Fashion Jam and London, England!

Something in the way you love me won't let me be
I don't want to be your prisoner so baby won't you set me free
Stop playin' with my heart
Finish what you start
When you make my love come down
If you want me let me know
Baby, let it show
Honey, don't you fool around

Just try to understand
I've given all I can 'cause you got the best of me.

Borderline … feels like I'm goin' to lose my mind
You just keep on pushin' my love over the borderline

- BORDERLINE -- MADONNA

 

I am super excited to actually be doing work in the field of fashion!

I am helping fundraise for an event called FASHION JAM, held at a club in Toronto to showcase upcoming designers from the area that do not have a lot of exposure.  I will be taking pictures at this event as well to show you guys!

ALL PROCEEDS GO TO CHARITY!

I also got my free outfit from Club Monaco!  I will get it shot within the next couple days.  It is a black dress with long sleeves, fitted with wider shoulders.  It is very flattering on my figure since I have small shoulders and bigger hips, it really creates a gorgeous hourglass silhouette.  I am loving my job, it is so rewarding helping people find outfits that look great on their individual figures and match their unique complexions!

As promised, here is my last feature on fashion week (for now) and this time we are in LONDON, ENGLAND.  I have taken a lot of trips to England, I have family there and my mother was born there.  There is usually an element of humour and quirkiness in English fashion... I can't say I don't appreciate it!  Some of my favourite looks:

Burberry Porsum

I am too inspired by this line to wait for spring to wear some of these styles.  I am absolutely in love with this line season after season and their timeless pieces inspire designers all around the world to imitate their look.  I love the biker-chick feel, smothered with class and elegance!  Other than the fact that the shoes look completely uncomfortable and unpractical, I would rock every single look on this runway!

Hannah Marshall

 I have been drooling over this line since it came out, the silhouettes of each piece and the sheer materials are just to die for!  The fact that the collection is mostly blacks and nudes just makes icing on the cake.  Although there are only 17 looks on this runway, most pieces are versatile, classy, and absolutely stunning.

 

Twenty8twelve

This line is so much fun!  A little less juvenile than Betsey Johnson, these items make you feel girly without feeling as if you're dressing too much like a child.  These pieces are feminine, flirty, classic and gorgeous!

I have some other small news - I am working on a new header!  Stay tuned, it will be up later this week.  I am making it myself on Photoshop.  Check back this weekend for photos from FASHION JAM too!

Take care my gorgeous blog friends!
