Hello Darlings,
This past weekend, the second television interview for the UCU MasterCard promotion for Ukrainian Credit Union that has aired and I just wanted to share it with you.
In contrast to my previous interview, this one was much more informal and in fact, lots of fun :)
Hello Darlings,
Continuing with the orange theme, let's peek into the glorious spring and summer seasons with the new FCUK Spring Summer 2012 collection from French Connection. As I have learned, fashion neither waits nor plays catch-up; we do!
As Milan's fashion houses parade their FW'12 collections on January 16th, let's first look at some spring goodies while wearing what will then be considered last season's fashion. Regardless of the constant play of catch up, don't we all just love to anticipate what comes next! Isn't this the reason why fortune tellers exist? To foretell the future; but if only they could predict what Lagerfeld is cooking up right now...
Hello Darlings,
Yesterday was the opening of Grace Kelly: From Movie Star to Princess Exhibit at TIFF Bell Lightbox. This much anticipated exhibit—which runs through January 22, 2012— was launched by Grace Kelly's son, Prince Albert II of Monaco, and his wife, Princess Charlene in Toronto on November 3rd. Despite being one of the most photographed women of her time, Grace Kelly always was a mystery.This beautifully choreographed exhibit provides an intimate look into the life of Grace Kelly.
With the rarely-displayed items and artifacts ranging from Grace Kelly's days as a leading lady in Hollywood, to a princess of one of Europe's oldest royal families; the exhibition features many of her original dresses, an exact replica of her iconic wedding gown, her signature "Kelly bag", and tiara.

Hello Darlings,
With flashy designer labels and a non-stop flow of champagne at the VIP lounge, the biggest downside were the fights over front row seating. The majority of the action took place in the Runway or the Studio rooms. The Runway room, seating over 700 guests and featuring a 90-foot catwalk, was the ideal setting for the biggest Canadian fashion houses to show their spring/summer 2012 collections. Also, new up-and-comers were displaying their collections in a more intimate setting in the Studio, which seats about 350 people. Despite the large seating capacity, space was never enough.
During each Fashion Week it is always a parade of fashion bureaucracy rather than designer democracy. The guests were creating more buzz about seating charts than the actual collections. With Iphone or Blackberry ubiquitous, every diva took an opportunity to bash one thing or another through their social media. Regardless of the seating soap opera, even the most patient of the crowd were disappointed with the wait times.
