LADIESFUND®

By T. U. Dawood

DelectablyChic! is excited to present its 3^rd Annual Summer Bridal feature, this time a four part series on Wedding Prep, Make Up & Beauty Must-Haves for the 2012 Summer Bride, The Wedding Day, as well as Wedding Related Ideas.

We begin with Wedding Prep.

Once the engagement ring is on, the official Wedding Prep begins including wedding etiquette:

Something New

There are some fantastic books on wedding etiquette.  We recommend Something New: Wedding Etiquette for Rule Breakers, Traditionalists, and Everyone in Between by Elise Mac Adam, which is a very modern, relevant handbook to ensure your guests feel comfortable, even in the stickiest of situations.

C.R. Gibson Wedding Planner, Now & Forever

Even if you decide to go with a wedding planner, it can be handy to have your own Wedding Planner book full of checklists and we simply love the Now & Forever Wedding Planner book by C.R. Gibson.  If you are planning your own wedding, this is a fantastic guidebook full of worksheets to keep the bride organized and on schedule, invaluable tips, as well as room to record everything from the guest list to the bridal registry.

My Fair Wedding

Once you know your wedding etiquette inside out and are completely organized by your planner, it’s time to think of those how to add an extra oomph.  Check out David Tutera’s My Fair Wedding: Finding Your Vision . . . Through His Revisions! which highlights how a little tweaking can make your wedding much more special and memorable.  The book has examples of common or traditional ways of doing things and then has David’s innovative revisions which add that certain flair or panache to the same element of the wedding.  This book and its inspired ideas are for that bride who wants that certain something extra.

While the wedding organization is critical, it is even more important for the bride to look radiant on her special day.  Hence, the other really critical wedding prep that should be begun immediately is ensuring the bride is healthy, glowing and looking her best.

Brides have traditionally taken time off to be pampered, massaged and well rested.  However, even modern, busy brides can still look their best with a few insider beauty tricks.

For the Face:

Vasanti’s Detox Nutrient-Rich Purifying Facial Cleanser feels like heaven on your face and almost like a nightly mini-spa treatment.  Although you can start using this anytime, we recommend at least one month before your big day to ensure a natural bridal glow.

If you want a more intense facial cleansing and plumping, consider a Silkpeel Dermalinfusion facial by trained Esthetician Rose Cruz at Ivory Salon & Spa.  This is a more advanced technique than microdermabrasion and is said to work wonders with acne and sun damage by intensely hydrating the skin and stimulating the growth of new healthy cells.

For the Hair:

For your hair, try Salon La Coupe Volume, Moisture or Curl Refresh dry shampoo.  We recommend using this shampoo at least two months prior to your wedding day to ensure your locks will be in tip-top shape.

Or, if you want to lighten your hair naturally, LUSH Cosmetics’ BIG shampoo is quite an industry secret.  Made of seasalt and citrus, it breaks down henna and not only adds volume (hence the name) but gives your hair a sunkissed look with a killer bounce.  It’s very potent stuff, however, so you should be careful not to use it more than once a week, particularly if you have baby fine hair.

For Overall Relaxation:

For overall relaxation, try LUSH Cosmetics’ Relax, Take a Bath trio of stress-relievers.  Indulge in a hot, steaming bath fragranced with lavender and chamomile in the three different bath products – a Waving Not Drowning bath bomb, Bathos bubble bar and Dreamtime bath melt.  Use them one a week for the three weeks leading up to your special day, or indulge in one a day for the last three days prior to your wedding.

M∙A∙C has come out with two new fabulous collections - Beth Ditto and Casual Colour - that are definitely worth talking about.

Beth Ditto is a singer-songwriter formerly of the group Gossip.

Beth Ditto

Her 24-piece collection for M∙A∙C is fierce, provocative and colourful, reflecting her soft candy gloss side as well as her passion for punk.

Beth Ditto Collection

Powder to the People is the piece de resistance of this collection.  This playful pressed powder has polka dot bits that you can experiment with to create highlighting effects by blending on your eyes, or you can simply use this as a multi-tone powder for your face to give a smooth finish.

Powder to the People

Other highlights include Life and Beth nail laquer and Blue Charge zoom mascara.

Life and Beth

Blue Charge Zoom Mascara

The nail polish is a special high gloss formula made with conditioners and UV protection.  It glides on very smoothly and the shade really flatters nails.  The mascara truly packs a punch and reflect Beth’s playful personality.  The blue shade is very flattering and coats in one stroke.

Next is the M∙A∙C 17 piece Casual Color Collection where the highlight is the Lip & Cheek Colour.

Casual Colour Collection

Casual Colour Lip & Cheek Colour

Keep it Casual was my favourite because it had a deep, sexy pink shade (officially called warm wine) that really brought great colour to my lips and cheeks.

Keep it Casual

If you prefer a more paler or subtle look, Lazy Sunday (a baby pink) and Have a Lovely Day! (neutral nude) are ideal.

These two-in-ones apply very smoothly with a sheen finish.  Absolutely love.

Massoud Abbasi

Massoud Abbasi is convinced that Toronto has what it takes to be the next “it” international city.  And, he’s happy to trailblaze the way, particularly on the party scene.  His Omega Group New York-London-Paris style events are really standing out in a city that prides itself on being a “kinder, gentler” New York.  Omega Group soirees get happening at 11:30 pm (although they officially start at 8 pm) and go on easily til 2 am, with much of the crowd poring in after midnight.

Partygoers at Summer Soiree

“We’re providing a social platform for sophisticated Torontonians to professionally network and meet like-minded individuals,” stated Abbasi, “We want to bring the sophistication of big cities like London and New York to Toronto and create a community and encourage camaraderie among members in refined settings.”

Berkeley Church

The recent summer soiree, held at Berkeley Church, was another great success, attracting over 600 of Toronto’s hip and happening crowd, particularly professionals and those with global connections, heritage or businesses.  Many of these jetsetters recently moved to Toronto from New York or Europe and are quite restless and Omega Group events are like a mecca for them.

Paul Pedersen T U Dawood Pallavi Valabji & Lasana Burrows

The poets, philosophers and party-goers enjoyed the unique set-up, the cocktails and the free-flowing Perrier and Purdy’s Chocolate.  The venue lacked the opulence of The Carlu, but as the evening wore on, was ideal for a clubbing vibe and definitely had its own charm.  Although DJ Lissa Monet played a new remix of Beyonce’s classic commitment cheer Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), this party was a sign of the times with the mostly single and ready to mingle crowd full of free spirits and Call Me, Maybe girls in summer dresses.

The guests may have been uber busy professionals and entrepreneurs by day, but at the event, were able to let loose and socialize and network in a relaxed yet sophisticated way.

Divas in the City returns for its 3^rd year and is simply getting better and better.  The mission of this event is to “to educate, inspire and connect the new demographic of young, independent, ambitious women in our city.”

Laura Furtado & Nikki Bergen

Laura Furtado, founder of DivaGirlFitness describes Divas in the City as “a socially driven, goal-directed event that will feature experts in various areas that are essential to the urban girl lifestyle – beauty, relationships, finance, career, fashion, nutrition and fitness.”  Her co-founder of this event is Nikki Bergen, founder of The Belle Method, an exercise program for women.

Melyssa Moniz

This year’s speakers included Katia Millar (Positive Fabulous Women), Wendy Crystal (Inspired Cosmetics), Kimberly Moffit (Kimberly Moffit & Associates), Florence (Flo) Grunfelder (Money With Flo), Hannah Yakobi (FAJO Magazine), Angela McNally (Eating Pretty) and Sandra O’Brien (Goddess Creation formerly Bootcamp Goddess).  Most of the speakers were animated and did a fabulous job of keeping the audience engaged and conveying very usual ideas and tips from their various fields.  Particular highlights include Networking Ninja Katia Millar, Relationship Guru Kimberly Moffit and Fashionista Journalist Hannah Yakobi.

A bit of shopping at the hula hoop booth

Katia mesmerized the crowd with her authenticity and effortless ability to make connections and network.  She explained the importance of a personal brand and how the first step was identifying, knowing and embracing your core values, what she eloquently described as your “secret sauce” that is special and different from everyone else in the world.  She spoke about the importance of getting into the flow of conversations and shared that the net was a powerful networking tool for introverts.

Kimberly Moffit, a true dynamo, was also very effective.  She shared her Top 5 tips for having it all, which include 1) setting goals, 2)  Be honest with yourself and your partner about your ambitions 3) Finding a partner who supports you in all your ideas and goals (a good relationship should make u soar) 4) Never apologize for your success; instead own it, let yourself feel it; it’s the most rewarding feeling in the world; and 5) Thinking effortlessly. If want to live an effortless life, you must think effortlessly.  Ms. Moffit also informed the audience of a Harvard study that discovered that only 2% of people set goals and write them down, but those 2% of people control the majority of wealth.

Tamika Auwai

Hannah Yakobi really gave a useful talk where she went through current trends including classic shapes, structured jackets and bright colours (neon orange royal blue yellow pumpkin especially for dresses).  She informed that runways showcased conservative necklaces but uber daring slits, flowing fabrics showing serious leg, floral patterns, thin to medium sized belts, lots of head wear and 80s inspired suits.

It’s June 17^th and the question on everyone’s minds is “what’s hot for Dads?”

In fact, even literary icon Margaret Thatcher just tweeted, “Happy Fathers’ Day! (Tie: too 50s? Knife set? Golf item? Vinyl LP? BBQ accessory? Case of Moosehead? Trip to Mars? What’s hot for dads?).

Whether it’s for the man who has always spoiled you or the father of your children, here’s our annual guide to how to great last minute gifts for his special day.

For the Tech Guy:

Get your Dad the Canon EOS 60Da.  The shots taken with this tech gizmo are simply mesmerizing.  This high tech camera is designed for astro-snaps specifically and is an 18-megapixel, APS-C CMOS has an ISO range that runs to 12,800, letting in enough light for you to capture the stars.  A gift your father can enjoy in moments of solitude with shots that he can endlessly show off to his friends.  Also, a great bonder for granddads and grandkids.

For the Hair Guy:

If your man has Justin Bieber hair or sexy locks, check out a limited-edition Father’s Day Gift Set by Schwarzkopf Professional’s brand new men’s line 3D Men Hair effect.  With neon green and black packaging, it’s uber masculine to look at and is fabulous product that will effectively and easily shape his do in a high impact, manly way. The brand has a great slogan: Men like to keep their options open.  No wonder, men expect their hair care to be just like them.

For the Book-Reading Guy:

Robin Sharma’s books make great gifts for Dads.  For the noble man who has always been your inspiration, The Leader Who Had No Title is a fabulous guide to showing leadership, having power and playing at your peak, regardless of position.  Similarly, Robin Sharma Daily Inspiration is an uplifting book of quotes that truly energize and transform the lives of readers.

Conrad Black’s A Matter of Principle is another hot read, as are The Impossible Dead by Ian Rankin and The Big Miss: My Years Coaching Tiger Woods by Hank Haney.

For the Sporty Guy:

LUSH Cosmetics The Guv’ner is an unforgettable gift for your Dad.  It is an “odour-busting blend of sage, lavender and patchouli in a super absorbent charcoal and lycopodium base” and was tested every day for 3 months wearing white shirts. Pure magic, this loose powder deodorant is a pain to use (grey powder goes everywhere) but somehow it works and works better than traditional drugstore roll-ons and aerosols.  The moisture-absorbing charcoal also contains antiseptic and astringent sage and patchouli for its cooling, astringent properties on the skin.

For the Pampered Guy:

L’OCCITANE is always known for luxury products but their hot Verdon Energy Moisturizer is like putting a bit of heaven on your face.  Created especially for active guys, it intensely moisturizes and soothes the skin after a shave.  It contains purifying peppermint essential oil, sea-buckthorn moisturizing water, nourishing and energizing oil, and protecting genepi extract, which have been selected in response to specific needs of men’s skin.

For the Sexy Guy:

The scent of musk is considered a principal attraction between the sexes. If you gift The Body Shop’s White Musk Eau De Toilette Pour Homme to the father of your children, this is definitely a gift the two of you can enjoy.  It’s a modern, masculine and seductive infusion of musk and woods with crisp, fresh, and aromatic notes; think of the male gift alternative to sexy lingerie!

For the sportier male, this musk comes in a Sport version as well which has a zesty touch with notes of grapefruit and lemon fused with sensual amber.

Artistic Director Karen Kain is truly taking the National Ballet of Canada to new heights.  Tonight’s triple bill of three very distinct pieces was an ingenious way to end the company’s 60th anniversary season.

Artists of the Ballet in Elite Syncopations Photograph by Cylla von Tiedemann

After the morose dancing of Hamlet, these vibrant vignettes showcased the National Ballet’s breadth, depth and exceptional talent.  It was also a history tour of the last thirty years of ballet and as Artist in Residence Rex Harrington stated at the pre-ballet talk, it shows the National Ballet’s distant past, middle past and future.

The evening began with the playful ragtime Elite Syncopations, choreographed by Kenneth MacMillan and with the accompaniment of a fully costumed band of company orchestra players onstage led by retired music director Ormsby Wilkins. First performed by the National Ballet of Canada in 1978 with Karen Kain playing the lead female role, Elite Syncopations featured Xiao Nan Yu in the spotlight this time around.  However, this ballet is truly an ensemble piece with a hurricane of dance and comedy, effortlessly swinging between pas de deux and corps de ballet.

Elena Lobsanova and Jiří Jelinek in Chroma Photographer Bruce Zinger

The dancers dressed in hand-painted body tights by designer Ian Spurling charm the audience with a fast-paced romp.  There are many memorable mini dance competitions and the much loved Tall-short pairing pas de deux danced by Christopher Stalzer and Adji Cissoko.

Chroma

The second performance Song of a Wayfarer was polar opposite from the first. A very traditional, somber, technique driven piece originally choreographed by Belgian Maurice Bejart for Rudolf Nureyev and Paolo Bortoluzzi in 1971, this duet is truly timeless.  Mahler’s lyrics to the classic song Song of a Wayfarer were sung hauntingly by baritone Peter Barrett.  Emotion-filled and intense, a young man (played by Zdenek Konvalina) struggles with his double (played by Guillaume Cote).  We are unsure what this shadow is, whether his conscience or his destiny, but it is clear this demon has to be reconciled with.  The performance gathered a well-deserved standing ovation.

The last performance of the night was the highly anticipated Wayne McGregor futuristic dazzler Chroma,originally choreographed for Britain’s Royal Ballet in 2006 and first performed by the National Ballet in 2010.  With neon lighting and androgynous costumes, this frenzied, cutting edge, highly technical ballet held the audience at the edge of its seats.  It’s white décor world is as enigmatic yet whole as the dark, black filled world of the Matrix films.  Composer Joby Talbot includes orchestrations of three songs by The White Stripes.  The jagged edge of the score is a perfect foil for the rapid fire choreography and stark white backdrop which only serves to highlight the architecture of the human body and the nature of physical movement.

The highly anticipated 11^th Scrubs in the City fundraiser for SickKids Hospital was held at the Evergreen Brick Works.  This year’s theme was the Secret Garden and the organizing committee headed by Event Chair Molly Fitzpatrick – and including Caroline Cohen, Lauren Habib, Jacqueline Johnson, Sandra Keeley, Lucinda Kogan, Stephanie Lewis, Sylvia Mantella, Amy Milne, Julia Mordini, Suzanne Rogers, Patty Seigel and Kirsten van der Griend – played up both the garden and the secret elements to the fullest at this wonderful community environmental centre.

Hilary Farr

Burt’s Bees Massages

Toronto’s medical community was joined by the business and social elite as well as celebrities like Hilary Farr (host of Love It or List It), to support this worthy cause.  Hosted by Mary Kitchen, Entertainment Anchor for CityNews, the night was full of pampering, culinary delights as well as plentiful surprises.  From the Burt’s Bees massages and Mombacho Cigars to the decadent hors d’oeuvres to the surprise concert by Shawn Desman to the flower cookies to the aerial performance to the raffle and silent auction to the non-stop groovin’ by DJ Floh Back Productions.

Flower Cookies

This was truly a night for fashionistas as all gathered together in their sexiest and sassiest outfits for this year’s cocktail party.  The event began with a VIP reception but quickly transitioned to a very happening party full of adventurous, trendy partygoers.  As guests mingled, aerial performances and some unexpected characters made an appearance. The biggest thrill came when Shawn Desman performed a high energy concert that really revved up the crowd.

The décor was very well thought out with the photo booth being a rose wall and the dessert being flower sugar cookies in all colours, just like a rose garden.

Over the past decade, over $1.7 million has been raised by Scrubs to support the the highest priority needs at The Hospital for Sick Children. This year’s proceeds went to The Urgent Care Unit.

The Art of Leadership recently presented 5 leading speakers to a packed crowed at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

Audience at the Art of Leadership 2012

The event began with Marcus Buckingham, famous for helping create StrengthsFinder, the personal assessment tool that created an insightful and specific vocabulary to describe an individual’s ingrained talents.  He also is responsible for popularizing the phrase “Top 5″ to the business lexicon.  Buckingham was witty, charming, and ran through his latest project StandOut. His most insightful comments were on the trend of personalized home pages on websites like Netflix, Facebook and Amazon.

Chester Elton

Chester Elton, founder of The Carrot Principle, followed with a dynamic, interactive presentation in which he spoke about the importance of appreciation, recognition and culture to organizations.  He also stressed the importance of being kind to all as you never really know what bad a day that person has had.

The highly celebrated and anticipated Susan Cain followed. An overnight sensation, her TED talk on introverts has been seen by more than 2 million viewers and she has become the Spokesperson for Introverts.  Although a quiet personality, she becomes quite passionate when advocating the rights from the oppressed group as she sees introverts.  It is quite likely this Harvard Law grad will turn business hiring, primary educational school systems and even workplace layouts and interiors on their head with her groundbreaking work.  Her speech was a variation on her TED talk and warranted numerous questions from the audience who recognized the significance of her work denouncing current trends of prioritizing group time and spaces.

Leonard Brody

Leonard Brody followed next with one of the most brilliant speeches at any conference.  A dynamic personality combined with a genius brain, Brody spoke on innovation and how to lead in a blender, which is how he described today’s fast paced world.  He also explained how Facebook has changed human behavior so we are now a generation of “sharers,” the full impact of which will not be understood or officially named until future generations look back upon this age.

Stephen Shapiro signing his books

Stephen Shapiro gave an interactive talk in which he emphasized the importance of thinking inside the box and of interacting and working with people different than you.  He cited the example of how a toothpaste manufacturer innovated by turning to their sister concern a detergent bleach company for ideas.

The program ended with a speech by Vijay Govindarajan, the Earl C. Daum 1924 Professor of International Business at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College and considered one of the world’s leading experts on strategy and innovation.  He spoke on reverse innovation (driven from developing to developed countries) and Strategic Architecture.

The event was compered by Ron Tite.
