An Wonderland Evening To Remember

People with many interests live, not only longest, but happiest.
George Matthew All

Bonjour all!

I've been incredibly busy these past few days, but not busy enough that I may update (as promised) about the fun night of the Alice in Wonderland Fundraiser and Cocktail Night!

Now, all proceeds went to Canada's Children's Literacy Fund, which was all the more spectacular. With great thanks to my good friend Tia, who graciously allowed me to take a few shots, as well as herself, we are able to share with you some great moments (and cute treats too!)
It took place in the amazing setting of Hart House's Music Hall, where upon arriving, everything was wonderfully themed, not to mention the music and the Classic Disney's Alice In Wonderland projecting from a screen above the fireplace!
Moi :)



The Queens of Hearts (my good friend is on the right...AND better yet, she won SECOND place for her costume which was handmade (not store bought) which brought even yummier bonus points!!
Throughout the evening, I thought the best parts were meeting new people and spending an amazing time your own friends. I know Tas and Tia and I had huge laughs!
When she won SECOND...haha. Actually I ended up getting something fun out of it too: Two film passes as I solved an Alice Trivia Question right!

The cake! I loved how they added all the themes and inserted it into this lovely monument of deliciousness.
The pastries were very lovely indeed!


I know I could not help myself to these ones. Unfortunately, I did not shrink, nor did I stretch at all!

My friend the Mad Hatter (and also in real life )
Some guests that attended this evening:



My two chums who make up the Three Musketeers, Tia and Tas.
I must point out that funny enough, the Alice doll Tia is holding..almost showed up everywhere in some pictures...guess it was the life of the party, haha.



Definitely events like these are really wonderful..I know there will be more to come!
And that's all for now! Ciao!

Curiouser and Curiouser!

Alice: "If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?"

Bonjour all!

March 5 will be a very important day! And why you may ask?

One of my most adored childhood tales is being brought to life with the magic touch of Tim Burton's vision, Alice In Wonderland.

How I used to dream that one day I may fall into my own rabbit hole, and awake to a world quite unlike my realistic own.

So, not only will I watch the film on premiere day in 3D, but I have also picked up my invitation to a most spectacular event that very night: The Alice in Wonderland Fundraiser and Cocktail Night.

What a day this will be, a whole day filled with Alice in Wonderland.

I love what they did for the invitation!
The backside:

It would take place at the Hart House Music Hall (which is a perfect setting for this affair) in which formal attire and costumes are welcome... you know what this means- I shall definitely dress up, channelling the spirit of Alice and her enchanting world.

I already had something in mind with the dress which is ballerina-inspired and I found something to put in my hair (thanks to Anthropologie)!

What's great about this event is that it has a noteworthy cause tied to it. The event is raising money for Children's Literacy Canada. They would also be offering beautifully illustrated special edition Alice in Wonderland print sets of five iconic moments within the story, as well as t-shirts! I think I will pick both up as portions of the sales of the t-shirts and prints will be donated to Children's Literacy.

So not only would it be a whimsical and fun affair, but also doing something great for the love of reading as well. What could be more grand than that?
I know I won't be late for this very important date!

That's all for now, ciao!
