will you be my pal #4

 

May 12th marked the fourth installment of Will You Be My Pal – my fun twitter/blogger/lover of fine things get-together for women of Calgary. This one was extra special since it celebrated one year of new pals as well as the incredible people who came out to this one. We had Nathalie from Stella & Dot who threw a fabulous trunk show! We also had the adorable Liz & Alyssa from welikewelove magazine (did i mention their 10th issue just came out?) shooting a super fun pal-centric photobooth in my office. BLO Blowdry Bar came out and did boho braids for everyone and pastel polish nail touchups! We also had a couple gals from Nuskin showing off their new line of spa products. It was a wonderful afternoon full of champagne punch, candy, cheese and new ladyfriends!

How do you define a style icon? Is it the way they present themselves elegantly but effortlessly? Do they have a perpetually covetable wardrobe? Do they just simply emanate a confidence in their person style that no one else does? Or are they just so uniquely and honestly themselves that they have become more than just a person – but an icon?

These are all important questions as Downtown Calgary is running a fabulous campaign right now calling for Downtown Style Icons. They are looking for fashionable downtown peeps who have what it takes to star in their annual Back to Style Fall Fashion campaign. Nominees should either live or work downtown and have a healthy habit of enjoying downtown life to the fullest – including arts & culture, food and fashion! I entered (for fun!) and also nominated several of my favourite local fashionistas. You can nominate your friends here!

Tell me who your favourite celebrity style icons are – these are two of my favourites!
