Montreal Fashion: Blast From The Past

I usually don’t like to start writing post this way but I think with the kind of week I’ve just had, I have to give myself the permission (if you can indulge me for a moment) to just break the rules this time around.

So forgive all the grammatical offences, the fragments and possibly overuse of punctuations but sometimes, words just can’t describe certain moments of our lives.

Last week has been one whirlwind of a week
Sleepless? Yes. Hectic? Yes.

Both very hectic and evidently, sleepless (but not in Seattle), however it has also been one hell of an exciting and profound week, in many ways. There are lows don’t get me wrong but they, in no way, supersede all the highs that came my way.

It was a period of great uncertainty as well and being a creature of comfort, you can appreciate how scary that is for me.

But all’s well that ends well as they say.

But before I tell you all about it, here’s a quick recap of last week’s highlights at Twenty York Street: 

• Twenty York Street covers Angie’s Talents and Models International (AMTI) Showcase 2012 from the red carpet and the front row. Gorgeous photos and coverage here.

• As proud partner of  PRESS THE FASHION Magazine, we’re very excited to announce the launch of their new sister magazine: PRESS The Beauty! Coming this Fall.

• Officially OUT! The first edition of The FAB COLLAB! A new feature here, in collaboration with Twenty York Street and Laura Benn, published author and owner of Acquired Taste.

Stay tuned for next post - a Twenty York Street preview of all the cool things I'm talking about.

All I can say is three things: THANN, International HGTV Star Debbie Travis and Formula 1 Grand Prix.
