OCAD MYSTERY ART SALE

Love Others: I love art and go to as many galleries / museums / exhibits as I can, so I was delighted to be asked by the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD) to participate in their annual mystery art fundraiser. Besides designing for Aime, I enjoy painting and photography, so we'll see what I come up with!! The fun, mystery part comes in to play, where the identity of the artist is only revealed after the work is purchased, so the piece could be by students, artists, or designers. All proceeds from this event will go to support the OCAD creative environment. Hope to see you there!

VERVEGIRL!

Aime was featured in the July / August Issue of Vervegirl with our girl, Stacey McKenzie, on the cover (the international model came to our show for CFW last year)! Vervegirl highlighted Aime's natural colour palette from the latest seasonless 09/10 collection in its fall 2009 forecast!

Look for the featured Multi-Cut Dress and the Draped Poet Cardigan in stores soon.

GET CREATIVE WITH AIME

Toronto-based photog, Jenna Wakani, used the detachable bow belt from her Aime dress (that she wore to a wedding) in a recent photo shoot styled as a head piece! Thanks for opening our eyes to the headband Jenna - it looks great!!

Send us pictures of how you wear your Aime and we'll post it on our blog!

YUPPIE LOVE PART TWO!

Danah (blogger of Yuppie Activist) sent us a pic of how she wore Aime to a destination wedding in the Middle East. We met at the Burroughes sale and she needed a dress that was fashionable, yet at the same time, not over the top where she could wear the piece more than once!

Aime knits travel really well and are designed to be versatile - go from day to evening with a quick change in accessories! See how the oh-so-fashionable Danah dressed up her royal blue Aime Gala Dress - she looks amazing!

A BREEZY, BEAUTFUL DAY IN THE CITY!!

Summer in the city is my favourite thing - enjoying the weather on rooftops, patios, and balconies (aah, heaven!)

This downtown cool outfit is weather appropriate for the steamy hot morning and chilly cool evenings.

Tackle the finicky weather in our Aime pull-on silk knit jersey shorts with gathered pockets, paired with an Alexander Wang Tencel Rib Ruched Sleeve Tee. When the breeze comes in, top it off with a classic 3.1 Phillip Lim Double Breasted "Garconnet" Blazer. Make this look your own by adding an array of funky accessories. We are eyeing ACB's recent collection that mixes leather with chain. Complete the look with Pour La Victoire's 'Ella' T-Strap Sandal in Black Boa Snake, perfect for a sunny day!

Going from Ossington to Bloor? Posh it up by switching your accessories!

Transform the look with the same Aime pull-on silk knit jersey shorts and tuck in a Fendi Flower Top. Anchor the look with an embellished pair of Dries Van Noten Heels. Finally, top off your chic look with a Hermes Scarf worn as a headband.

How do you wear your Aime? Send us your pics and we'll post it on the blog!
