On Thursday, September 15 the who's who of Ottawa gathered at the ARC Hotel to experience the LIFE OF STYLE.
Ironic that the event of the season took place the exact same day that Vivian Song of MSN.com named Ottawa as one of the Worst-Dressed cities (see the opinion piece here) - because glancing around the lounge of the ARC Hotel and that thought would never have crossed your mind.
Life of Style was the definition of glamourous!

Put together by Twenty York Street, and Beyond Events, Life of Style was the hottest party to hit Ottawa all Summer. After walking the red carpet, guests were treated to oysters from Whalesbone, delicious appetizers courtesy of the Arc Hotel, and delectable treats from Little Cakes and Reggina.
The paparazzi were out in full force that night, snapping pics of all the fierce fashions and people walking the red carpet.
When not noshing on the treats or being pampered by the Thann Skincare hand masseuses, guests were sipping on signature LIfe of Style drinks, enjoying champagne, and dancing to the beats of DeeJay Eric. Everything from modern hits to way back playbacks, including the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys, Eric kept the guests dancing all night long.
Highlights from the night included dance performances by Start Up Dance.
A fashion show from the luxurious line of Miikali.
And, the launch of You Got Squared, Ottawa's newest boutique photography, videography and creative agency.

And now, on to the outfit...
As an event volunteer, I was asked to wear a black ensemble. I couldn't have been more excited to pull this dress out of the closet.
Originally bought for my Carleton grad a few years back, I was super stoked that it still fit. Plus, you know you can't go wrong with a LBD. Paired with some fab peep-toe pumps and my new favourite accessorie - my Fossil watch - I was ready to live my Life of Style that night.
The final outfit, in all it's glory

Life of Style was definitely the event of the season - thank again to Twenty York Street, Beyond Events, the ARC Hotel, Frash, Thann, and all of the fabulous sponsors for such an amazing night.
I've already started my countdown to LIFE OF STYLE 2012!
