Wow, what a wonderful weekend that was. The rain held up for the most part on Saturday, and it was lovely, clear, bright and sunny on Sunday. I hope everyone got a chance to come out to Westfest 2013 this year, and if not, make sure to come next year! Here is my coverage of the event (I was able to go Saturday and Sunday.) And a big thank you to everyone who posed for a picture! Enjoy

Rock wall fun

Yoshi Chladny, an amazing local performer.

Dom C. Effortless, appropriate and chic. From Urban Outfitters (although could not longer find it on the website, so you may be out of luck!)

Gabe R. Love the cat shirt. I think everyone should own a cat shirt. Urban Outfitters.

These kids were awesome.

Emily M. I love how she paired the bold pattern of the shorts (Forever 21) with a sheer, neutral top.

The Knit Seat! In front of Lilac Lingerie.

Megan W. I absolutely love space leggings, and have been after a pair for forever. These are either from Urban Outfitters or Urban Behaviour. One of the Urbans at least!

The always lovely, and contributor Jane M!

Arya M. 1) I love the name Arya (GOT anyone?) 2)I love the sheer tights with the tat peaking out. Adorable

Local performer

Katie D. One of my favourite Bridgehead baristas, looking great in a light floral print.

That’s it! Hope you enjoyed. Take care

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…
