MY SPECIAL BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION WITH BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS, MOëT &...CHAD KROEGER FROM NICKELBACK...

It was definitely a special Birthday surprise celebrated with my beautiful Girlfriends at really unique place in Calgary - YellowDoor Bistro (http://www.yellowdoorbistro.ca/).

I absolutely loved the table setting-not to mention - the Moet (thanks to my Friend - Marie Pierre-Gonneville who knows how to throw parties with Moet:-) and of course delicious food!!

Lots of laughing, conversation and of course..sweetness - thanks to surprising arrival of my birthday cake(check the picture below:-) that was designed based on how my Friend was trying to describe me to the cake company over the phone:-) (I must say-I even liked it myself on the red carpet with mic in my hand-just my white teeth-someone said looks like I am having marshmallow in my mouth:-) And of the biggest surprise that night - friendly chat with Chad Kroeger from Nickelback who also wished me "Happy Birthday" :-)

Anyway, just thought I would share some picture with all of You...

If you haven't had a chance to discover this place in #YYC - it's a "must-go" place!!!

Beautiful setting thanks to YellowDoor Bistro & Moet

 One of my favorite champagne and I am absolutely loving the gold glasses...Thanks Marie:-)

 What a surprise from my Girlfriends - "me"on the top of the Birthday Cake:-)

HOLT RENFREW VP FASHION EDITOR - LISA TANT - TALKING FALL2013 TRENDS NEXT THURSDAY!!!

J.CREW FALL2013 COLLECTION...

Always so excited to see what is coming up for the next season in J.Crew fashion house:-)

The Fall2013 collection will begin arriving mid-August at www.j.crew.com and in stores across Canada (Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto).

J.Crew is one of my style leaders when it comes to mixing every-day look with runwayworthy pieces!!

This collection looks absolutely amazing and it is inspired by a getaway to Marrakech. “I went there on vacation and wasn’t intending for it to be a starting point for the collection,” said head of women’s design Tom Mora. “But I just couldn’t get it out of my head.” You will find lots of rich color and unique textures. 

Mora said that this season men will find the domination of the style of older men in villages who throw blazers over the shoulders of lightweight djellabas. Crombie coats layered over pretty printed silks was his way of combining a tailored silhouette with a softer, feminine approach to dressing - which makes this collection so interesting!

Looking forward to start "browsing"at J.Crew store in Calgary!!

Hope you will have fun as well!!

Happy Shopping!

EXCITING SUMMER WEEKEND....

 Hello my Friends! Hope you are enjoying your weekend so far!

I must say-after I got back from Europe just past weekend-feels like it was long time ago-such a crazy (in a good way)week-so many beautiful Birthday wishes, surprises (including ladies getaway to Banff & staying at Banff Springs Hotel (http://www.fairmont.com/banff-springs/) - which was a gift I received from my friend-Debra) and...again surprises...

This weekend is all about style...

Just yesterday I had a pleasure to talk on BT TV together with host Jill Belland about fashion style for Polo Sport games - to help Calgarians with their outfit for a great event happening on Sunday at Calgary Polo Club - Veuve Clicquot Calgary Polo Classic (picture on the left - inspiration from Julia Roberts in Pretty Women) and then today - first I was getting ready for an East-Indian wedding and decided to go with cream&gold outfit (picture on the right)..But before that-my wonderful friend who is  one of the most creative person I know (also owner of Designing On The Edge) surprised me with such a beautiful gift - nicely wrapped books about fashion and...style...I think reading is calling :-)

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend, my Friends!!!
