One of Hintonburg’s best bars (and yeah I’m counting it as Hintonburg, it’s on the cusp okay, Sommerset and Preseton). In between running into old friends, dancing to sweet beats on the sweaty, blue lit dance floor, waiting in line for the bar, and grabbing some fresh air, I managed to grab some going out looks fit for the hipster universe:

Stephanie (a friend of a friend). Love the completely spring vibe with this look that comes from using soft colours like the light blue jean and off white blouse. Paired with the hardcore metal necklace and amazing boots makes the outfit perfect for a summer’s night out. The best looks always come off as effortless and this for sure does.

(Wish my Iphone took better pics, my apologies). But this is Charlotte, a fashion intern, working at Cascata Blu, rocking the amazing American Apparel fringe dress, vintage shoes and purse from Toronto.  Here’s the look from the back:

Charlotte was also wearing custom designed pierced silver earrings from Lisa Martin, a local Ottawa jewelry designer.

You can find out more about Lisa’s designs or contact her on her Facebook page, which can be found here.

Overall, good night. See all you crazy hipsters next month.

Rent frock Repeat is a great concept for fashionistas, and for those who are unfamiliar with it I highly recommend you check on their website. Essentially women are able to rent designer pieces, such as Yigal Azrouel, Badgley Mischka, Anna Sui, Jay Godfrey, and Pink Tartan, at a fraction of the price for either 4 or 8 days. If that wasn’t amazing enough, they offer you two sizes, one being free, to ensure the perfect fit for your event. And plus sized girls, don’t fear, they offer many of their pieces in sizes 12, 14, and 16! The website also offers amazing sizing tips as they understand different garments look different on various body types. To rent via the website, all you do is set up an account for free and pick the dress of your choice. Such a lovely idea for getting a top quality dress for an event instead of shelling out hundreds of dollars. I for one will for sure be using this website in the future.

And there is more great news. Rent frock Repeat is heading to Ottawa for their first pop up shop, from April 21-29! You encouraged to drop in from 10am-8pm on those days, and it’s being hosted at Galerie 240, located at 240 Guigues Avenue. As well they will be at the National Women’s Show on April 14th(today! drop what you’re doing and go! You don’t need all day to cry over the Titanic) and 15th, doing a fashion show each day.

After I check out the event I’ll make another post about my experience, and I hope to see all of you there!
