Dance, raise money and enjoy the show!

Hello Ottawa!

Sorry it’s been a while since I posted on here! Exciting things have been happening at BHBB and I’ve been up to my eyeballs in website proofs, feature ideas and a lot of midnight work sessions. Soon, you will see a brand new logo and an amazing new website where you will be able to click and get regular health, beauty, food and fashion tips from your very own city. Also, you’ll be able to get involved and comment on features.

But don’t threat, BHBB Blog is back. I really want to start using this more for telling you about events that are happening in the community and this is a great one to start off with.

DRIVEN for the Breath of Life

This amazing hip hop dance show is being held on Sunday, July 10, at 2:30 - 4:30 p.m. at Andrew Haydon Park (3169 Carling Ave) in aid of Cystic Fibrosis Canada.

It is a free show, but donation boxes will be around so please do donate whatever you can for such a great cause. Remember every single penny counts!

This is not an event where just some goes to charity, 100% of the money we raise will be going to Cystic Fibrosis Canada. And why? This charity is very near and dear to the heart of the organizer Andrea Joinette as her younger sister, Emilie, passed away in December 2009 after her fight with Cystic Fibrosis. Andrea describes her sister as having a “happy go lucky nature was contagious which is why she was loved by so many” and she says that Emilie inspired her to be all that she can be and live life to the fullest! 

So, go along and watch an amazing crew of young dancers and donate to a great cause!

The event: DRIVEN for the Breath of Life is to help raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis Canada. You can make a donation online or in person at the event on Sunday July 10th from 2:30 - 4:30 p.m. at Andrew Haydon Park (3169 Carling Ave).  This event will happen come rain or shine!

Tea, fashion and Royal wedding gossip!

The Royal wedding is nearly here and we're excited at BHBB! We can't wait to see Kate's dress and all the fabulous hats that the ladies will be wearing.

Being from England myself, I love a spot of tea, or as we say, a good cuppa! We heard about  this amazing "Royal ParTea" event being held in in aid of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation and just had to tell you about it!

If you love talking fashion then you can't miss out on the talk from Jeanne Beker!

That's not it, there's yummy food and a gift bag which is to die for!

Go on a have a sip of tea and join in the wedding fun.

Ottawa Fashion Week - Some of our Saturday highlights!

Ottawa Fashion Week is over for another season and myself and Ms. Kate checked out some shows.

What did we get from the Saturday show? A fabulous mix of sparkle, turban chic, faux fur, big hair, fitted dresses and feathered fun! And inhale... that's a lot in one night ey?

Faux funkiness!
ElizBourk rocked the runway with her collection showcasing some fabulous faux fur, just perfect for the Ottawa winter! This big hat is a great statement piece that we would love to add to our wardrobe during the snowy month.


 

We also picked up on some fabulous details like the leopard print wrap and the faux fox tail attached to the belt.


 






I'm a lady
The collection from Serendipity by Kelsey McIntyre was all about ladylike fabrics and cuts, and the big hair caught our eye! Girls put down the straighteners and add some curls. Also, check out the cute feathered earrings. Perfect for adding some details without being to much of a statement.


We loved this fabulous fitted black dress. The feathered shoulder detail is simply stunning. Definitely a new look to the LBD.

 It's turban time
Emily Woudenberg & Anastasiya Kuyevda went for fabulous turbans for their models and they looked fabulous. With loose plates and natural make-up, this added the perfect touch to the collection.

Sparkle and Shine
We loved Rachel Sin's collection! Her cuts were beautiful and so lady like. I loved the sparkle. It is great to see shine in a fall/winter collection. I feel in love with the gold blazer. Just perfect for that extra layer you need in the fall.




We had a fabulous time checking out designers. Hopefully you've picked up a few ideas for your wardrobe. I will be adding some funky details to update mine.

A little note: All photos in this blog were taken by Kate Headley (you know her a the fabulous Ms. Kate).

Bye for now,
