Flaunt Ottawa in images

Hello Dahlings!

Great things keep on happening, lots lots lots of them, and they're somewhat stopping me from posting my notes, which I shall overcome. So here it comes.

My following adventure at Flaunt Ottawa in images...and...well...words, lots of them. Enjoy!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Justine (Rogers TV producer) and I, followed the guests in the roof top terrace of the NAC, to enjoy the evening, sipping on drinks from The Collection & Bar 56, and indulging in our guiltiest pleasure just as much.

I started by taking pictures of course, that's what I do, as soon as I enter. Pictures of the baroque décor, the designers booths, the atmosphere but most importantly, stealing shots from the best dressed, most original, eye catching women of the soirée, all different from one another, they were simply gorgeous and brought a smile to may face.

But let's get back to the action for now...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I started at the PishPosh Accessories booth, where our two designers/cousins Martha and Penny Govas always have a little charm of their own to offer.

It’s great to see them evolving since last time I spotted them at the Ottawa Fashion week, always so sweet. they picked their favourite pieces, pictured.

Another one I was pleasantly surprised to see was Toronto label Desperately Different.
I had just discovered them at the Montreal Fashion & Design - TransCanada segment few weeks back. I liked one of their sheer tops and the architectural dresses, very modern with a "Thieves" feel to it.

There was also Klutch, a brand of interesting handbags, all made by hand. The concept and products are interesting, they fit one who likes to make a funky/chic entrance on her passage, plus they come in various colours, patterns and sizes. Giving you plenty options to choose from.

Stacey, the event organizer and Kania Designer was spotted flaunting her Klutch, which perked up her already glamorous outfit.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Other hand goodies were assured by Kairos, the sophisticated handbag company with its individually hand-painted and sewn pieces. I like the mix of colours (great for me who mostly wear black) which adds to the uniqueness of each piece.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Besides handbags galore, no one could have missed the frenzy at Kania's booth, a true KaniaMania.

Her pieces were litterally flying off the racks, and ending on delighted customers who were trying them on.

The comfort of her designs and their versatility are so worth the investment.

Talking for myself, that large flare leg black jumpsuit I bought from her is a hit every time I wear it. I love how comfortable and figure flattering her clothes are, on just about every body type.

All this shopping and dancing - As Djays play some of the King of Pop’s best hits (mixed by the DJAY* Entertainment Group) had every belle damzel’s make-up asking for a little touch up, and thanks to Murale service, everyone was quickly and professionally freshen up (the line up was so impressive though.

So I forfeited, after all, I wasn’t the one posing for the camera.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Talking about pampering, there was a booth of handmade body treats freshly made in Toronto by Froosh, they smelled so good that I thought I was in for another little cake treat. They are very affordable and eco-friendly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Another guilty pleasure of mine, if not the most notorious, was completely fulfilled by Little cakes, literally! Courtesy of the Ottawa cupcake bakery, who makes everything from scratch, with love (trust me, I am a pro-baker and I know love when I taste it!).

You can tell from the look on their faces, that they are enjoying these little treasures.

You absolutely have to try them, if you haven’t done so already, I promise you, you will ask for more… and more.

Little cakes are the perfect size, deliciously looking and dangerously good, you won’t feel guilty to indulge in more than 1…

I stopped counting after 5!

Now I must go and count how many Belle demoiselles I have taken on camera at the event, they're coming next, and you just might be one them, so tune in!

Until next time, tataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
