Dynamite's Best Dressed Shopping Party

Right before going on vacation in November, I had the opportunity to host Dynamite's Best Dressed Shopping Party at Square One Shopping Centre. I was lucky to be chosen as one of 15 bloggers across Canada to collaborate with; it was so fun dressing up for an evening and shopping with friends and fans!

Listed from top to bottom, left to right:

1. Recently attended Designher Kit's launch party; an amazing DIY jewelry-making monthly subscription kit. I was surprised at how easy it was to make a cute spiked bracelet. Check out their Indiegogo campaign!
2. Got to hang out with Jenny (Crazy Style Love), Elaine (Toronto Beauty Reviews - she was also the co-host), Dara (Designher Co), and Rica (The Office Chic) at the Designher Kit launch party.
3. Lately I've been having easy-going and relaxing weekends with close friends - dinner, drinks and playing cards!
4. The chocolate brownie at Canyon Creek is AMAZING. It was devoured quickly by four people.
5. So excited to partner with Folgers for the #FolgersMorningTour campaign! Read all about it here.
6. Folgers recently introduced the Mocha Swirl K-Cup packs and it's delightful. I love the combination of coffee and chocolate, so I had no doubt it would be a good mix.
7. Hosted a fabulous shopping party with Dynamite at Square One last Thursday. More details to come on the blog, but you can read the invite here.
8. More photos of the Dynamite shopping party! It was amazing seeing some of my followers and friends. :)

The upcoming weeks are absolutely insane and exciting at the same time! Stay in the loop through Instagram and Twitter.

This season has been bittersweet so far. Even though it's been pretty chilly for the past couple of weeks, for the most part we had a really nice, mild autumn. I'm a total advocate of dresses (even in the winter) so I'm really not complaining about the weather too much. Typically I'll throw on pair of tights or a scarf to stay warm no matter what.

Grey isn't always the happiest of colours, so I wanted to wear this dress with contrasting accessories. The burgundy boots complement my bracelets, and the bright brown bag adds brightness to the look. All of these fall colours together have created this rustic feel and I just love it!

I'm so happy I've got to work with Dynamite for the past few weeks - I've been a fan of their clothing since high school and it's still the one store I absolutely have to stop at before leaving the mall. Last week they just introduced online shopping; as dangerous as this is for my wallet, it makes me super happy at the same time.

To celebrate, Dynamite is having a shopping party on Thursday, November 7 in stores across Canada. The objective is to enjoy 25% off your purchase, be gifted with free items and spend some quality time shopping and mingling with fashion bloggers. I'll be stopping by at Square One Shopping Mall from 6:30-9 p.m., JOIN ME! I would absolutely love to meet and hang out with you if you're in the area.

You can follow the #DynamiteBestDressed through that hashtag, as well as Dynamite's official Twitter and Instagram. If you can't make it to Square One, I will also be sharing tidbits of the evening on social media as well.

Hope to see you there! xo
