I felt a little glimmer of girlish excitement upon receiving an invitation to the Ottawa launch of Halston Heritage, the clothing line for which Sarah Jessica Parker is Artistic Advisor. If you’re a fan of Sex and the City, you may have seen SJP donning one of these gorgeously flowing outfits in one of the recent films. I told my friend Marissa about the invitation and she was so excited about the soiree (not to mention the potential for an SJP sighting…) that I knew she would be the perfect date for this show.
The following is a brief photo diary of the event. Enjoy!
Marissa and I chose the perfect outfits for the event. Also, enjoying our complimentary cosmos!
Local A-list fashionistas attended the event, including Girl About O-Town from the Ottawa blogging community. It was so nice to finally meet her, as I have been following her fashion/culture blog for some time.
Another celeb sighting: Tony Martins of Guerilla Magazine
Four glam models take the stage to show off Halston's new fashions
Especially glam
Then I dragged Marissa into the dressing rooms to take photos of me in various outfits. In this dress, I felt like the mistress of a brothel in some exotic locale. Meow.
I've always thought of myself as more of a silver girl, but I rather enjoyed this pocketed gold number with the popped collar.
Um, no.
We finished off my little vanity session with this daring pink number. I know, isn't my posing totally obnoxious?
And then there were the shoes; never forget the shoes.
Call me old-fashioned, but I like the flower print dress best.
Can you believe I got to this page via Twitter (which was via Ottawastart.com)? Ah, the Intraweb…
Congratulations on the flute. I look forward to hearing some killer jazz flute at the Ottawa Fringe open stage (assuming there is one this year.)
Thanks, Jan, me too. I bought the flower print dress in Bristol a couple of weeks ago. The other outfits were fun, but not really my style.
I love the new format of http://ottawastart.com/. Very hip and accessible — not to mention a nice Twitter feed right down the middle.
I think I’ve conquered Amazing Grace on the flute; onwards!
Just wanted to add that I am in awe of your mad texting skillz (assuming you typed your reply on a hand-held device.)
Suddenly, my desktop computer seems prehistoric.
Wish I could accept the praise: I’m working on my laptop at the moment. My texting skillz need some improvement.
Red – sophisticated and sultry!
Pink – absolutely devine!
Green – the deep shade of my envy!
Right, Nadine, like you don’t have dozens of equally awesome dresses.
It was lovely seeing you at the Great Glebe Garage Sale today! Hope you can bring A. for face painting tomorrow.
Just catching up now on my Ottawa blog reading, and wow am I ever behind. Great photos of the event & thanks so much for the shout out!
Oh. And my vote defnitiely goes to the slinky, silky v-neck dress. Va-va-va-voom!
No problem! It was so great to finally meet you in person. Orange is an amazing colour; I think I’ll have to wear it more often.
