Fashion designers, pizza intervention & jewellery

Posted on 17:46 by kumar
I'm not doing Fashion Week in Toronto so here's my tribute to designers:

Ok
, it's time for me to do a pizza intervention. See, I've been eating pizza (frozen or on my way home from 2 for 1, ak) for dinner since January because I've been working manic hours. No excuse, I know I know. But spring is coming and it's time to change my lazy pizza-loving way. PLUS I'm going to a Michael Kors/Fashion Magazine cocktail party in LESS than a week and I MUST look fabulous in my consignment-shopped Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress I found the other day at Extoggery in Toronto!!

I won't post a pic of it on my body form - will try to get a pic of me the night of the event!!

In anticipation of the event I ate a Greek salad and organic date & walnut crackers by Margaret's Artisan Bakery (yum yum) for din din tonight. Here's hoping I can squish into the dress and look fab while hob-knobbing with Michael Kors!

Speaking of designers I interviewed Franco Mirabelli today http://www.mirabelli.com/
and boy, is he the sweetest most funny and most real designer I've met in a while. Stay tuned as I'll post the article soon!

BTW the brooch I showed yesterday is also a pendant (cool!) - it has a butterfly logo on the back --- not so easy to see here. Anyone know who the maker or designer is?
