Project Las Vegas, held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Centre,  is a mega trade show or fashion event rather, featuring some of the world’s most advanced contemporary fashions. Project LV is taking place this year from Feb 13-Feb 15 and I’m on deck with the Blogger Project, curated by Marcus Troy, covering the 3 day show on my blog, twitter, Instagram. I spent day one running around, getting acquainted, snapping photos and catching up with my fashion peers, and finally got a chance to catch up on some much needed blogging.

Check out some highlights from Day 1 and keep up with me on Twitter or Instagram for updates.

Two of my favourite Canadian boys Marcus Troy x Matt George (Ransom, Nomad, Adidas, Stussy Canada, Goodnight Bar)

Pharrell made his rounds and stopped by his Billionaire Boys Club booth.

Sandbox Studios (based out of New York) has an awesome photo studio set up where brands can either shoot a looks for a look book or attendees can take some fun photos, which they print on the spot and take with them. The photos can also be downloaded online via a username and password. Sandbox Studios is based out of New York and provides a full service or a-la-cart that produces visual content from one to thousands of photos. Be sure to stop by the booth and have a papparazzi moment.

Stopped by the Nobis booth to catch up with my old friend JD. Being that I’m Canadian, I’m too familiar with Nobis outerwear, which is based out of Canada and focuses on providing high quality outwear, both fashionable and functional, inspired by a combination of military classics, 60′s Olympics/retro ski-wear, the Native Canadian and the Nomadic world traveler.

Why dish out $2000 for Balenciaga or $5000 for a Chanel flap when you can get one of these fun, thrifty little totes by Thursday Friday? Thursday Friday is an LA based brand created by Roni Brunn and Olena Sholomytska. The Balenciaga version pictured above retail for $65 but are also available in a myriad of iconic bags including Chanel, Miu Miu and more.

Visited my girl Jess at the Native booth. Native Shoes is yet another Canadian based brand that is inspired by classic, casual silhouettes, but made with the lightest and most comfortable material available.

Bumped into my boy Scott Hase from Under Two Flags (previously of LRG). Stay tuned for more Project LV updates soon.

This is the only place you’ll want to be on Halloween this year, right after the JayZ Concert. Ransom by Adidas is launching Fall 09 hosted by JayZ’s Tour DJ Neil Armstrong and a very special guest appearance, making this the ‘Official JayZ Concert After Party’.

I had the pleasure of throwing the JayZ & Mary J. Blige Tribute Party last year with DJ Neil Armstrong (on my old Tuesday nights at Reign) and I’m excited to party with him again, and of course re-unite with my favorite boys from Ransom. The party takes place at Marben, located at 488 Wellington St. You definitely won’t want to miss this one! Hit me up for VIP bottle service. Space is limited, so be sure to get there nice and early. It will be a sellout!!

NOTE: The blog is not quite back to normal so please be patient while we continue to work on fixing all the links and photos. I promise to update everyone soon, then regular blogging will commence, more fabulous than ever!!! I can’t wait to be back…xoxo

Thanks to everyone that came out to support the UNITED FRONT XMAS PARTY last Thursday night @ REIGN! Matt G was working in LA, but he was there in spirit and for the million people that asked me where  Winny was, she got stuck working…If only I had a dollar for every time someone asked me “Where’s Winny?”, I would be a billionaire! Thanks to DJ Lissa Monet for saving the day with the hot tunes and getting everyone in the holiday spirit and Photowill for the million flicks!
