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.

Last night I had the wonderful pleasure of attending my first Ottawa Fashion Week. I had no idea what to expect and I had an amazing time. I have to hand it to every single person involved in the organization of the event, from the designers to the Westin to the planners to the volunteers. It truly was a wonderful event and I hope the rest of the weekend goes just as well.

In these three posts I’ll cover the designers I saw and the general feel of the show from an “outsider’s” (outside of the industry, that is) experience. These posts will not be a great way to feature every look that went down the runway, or trends that are emerging. Rather I’m admiring the various pieces, and the Ottawa Fashion industry as a whole, and reflecting on my unique experience there. Enjoy!

In this post you’ll see my snaps the event featuring from Elena Hinke and Elena’s Creations, Amanda Emmanuel, and frAsh, so let’s get this show started…

The other night I went out for a few pints at the lovely Corner at Churchill and Richmond, and ran into Kate Arnold, creator of Flights of Fancy by Bombshell’s Closet, who makes wonderful hair accessories and jewelry. This is actually Amy wearing one of Kate’s unique and beautiful pieces.
