On Friday night I was invited to go to The Frugal Fashion Gala at the Bata Shoe Museum by Nokia. They wanted me to test their new N97 phone, and to tell you all about my Nokia Experience. So not only did I get to use a brand spanking new smart phone, but I got to meet some crazy rad people, and take as many pics as I wanted. So I did… I mean it isn't my SLR but the phone pics turned out great, and it let me tweet and chat throughout the show. For someone who has been using a craptacular pay-as-you-go phone since her return to Canada, it was AWESOME. Donna from Nokia was so so nice. Other bloggers joining us there were Christina from Material Archive and Justine from WhateverEurotrash.




Also awesome, The Chains of Love's Melissa Barber. I moderately attacked her with compliments (again, sorry for being way too excited about your bag Melissa) but SERIOUSLY look at it! And her! You might know The Chains of Love through The Cherry Blossom Girl, Late Afternoon, and even Krystal Simpson. Let me tell ya, her designs are even more spectacular in person.


Also on the meet and greet was designer Ashley Rowe. Number one, she liked my shoes, bonding us together for life, and number two, she designed those sick splatter boots down there. The runway show consisted of shoes that had been made over by a slew of different people. It was amazing. Seriously, even if some of the dresses were made out of plastic bags, I was all over that. Ashley Rowe is kind of a big deal to be honest, and I'm sad to say that I only talked to her about buying shoes from South Korea instead of her line. Next time.





I met Shawna Robinson of Label. Loved her shoes - pony hair/wooden wedge heel and she has a lot of awesome pieces at her store. Foxy Originals were there too, and so was Salem Moussallam from Remixclothing.ca. Check him out, he's bringing a RentTheRunway sort of deal to Toronto. And I'm definitely going to be taking advantage of it.




SO that was my big night on the town, what did you get up to this weekend?
