Last night we hosted a shopping event at West Elm in Toronto’s Liberty Village and it was a huge success! So many fabulous people came out for an evening of shopping, music, cocktails and eats {you guys went nuts for the frites!}.
If you happened to see a tall blonde dressed all in black, sneakily snapping pictures of people when they weren’t looking, well, that was me. I’m so glad I got to meet and chat with some of you, and it was great to speak face-to-face with people that I chat to on Twitter and Facebook.
Below are a few of the snaps I took during the event — can’t wait for the next one!
One of the bar areas at West Elm {thanks to all employees for their hard work!}
The dreamy bedroom space set up by design editor Christine Hanlon
Some of the lovely guests at the event
Had to sneak this in -- I love this little buddy!
Senior design editor Margot Austin tidying up the living room space she created {she also gets my vote for best-dressed of the night!}
All the pretty party people
So beautiful -- a place setting on the wintry white tabletop that editor-in-chief Erin McLaughlin styled
Two of our faves -- Margot and Pure Design darling Samantha Pynn
The line-up that wrapped around the store -- we love you dedicated shoppers for waiting in that crazy queue!
Fab five -- managing editor Tamara Robbins-Griffith, senior design editor Margot Austin, design editor Christine Hanlon, editor-in-chief Erin McLaughlin and contributing design editor Samantha Pynn
Thanks again to all who came out and to the fantastic staff at West Elm for all their hard work. Hope to see you again soon!
