This was the cosmetic case giveaway — thank you to everyone who entered.

Another place to find Plum Tree Weddings is on Pinterest. I highly recommend following her boards, the images are stunning.

Cassie Dee

I have some photos to share of a recent collaboration that is underway with  Cassie Dee and Christine Adela White.  Cassie is a Vancouver  designer who was one of 5 selected fashion designers in the Mercedez Benz start up show in Toronto this past October. Part of her line includes bridesmaid dresses, as modelled by Christine who is in the running for Miss Universe 2012. These are some shots that we took together last week.

Cassie’s bridesmaid dresses are individually made and the one shown below can be tied various ways around the neck. On her blog, Cassie shows her process behind draping several new dresses that will be soon be available.

More information about Christine‘s run for Miss Universe 2012 is available on her Facebook page and website. In May she’ll be off to Toronto to compete for the place of Canadian representative.

Want to see more about Cassie’s spring 2012 collection? Here’s a link to a story about her on Front Row Mag.

Local-E Pop Up Shop

This Sunday wraps up the end of Local-E Pop Up Shop in Gastown, Vancouver. Curated by Lexi of Daub + Design, this shop carries an assortment of locally made jewellery, swim wear, clothing, baby goods and handbags.

The shop is located on Cambie St, between West Cordova and Water St. All designers work shifts in the shop so it’s always a surprise who you’re going to meet. A few of the clothing designers had booths at the One of a Kind Vancouver Show which was last weekend so now they have more stock in store. Last Friday night we hosted a customer appreciation night and 24 Hours Vancouver stopped by — as you can see in the Dec.13th edition below:

The Store hours are 11am – 7pm daily — until Sunday December.18th, when the pop up shop finishes.
