I am totally obsessed with MackleMore at the moment and his track Same Love with Ryan Lewis featuring Mary Lambert makes me love him even more. 

Its about gay rights and was inspired by his uncle! SO inspiring and beautiful! 

It warms my heart when I see hip hop artists and artists in general support and speak out for gay rights! 

Well done MackleMore!

Top 5 Cities in the Middle East

http://www.cntraveler.com just posted its picks for the best top 5 cities in the Middle East to visit and vacation in! 

I'm not surprised that Beirut & Byblos took the top two spots! I'm so happy that Lebanon is gaining it's title back as the jewel and Paris of the Middle East! 

A country worth visiting that is rich in culture, history and the best nightlight that will leave you breathless! 

I pray the rest of the country catches up with it's sister cities one day soon. Cities like Tripoli & many rural area are still stricken by poverty.

Holiday Tree Gown

I worked in the fashion industry & I'm a huge lover of couture gowns. It inspires most of the events, interiors & instilaations I design. 

I created this Christmas/Holiday inspired couture tree gown using all fresh holiday greens. 

It took hours to construct and with each piece hand cut and pieced together. 

The gown was featured at the Chef's Challenge Brunch in Toronto.

Xerox Niagara Icewine Gala

Before we hit the 20 Valley Wine Festival on the weekend I was invited to the Xerox Niagara IceWine Gala which was held at Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls. Honestly it was such an amazing event. The best food I've tasted at an event in such a long time!! Well besides Madison 8 Catering haha 

They had food stations everywhere!! Sushi, Asian inspired, Seafood, Italian, cheese & meat to name a few. I'm still craving the Oysters, I think I had 20 of them! They also had an incredible dessert area with everything you can imagine! 

With all good food comes the wine and you had the best vineyards in the Niagara region all with there own booths ready for you to sample. I did more drinking than sampling I have to say! 

Thank you Kimberly & everyone at Jackson Triggs for looking after us!! 

The shrimp was to die for!! cooked fresh! 

Kind of Grapes Winner Fielding! My favorite wine of the night!

So many beautiful ice sculptures everywhere!

I loved how they used wine barrels as cruiser tables!

They had a whole area with multiple shelving units & tables filled with every dessert you can think of.

Gucci!! Gucci!!! Gucci!!!

I absolutely love Gucci & their Men's autumn/winter 2013-2104 collection which they showed in India. 

"The Gucci man expresses his inherently free spirit with bold nonchalance." Explains Gucci creative director Frida Giannini. "He returns to a sartorial tradition only to live it on his own terms - paring formal and informal as he likes. This is a contemporary gentleman with a romantic soul."

Robin's blus, winter white, orange, burn red, parsley green, ochre, black & grey with tweet and Prince of Wales checks. Mohair, leather & wool & hand embroidered tone on tone tapestry applications are some of the features in this very sexy collection!

A mix of relaxed and refined silhouettes with deconstructed feel. I also love the modern twist of traditional looks and fabrics!
