GIRL'S GOT STYLE

Summer may not quite be here for us on Vancouver Island (yet!) but that doesn't mean we can't dress like it . . . This look exemplifies summery-goodness-style at its best: flirty floral print, a show of skin, aviator shades and short little cowboy boots. Love it!
And maybe you should ditch your denim jacket this season in favour of a cute denim trench like this one! Absolutely adorable. And easily transitional for autumn . . .

SOME LIKE IT HOT: FAB FASHION SHOW

A photographer friend had warned me that fashion shows are notoriously hard to shoot . . .

Lesson learned: Get there earlier and get a better spot.

But all things considered, quite a few of them turned out half-alright so I'm gonna count my little amateur photographer blessings. (Apologies for the blurry ones!)

Soo happy I went and thanks again so much to Amanda, Rocco and Chloe for hooking me up. Kudos to you and everyone involved for a job very well done.

Van Isle needs more shows like this one! Such a great event and the clothes were amazing! (And highly drool-worthy, I might add). Victoria boutiques Charlie & Lee, Bliss and Citizen Clothing provided the goods. And the crowd sure liked it hot, too.

Hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed my evening.

Stay sexy, Vancouver Island!

STYLE MUSING OF THE NIGHT

"I have fun with my clothes onstage; it's not a concert you're seeing, it's a fashion show".

-- Freddie Mercury, British musician, lead vocalist and songwriter of Queen (1946-1991)

SOME LIKE IT HOT: THE LADIES . . . DRESSES TO-DIE-FOR

My personal fave of the whole evening . . . What a look! I NEED that dress.
Lovely in lace.
Certainly not your average LBD . . . Divine!

THE LADIES . . . FAB 50s

A delightfully modern twist . . .
Such a cool print!
Love those cap sleeves!

THE LADIES . . . FANTASTIC FLORALS
