A Virgin…Mobile party. Solid – an abundance of red, non-virginesque images, fashion integration (engaging local designers to create themed dresses that were master pieces), logo image pillows, hilarious tag lines, hipster dance parties, and of course, Jay Sean. All in all, the Virgin Mobile event at the Berkeley Church (Queen East) was an absolutely stunning good time. All they really needed to sell me were the fancy pillows rather than the fancy drinks (though the Blackberry themed one wasn’t half bad). Enjoyed the scantily clad girls AND boys, alongside the …

 
Cloud 9 Cloud 9 Cloud 9. It’s a play name that’s been spinning in this one’s head for a bit. That alongside an ultimate misread – how was I to know that a play about sexuality wouldn’t have a more fitting name than “A comedy of multiple organisms”. You’d be jaded not to know what the misread would have been. Off to see this play today at the Panasonic Theatre Box Office. Lovely times to ensue – will let you know how it is. Admittedly, I haven’t attended a play …

 
Noice – a blog / magazine playing host to an event, something that holds true to my heart. Happy Boxing Day with Format Magazine with up to 85% off streetwear oriented collections. Go, if only for the support of the Santa wearing 10deep.

 
Swapify Your Wardrobe happened a week ago at Proper Reserve on Queen. Goodies on the table, threads on the hangers, bags on the shelves, and Cazz shoes for sale made for a really great backdrop for the swap. I love the eco-friendly factor and the excuse for social gathering with some amazing girls. As for the actual swappage? I went home with a romper, two pairs of boots, a purse, jeans in an amazing wash, shirts, and loads of sweets (thanks to Carolyn and Wynne for baking!)

I’ve had some people up and around online that have wanted to put together a clothing swap, so here it is! Swapify Your Clothes – bring a bag or so of pieces that you know someone else will love. I know for myself, I’ve had a lot of issues with piling up clothes that I’ve worn once or twice (or sometimes even still have the tags) that could use a little swapping.
 
Proper Reserve is a new store in town that has so kindly offered up their space (holler!) for the …

 
Today’s the day of Phoenix! Going to see them at the Sound Academy tonight, which should be pretty fantastic (check 1901 above). Sorry for being mildly missing lately, I’ve been using this week to do what I haven’t done in eons: do nothing. And do it well.
 
Planning to pick up a point and shoot that will allow me to do HD quality vlogs (awww yeah). So you’ll be seeing more of that sweet urbanebloc stop motion intro. Cause you know you want to.
 
Also just want to say hi to the …

 
Blossom Lounge is one of my favourite hidden treasures (which I think, as a byproduct of all this talk of this store, is slowly becoming less hidden), tucked away in beautiful Mainstreet Unionville. Even moreso a favourite because of the always amazing and sweethearted owner of the boutique. This Saturday they’re having their Annual Winter Frost Shopping Event, where regular priced items are 25%, there’ll be $20, $30, and $40 sale racks, as well as $5-$20 sale baskets. All hearts – forget big pop up shops (you know what I’m …

Familiar names galore, paired with a great venue and even greater cause. The R4 Fashion Event groups together up and comers in local Toronto Fashion, to promote eco-fashion lines (that surely don’t leave style behind). Names like TFI (Toronto Fashion Incubator), Kelly Drennan (Fashion Takes Action – I was introduced to the concept by miss Ada), Gail McInnes (The Style Box), Candice Batista (ecocandy on Twitter), the F List, and of course, Waterloo – are a sure pull.

I met the Isle of Thieves when I tagged along with The Eatons (who by the way, have some new music mucho on the way, and it’s sounding good), and they’re a bunch of fun folk (to share friends with too – portions are huge in Oshawa. Holler). Lo and behold they’re playing a free show on December 5, 2009, at the famed Mod Club (722 College Street in Toronto). Come by, enjoy some music, and have some good times with them!
