Manicures with Essie!

We teamed up with Essie Canada to check out what they were doing backstage during Toronto Fashion Week... we were totally blown away! The nails were all inspired by runway looks (our fav!) We have an obsession with nail art and are always on the lookout for the coolest nails around! So when Essie asked us if they could give us manicure's backstage all during the week, how could we say no? We love Rita Remark who is Essie's lead nail artist. She is so much fun! We met her on our way to New York Fashion Week (waiting for the airplane) because she was heading down to do all the model's nails for top runway shows in NY! We totally hit it off and here are the gorgeous manicures we got!

Manicure one is blue tie dye smudge for (Laura Siegel's runway show) Essie Polish used: Midnight Cami, Lapiz of Luxury, Blanc, Top Coat (No chips ahead)

CALLA Backstage- SPRING 2014 Collection

CALLA kicked off Toronto Fashion week by showing at The Show's with her California Girl Chic Collection for Spring 2014. We were backstage getting a sneak peek of all the models having fun and getting ready for her show. Calla is our awesome long time friend and we are HUGE fans of hers! Even our parents joined us at the show. Her collection was filled with gorgeous tweeds, 80's neon bathing suits with big zippers and girly dresses. We are Calla junkies! Our amazing videographer Jose Martinez (who did our NY fashion week videos) was in from NY, and did a video from CALLA'S runway show below!  photo IMG_2464a_zps3d5fb66a.jpg  photo IMG_1863_zps1276af3f.jpg  photo IMG_2418_zps16df9bb5.jpg  photo IMG_2457_zpsba66743a.jpg  photo photoaaa_zpseadf97b6.jpg  photo IMG_1788_zpsc82b1697.jpg  photo IMG_1794_zps892ea399.jpg  photo IMG_1816_zps4e7a4377.jpg  photo IMG_2375_zpsf5c40cc7.jpg  photo IMG_2432_zps9c6941e1.jpg  photo IMG_1834_zpsca29aadf.jpg  photo IMG_2483_edited-1_zpsc4a1dcbb.jpg  photo CANB1203_zps8c536b6a.jpg  photo IMG_2473_zps5c9a8944.jpg  photo IMG_2505_zpscb5e6205.jpg  photo IMG_2456_zps1837eedf.jpg Pin It Now!
