2014 Notable Awards

As most of you know, I love my job, I really, really do. I get to spend my days talking to new people, coming up with strategy and tweeting lyrics (OK, that only happened once). But overall I’m really lucky to be able to work in such a cool environment. This past summer I went from Toronto for the MMVAs,…

Rachel Sin at WMCFW

It’s been a busy couple of weeks so when it came time for World Mastercard Fashion Week in Toronto, I was only able to make it out for a few shows. My favourite of the week was Rachel Sin’s beautiful ready-to-wear line. Rachel’s line is perfect for the busy urban woman; whether you’re heading to a meeting or a date…

The Everything To Do With Sex Show

Are you tired of spending date nights doing dinner and a movie? Try something new this weekend and head over to the Everything To Do With Sex Show at the Direct Energy Centre in Toronto. The show starts tomorrow and goes all weekend long! I’ve been a couple times and while I always walk in a little nervous. What if…

TIFF 2014 or That Time I Gave Kevin Smith a Walrus

It’s no secret that I love movies, I’ve already planned which ones I need to see from now until December… seriously. It’s not shocking then that Boyfriend is a writer/director or that we plan dates around movie times. So it will come as no surprise to you that my favourite TIFF moment wasn’t gawking at the gorgeous specimens walking the…

Everything is Awesome!

“Everything is awesome, everything is cool when you’re part of a team!” The Tegan and Sara ft Lonely Island LEGO Movie anthem was my theme song for the weekend. It all started with a hair cut by Greg May on Friday morning, we discussed going grey/lavender but time constraints meant that my colour would have to wait until the next time…

Summer Is Coming

This morning I walked to work in a white dress and a leather jacket, I even wore my favourite Roberto Cavalli sunglasses, and I had a little extra jump in my step probably because it was sunny and beautiful and I can finally see the end of the dark tunnel that was winter 2014. The weather app on my phone…

Ice Ice Amish, Baby!

On Tuesday I headed to a special pre-screening of DIY Network’s new show, Vanilla Ice Goes Amish. Yep, that’s a for real show and that’s really the name. I went assuming that I would probably enjoy mocking Vanilla Ice being ridiculous and, hopefully, rapping about the difficulties of Amish life; I left with an appreciation for the Amish people and…

#TDotTV Lounge Experience

This weekend was all #TIFF all the time, seriously guys it was amazing and exhausting all at once. I usually work TIFF because my clients often sponsor events and lounges but this year I got to do a little TIFFing on my own; I hit the CFC BBQ, a Hollywood Reporter Party, the Melissa DiMarco suite, the Mongrel Media party…

#TDotTVLounge

How excited am I for TIFF? Very. Seriously a lot. ALL OF THE EXCITEMENT. I love how Toronto comes alive during the festival, I love the fashion, I love the energy but most of all I love that my city becomes the thing of legends and stories. On Saturday I’ll be hitting up my first TIFF gifting lounge thanks to the fine folks…

#MeetMotoX

Yesterday evening I joined several friends at the #MeetMotoX launch party for the all-new Moto X from Motorola. I’m a huge fan of Motorola and Android, last year I was gifted a Motorola RAZR at a similar event and I still use it to this day. I’ve gotten in more than one fight with friends and Apple fanboys alike about…
