Calling All Swappers in Calgary

If you've followed me for a while, you'll know that I organize a clothing swap twice a year in Calgary.

So, if you live in the city and have clothing for the next "Take Off Your Clothes" clothing swap happening on June 12th, there are a few ways that you can get it to us before the event!

Option 1 - Meet us this Saturday May 7th from 10AM to 12PM at the Confederation Park Recycling Depot parking lot (2807 10 St. NW)
Please note, All S.W.A.P. drivers will have their windows clearly labeled with “Take Off Your Clothes” clothing swap

Option 2 - Drop Your clothing off at Eleven Eleven Boutique (233 10 Street NW) during their business hours.
They're offering 10% off anything in store for those who drop off clothing for the "Take Off
Your Clothes" clothing swap.

This year we've also created handy labels that you can print and attach to your bags of clothing. Here's the link:

Ruby Ellen Designs Launch Party

Happy Friday y'all!

It's been a busy week on my end. I've been putting a lot of my energy into planning the next "Take Off Your Clothes" clothing swap event for Spring. This week was a successful one where plannings concerned. I've been lucky enough to secure a date, venue and dj's so far. I hope to have everything secured by the end of the month so if you're in Calgary, keep you eyes open for details at the end of January.

I'm also collaborating with a friend to launch a biz next month - so stay tuned for that!!!!

Tonight, I'm off to the Ruby Ellen Designs Launch party at Eleven Eleven boutique.

Ruby Ellen Designs' spring collection is now officially at Eleven, Eleven. And tonight they're celebrating Ruby's new RED Edition dresses. I happen to love colour and "Red" looks so good on me, so I am getting myself together to head on out.

I hear that there's gonna be a bit of bubbly and some tasty treats to enjoy.

I'll be taking some photos with my iPhone to upload later tonight!


Before I go, I'm posting a song that I've had on serious rotation today!

Enjoy:)
