Wherefore art mine ELLE?

I expected my first post to be an exposé on the ELLE Show, which took place this past weekend in Toronto at the Direct Energy Centre. However, naturally, the TTC saw it fit to strike on the day of my planned trip. Luckily, I was at home to hear the news and not in tranist like many a poor soul. Anyways, to anyone who did go, please send pictures and/or stories about the likely amazing time you had so that I may relish in your glory.

It came to my attention over the weekend that a friend of mine is actually in the running to become a cover girl for ELLE Canada. Congratulations to her, Shurelle Alcindor, and please visit www.elleshow.ca to vote. The contest is only running until May 1, 2008. She shot with ELLE over this past weekend (photographer to be announced), and if she allows maybe I will post those pictures at a later date. For now, GO VOTE!

And more on the ELLE Show.. a very talented designer, Adrienne Butikofer, whom I've had the pleasure of speaking with on a couple occasions, was one of the four contenders in the TFI New Labels Competition. Her designs, featured below, may have won her $25,000 in prizes. Still waiting to hear back on who the big winner was..

So enough about the ELLE Show because the wound of not being able to go is still fresh. But on to some introductions..

Sonjé, or simply Jaye.. I am a fashion freak and budding wardrobe stylist/consultant. My style is best described as "erratic" - one day in the vein of Gucci and the next in the vein of Betsey. Lately, I've been obsessed with sneakerhead style, and in general I love street fashion. But I'm everyday refining my knowledge of and increasing my appreciation for all things couture. This blog is my little way of documenting my fashion travels, discussing trends, and sharing with you my great finds. Please enjoy.
