Minling Pan Studio's Product Launch Party

Back in January I had the chance to check out Minling Pan Studio in Toronto, and loved it. Now it's April and Minling is celebrating her 1-year anniversary of the studio in a very special way.

On Monday, May 6, Minling Pan Studio and Charming Media will be hosting a Fashion Show and Product Launch Party for their new collection of handbags called MIN at the Arta Gallery in the Distillery District.

I'm excited to share that I will be walking the runway (as a model!) for Minling Pan Studio's Fashion Show along with five other Toronto fashion ladies Nicole (Dainty Girl), Elaine (Toronto Beauty Reviews), Brittany + Maleah (Sparks Twins) and Bianca!

The media event in January was a lot of fun with a creative set-up including a photobooth, so I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store for us this time.

Hope you all can make it! RSVP by e-mail to get on the list. For all my readers and friends who aren't in Toronto, stay tuned for photos and a recap of the event.

If you haven't been to Minling Pan Studio (also known as Shining Image) in Toronto yet, I highly recommend checking it out. Founded by Minling Pan, this boutique has everything you could ever want or need including clothes, jewelry, evening clutches, everyday handbags, as well as a unique selection of nail polishes!

I had the opportunity to visit the store last week when Valerie Stachurski of Charming Media invited me to an exclusive shopping party, where I tried really hard not to indulge in everything! I had to keep reminding myself that I'm still on a spending budget, but I will definitely be going back for items to add to my Spring wardrobe. (Who wants to go with meee?)


Minling is a professional colour, style and wardrobe consultant. While we were exploring the studio and shopping, she did personal one-on-one consultations with attendees and helped identify what sort of items and colours look good on them. Apparently I'm doing something right, because she said my pink blazer-cardi complemented my skin-tone perfectly. I was flattered!


Most of my evening was spent chit-chatting with other girls, munching on delicious fruits and veggies (with chocolate… YUM), and looking at beautiful statement necklaces and unique dresses.

Here are some photos from the evening:

 

Some of the items in the store to give you an idea of what Minling's style is like; those statement necklaces are to-die-for.

 

Here I am with Minling! She is adorable.

 

Hanging out with Valerie - thanks for organizing a lovely shopping event!

 

It's always great catching up with Nicole and Bianca.

 

 Beauty bloggers Elaine and Stephanie were also present. (Love this photo!)

 

After non-stop tweeting with JJ Cowen for weeks, we finally got to meet.

 

Obligatory photo with Grace (so adorable) and my lovely date from the evening, Ria!

 

Again, I was really happy to see fruits and vegetables among other appetizers like macarons, wine and sparkling water.

By the way, did I mention there was a Photo Booth on-sight, handmade by Minling?!

 

So, this had to happen! Love.
