and parties I am back to blogging. I can't believe I haven't blogged for soooo long. It was as if I had a major writter's/blogger's block. It was selfish of me not to notify you guys/gals about the previous great events that I've been to. So I hope that this post won't be too late yet. It's in a few days' time.<br /><br />A fab pool party will take place this Saturday at Polson Pier which is a venue close to Cherry Beach and has a very beautiful view of the lake and Toronto skyline. It has a beautiful scenic view and atmosphere. The pool is usually open all week, but you have to pay admission. I was there last Saturday for a different event <a href="http://www.drinksshow.com/">The Drinks Show</a> but did not get to get in the pool. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to this party myself, but want the rest of you to enjoy it. So grab your bikinis, trunks, sunblock and a pair of shades, but don't forget your wallet as there's also some cool venders with some cool products that you'll regret not checking out.<br /><br />This event is organized by <a href="http://www.heydoyou.com/">HeyDoYou</a>, <a href="http://ilovewhatwomenwant.blogspot.com/">WhatWomenWant</a> and <a href="http://www.drinkfuze.ca/">FUZE</a>, I think. I've been to some of their previous events including the Spring Trend Report fashion show party in March and the SATC girls nite out party in June, which I enjoyed very much.<br /><br />Makeup Forever will be there to do free makeup applications. I love their products. A few months ago I got a free makeup app from at FAT Alternative Fashion Week and it looked really good.<br /></div><div>Part of the proceeds will go to the <a href="http://www.lookgoodfeelbetter.org/">Look Good Feel Better</a> program for cancer patients. So you'll be partying, but partying for a good cause at the same time. Hey you're enjoying yourself for charity!</div><div><br />It would be better if the event started a bit later since I live quite far from the venue, but then I can't make it anyway so it doesn't matter to me anyway. Hope I can make it to the next one.<br /><br />What more shall I say? The event will speak for itself. Enjoy!</div>thriftyfashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04402351960472531162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667469397624366614.post-19873142633132441212009-07-23T04:25:00.000-07:002009-07-23T04:40:00.278-07:00More on DJ-ing & Band LessonsI recently recieved these flyers which I actually have an interest in taking, but they do seem a bit pricey so I'll explore my options first. The location is probably not that far from my home, so that is an incentive b/c if I do decide to take DJ-ing, but do not want to travel too far I may decide to take this one if the price is not too much higher than other places. <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj83eXlk4ztuD3p0b8h2N8s8aAt6I_1T4GqmhHTqAdPqMARBP-A6QaIR2TGO9YWuFC1oK0QukOYAYK8iVDu8xpySvJMys8Wjt6ZVmSDmjcXDmCHI_E2HaGPS9r4hF8FHS6xni7rPpxOn34/s1600-h/6328_238538565146_888275146_7961700_1784602_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361616355137574418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj83eXlk4ztuD3p0b8h2N8s8aAt6I_1T4GqmhHTqAdPqMARBP-A6QaIR2TGO9YWuFC1oK0QukOYAYK8iVDu8xpySvJMys8Wjt6ZVmSDmjcXDmCHI_E2HaGPS9r4hF8FHS6xni7rPpxOn34/s320/6328_238538565146_888275146_7961700_1784602_n.jpg" /></a> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOTlcMKx_0O2Dq2fuFll-Fmtstqs7YU-fbQ-x0-XyuiGQCxJDwHEnhDcPWn_aueeuXA5kibRUukyWL2Thm3ZiuYtcI9088BT-RWClhuoifU0358v1HTj16LhgzU_4Q_fKoxBzKgF75AZA/s1600-h/6328_238538570146_888275146_7961701_6838269_n.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361617159512520418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOTlcMKx_0O2Dq2fuFll-Fmtstqs7YU-fbQ-x0-XyuiGQCxJDwHEnhDcPWn_aueeuXA5kibRUukyWL2Thm3ZiuYtcI9088BT-RWClhuoifU0358v1HTj16LhgzU_4Q_fKoxBzKgF75AZA/s320/6328_238538570146_888275146_7961701_6838269_n.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOTlcMKx_0O2Dq2fuFll-Fmtstqs7YU-fbQ-x0-XyuiGQCxJDwHEnhDcPWn_aueeuXA5kibRUukyWL2Thm3ZiuYtcI9088BT-RWClhuoifU0358v1HTj16LhgzU_4Q_fKoxBzKgF75AZA/s1600-h/6328_238538570146_888275146_7961701_6838269_n.jpg"></a> </div></div>thriftyfashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04402351960472531162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667469397624366614.post-86500526699838048202009-07-21T22:12:00.000-07:002009-07-21T22:15:26.715-07:00Toronto Summer Eventssorry i haven't posted anything about previous events such as Luminato, 1000 Tastes, Taste of Asia & Nite It UP, etc...<br /><br />I haven't attended them all and was too busy to post about the ones that I did.

They were born & raised in Macau, China until the age of 17 upon the death of their father and decided to move to their father's native country Italy to study & learn the Italian language. They lived mostly in Florence, but lived in other parts of Italy as well while they studied and worked. They first launched their music career when they had a chance encounter with someone working in the music business who introduced them to a music excutive and thus they were able to strike up a record deal with EMI Italy. They were able to produce their very first music album, but whether it was actually released is not known. It has just been said that their record company dropped them because it was thought that Soler's music style was not appropriate for that time. The Acconci boys stayed in Italy for around 9 years & then they moved to the UK for around to further their careers and tried to strike up new record deals but was also unsuccessful. After a year in the UK, the longing for their mother & hometown, lead them to move back to Macau. And after the return to their birthplace, mother luck striked them when Dino was invited to audition for Paul Wong's band and successfully made the cut. And from their lead to their ultimate destiny to become one of the most popular & prominent bands in Hong Kong, all over Asia and within Asian communities all over the world.<br /><br />Their latest album CANTO contains a double meaning, one of them symbolising the language they grew up speaking which is Cantonese, & the other being "Io Canto" as in the Italian words for I sing. I find both of the meanings to be very distinct of their Identy: Cantonese. Asian, Italian, singing & music. It could not be more of a mere accident.</span>thriftyfashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04402351960472531162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667469397624366614.post-63741841446195643692009-06-03T06:04:00.000-07:002009-07-15T19:23:49.222-07:00DABA girls blogWhat do you guyz & gals think about it?<br /><br />just a gossipy hype to me, but nevertheless interesting for some to read that are bored.<br />too much materialism towards relationships.thriftyfashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04402351960472531162noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667469397624366614.post-49016907640244436572009-06-01T22:38:00.000-07:002009-06-01T22:39:34.185-07:00Socialite Life<a href="http://urbansocialite.com/">http://urbansocialite.com</a><br /><a href="http://socialiterank.com/">http://socialiterank.com</a><br /><a href="http://newyorksocialdiary.com/">http://newyorksocialdiary.com</a>thriftyfashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04402351960472531162noreply@blogger.com0
