FASHION CALGARY - PAUL HARDY's 10 years in BIZ!!

Saturday, October 20, 2012 was a spectacular night and as we all (fashion enthusiasts) know in Calgary, Paul Hardy is a brilliant mind and my personal GOD, whom I pray to for the perfect outfit all the time (including my wedding dress) ...

...OK, what was I saying...YES, Paul Hardy just celebrated his 10th anniversary with the most tantalizing evocative incredibly beautiful fashion show of his Spring / Summer 2013 Collection accompanied by Paul Brandt's performance "live" during the show as well as the Calgary Philharmonic Ensemble!

We LOVE him!

Paul Hardy walks at the END of this amazing fashion show!

Models were all from Mode Models under the production of Kelly Streit - the president and CEO of Mode Models.

These were also fashionable invitations and line list and credits with postcard photographs of Mode Models' Angi Greene, the muse of the show. How beautiful is that!?

Paul Hardy, Angi Greene, Paul Brandt!

Paul Hardy and me ...smiles!

Kelly Streit and me ...smiles!

Paul Brandt and me....smiles!

Fuzzy but warm with Paul Hardy! And shining in his design brocade coat from his 2006 collection ...I think!!

Horse riding urge:

It is blatantly obvious that our little boy wants to ride! He spent an hour on a pony the very first time and keeps demanding we go ride more...

The WORDS out of his mouth are YAHOO!!
Have I mentioned that he is not even 3 yet?

I tried riding too and fell in love. We live in Alberta and really as my husband says: "when in Rome..."


On the other hand I say: "that it is a perfect opportunity to wear the hot elegant riding clothes too!"
And then I say: "let's go SHOPPING."

Well, that is how easily a new hobby can be created. Especially when I can buy clothes!

Plus you would have to see what I was desperately wearing when riding a horse this past weekend... Not ideal we may conclude, right?

Hence the BOOTS come first to be my purchase.
What do you think? Like these? Any advice you experienced riders out there you may offer a beginner like myself?

Or is the short boot more versatile and better for everyday riding....? Help me someone!

I seem to like the DUBLIN label lots...not knowing much about the riding brand names, I am determined to research it thoroughly. In the mean time, please honor me with your tips and knowledge, and thank you in advance!

Enjoy your weekend riding or not, it will be a hot one in Calgary!
