It's Raining: "HUMBRELLA" Taking The World by Storm...

I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am about what I want to share with you... [Yes, I am finally going to divulge just a bit more information about one of the other fashion shows I am presently coordinating]!

Within Essence Productions has partnered with Ottawa's own local talent; Kayan Aiken to bring you her first designer launch titled "HUMBRELLA" [I will definitely tell you more about this incredible woman in the forthcoming weeks, as we count down the opening of her amazing collection]...

We've been working with her for the past months to bring you this event that is set for the New Year [January 23rd, 2010]! Her jaw-dropping couture edge will definitely leave you shook and create a hazard that can only take the world by storm [you've heard it here first; you've been WARNED]...

With this said, don't just sit there and wait to get weathered by "the storm" !!! Grab your umbrellas and celebrate this launch with us. My good friend Marcia said it best: "if you got an itch for fashion, then I suggest you scratch it"...

...Just a little bit of "Swagg for you Savvs"

Let's lay our wittiness aside for a brief moment and perhaps touch on our own daily attire...
Considering spring is spinning off and escaping us so candidly [arrrgh the snow that fell upon us early this morning "bah" got to love nature right?!], it just hit me and I thought I'd warm you guys up with a little reminder to help you brush off the shady weather... huhuh, 'tis the season indeed!!!! Doesn't it kill you when you buy a killer pair of pumps or stilletos then go outside to find out it's either raining or snowing??? Or perhaps when you buy that nice trench coat and figure it's far too cold to wear it out? Or that nice cocktail mini you now have to save up for next summer?What about those sexy knee-high suede boots you feel like throwing out regardless of the fact you sprayed them countless times last year, the salt still managed to ruin them? etc etc.... Perhaps you're nodding because you know it hits home! Perhaps not, rather confused but my point is for those who at times feel like winter is a "swagger- hater"!![ just think of that nasty slush melting on your pants and you will see where I'm going, ha]! You and I both know how winter can easily make you lose your summer edge (i.e. make you feel like there's no point to fix yourself up or even make you lazy) but who said you couldn't have swag and be fab during "reindeer season"??? After all, it's either you got it or you don't! And if you do, why should that fade? and if you feel like you don't, what's stopping you to get on your "quick fix" momentum?? It's just a matter of knowing your body and knowing what style works for thee [will cover that issue very soon]...

With respect to this matter, I picked out the runway styles you see above because a) I felt like they exemplified that effortless, classic-chic essence of natural confidence (it's called "swag")... and (b) to encourage you to keep on staying "up to par" with that same confidence despite the season change and still allow yourself to work it out on your own with poise and posture while still keeping warm...

On this note, why juggle your appetite or compromise your natural "oumph"?!
