Breakfast Television: Festival Style

Last Friday I appeared on Breakfast Television talking about Summer Music Festival Style and these were my beautiful Mode Models I worked with wearing the outfits I styled. (I'm so short next to these glamazons!)

L-R: Olivia's outfit was from H & M except the necklace which was from The Pretty Secrets' Vintage Collection and the belt was my own. Ruke's floral number was from American Apparel, including the black and white striped bra-let underneath. Kendall wore a beautiful dress from Loft 82 and floral crown from The Pretty Secrets. Darian wore an outfit from H & M (the head band is mine, from Coach, it's actually a scarf turned inside out) and silver necklaces from The Pretty Secrets. All shoes were provided by Gravity Pope.

Have a great week everyone!

Life Lately

I apologize I've been M.I.A. lately and haven't written a blog post in awhile! It's been a busy last couple of weeks for me but now I'm back to my normal routine. I was very happy I was able to take a mini vacation to Phoenix last week and relax in the hot sun with my family. I didn't get a tan though because I use SPF 110. (I'm so anal about taking good care of my skin.) We celebrated both of my nephew's birthdays while we were there. That cake on the bottom right was from Walmart and it was better than anything I have ever tasted, even better than my favorite Dairy Queen Skor Blizzard. And it only cost 10 bucks!! (Food is so cheap in the states!) Not sure if I can get this same cake in Canada but I'm on a serious hunt. I also did some a lot of shopping at Nordstrom Rack in Scottsdale. I could spend hours in that store. I'll be wearing my purchases on my blog in the near future ; ).

A day before I left for Arizona, we filmed segments for the West Edmonton Mall Mother's Day Makeover Contest with the 3 winners for Breakfast Television. It was my second time as a Fashion Stylist for the contest and it was another great experience. I had the pleasure of taking each of these ladies on a shopping spree at Simon's and The Bay and styling them for T.V. : ) They also got a new hairstyle and their make up done. Unfortunately I don't have copies of their "before" pictures to show you : (.

And that's pretty much what I've been up to lately! This week I'm also gearing up for our Blogger Clothing Sale. If you live in Edmonton, you should definitely attend! There are gonna be some niiiiice clothes and accessories for sale, I can tell you that ; ).

Win a $4000 Makeover With Me and West Edmonton Mall!

I've posted about this on Twitter and Facebook so I thought I'd better blog about it, too. I am so excited to be the Official Stylist for West Edmonton Mall's Mother's Day Spring Makeover Contest! Three lucky winners will win a complete makeover worth $4000.00. That includes a style consultation with me, a new wardrobe from Simons and/or Hudson's Bay (I'll go shopping with you), a new hairstyle from RAIN Salon and Spa and a makeup consultation and application from either Murale or The Bay. How awesome is that?! I know there are so many deserving, hard-working mamas out there who always put their children first, well now it's time to think about YOU. If you live in Edmonton or the surrounding area you can click here to enter. And oh yeah, the winners' transformation will be documented on Breakfast Television : ). You can also check out last year's coverage here. We had so much fun and I can't wait to do it again! Good luck ladies!

Yesterday I got up at the crack of dawn (4 a.m! And I don't drink coffee!) and headed downtown to City TV to appear live on Breakfast Television talking about the Spring "prints" trend with host Ryan Jespersen. These are my beautiful models from Mode rocking the outfits I styled.  It was my first time on LIVE television (acting is so much easier for me!) so I was nervous but I had a lot of fun and hope to do it again soon. To see the 5 minute clip you can click here. (It takes a bit to load, just FYI.) And if you have any questions about how to wear prints, that I didn't answer in the video, let me know in the comment section below!

This is one of the first shoots I ever styled. We shot this over a year ago and some of the photos were finally published online in The Libertine Magazine! I loved working with this creative team, everyone was so talented including our stunning models April and Matt. I have to admit I didn't post some of the pictures that were published in the magazine because I thought they were a bit too "risque" for Marie a la Mode ; ). To see those pictures you can click here.

I want to wish my little nephew Kayden, aka 'The Tank,' a very Happy 4th Birthday today! He's not so "little" anymore though. His head is bigger than mine and he weighs exactly half as much as I do! I'm not kidding! 

I hope you're all having a good week! Cheers to the freakin' weekend being right around the corner : ).
