I mentioned in an earlier post that I wore a Guess by Marciano dress to the JK Models 1 Year Anniversary Party at Leone that had a marvelous back to it. Well here it is! Photos by Christine McAvoy!

If you’re in the Twitter loop of the Vancouver fashion-savvy, you know that Wednesday night’s event at Leone for the JK Models 1 Year Anniversary party was a fabulous bash! The guests were an eclectic mix of designers, bloggers, photographers, journalists and socialites who sipped on Grand Marnier cocktails and enjoyed the Pixstar photo booth and She to Shic Beauty Lounge full-service manicure station! The event, which was brought together by the most organized, thorough and fabulous fashion professional, The Urban Stylist, a.k.a. Katie Mogan, featured two fashion shows and ample time to socialize with old and new connections. The first show featured clothing from Leone’s edgy downstair’s boutique, L2 and the second featured clothes from the upstairs show rooms. Looking for a little designer in your life? Go to Leone. They have such a beautiful collection of designers. Don’t even get me started on the shoes… Let’s just say their shoe collection is a must-see for every shoe loving gal out there. (I know us ladies never need an excuse for a new pair of heels, but Sex and the City 2 will be here soon! What will your feet be wearing?? Something ravishing, I hope!) Others who must be mentioned are A Moveable Feast Catering company who provided the guests with the most delicious bites and of course the team from Avant Garde Hair Studio for providing full hair and make up. I quite liked how there was a dramatic change in hair and make up between the two fashion shows, the first being a little more casual and the second being sexy and dramatic! I’ve been lucky enough to be in the hands of Avant Garde‘s brilliant and always stylish Jon Paul, and the man knows how to work the hair!
Below are some of my quick-pics from the night, but I hope you’ll follow this link: JK Models Event @ LEONE pics to see all the beautiful photography from the evening by photographer Peter Jensen.
JK Models do double duty, these two models also manned the door, and did a wonderful job.

Hosts of the night: Kirk Renard and Erin Ireland of FMA. These two were the best hosts you could ask for, funny, witty and charming, not to mention great to work with!
Model Sunny again looking gorgeous, check out those Prada mesh and lucite heels! (I’m the lucky girl who got to tape the bottoms of the shoes, meaning, I got to hold these beauties, try them on no, but just to have them in my hands was enough for me!)
With Katie Mogan, The Urban Stylist! Need an event put together, this is your woman. Seriously impressive! (I’m wearing a Guess dress, too bad I didn’t get a shot of the back, it was all cut outs and skin, one of my favourite quotes of the night, “Olivia, your dress is like the new mullet! Business in the front, party in the back!” Yep, I’ll take that! : ) and heels by Luichiny.)

This past Wednesday night was the JK Models 1-Year Anniversary party at Leone. Jennifer Koning, the Director of JK Models, got me involved about three months ago when she needed someone to cover her PR needs. I’m happy to say the party was a wonderful success and also rather fabulous! Thank you to everyone who came!
These bags hold boxes of designer shoes, shoes that make my rent look cheap! Among other things, I was responsible for taping the bottoms of the shoes. I didn’t mind, it meant getting close and personal with $1200 Dior strappy sandals.

That’s what a young woman said to me as I marched down the street in my red suede buckled ankle boots. Why thank you stranger on the side walk, I did feel very fierce! Sadly I had to leave my DSLR at home last night, it might’ve been a bit creepy to take that big hunker of a camera on a date, so my little point-and-shoot had to do. (Hence why the photo isn’t so sharp). My date outfit last night:
Top: Outside of the fabulous Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel, Bottom: Standing between the two convention centres, but more important than the view is my snakeskin Pierre Cardin purse, obviously. Wearing: White blouse from I don’t know where, I got it years ago, H&M leather skirt, vintage purse and red suede boots found at Winners.
My first time dining at the posh new hotel! We had a drink in the Lobby Lounge, I had a cosmo and it was seriously the best cosmo I’ve ever had, and then went upstairs to Oru for dinner. Mmm the Korean short rib dish, just delicious. (T Hump: you get serious date cred). Then off for a walk through Gastown over to Chinatown to visit the Keefer. I’ve heard so much about it but hadn’t been yet. And yep, I walked the whole way in those boots! A note about the Keefer, great drinks and great atmosphere, but don’t go on a Tuesday night, we were the only people in the place. I suspect they are very busy on the weekends though.
That’s it for now dear readers, til later today when I come up with more thoughts for you!
