Wondrous winter wonderland Last wednesday, a winter wonderland arrived at ki modern japanese + bar in the heart of vancouver.As we climbed the bamboo lined entry stairs to greater altitudes we were met with the graceful fall of the finest snowflakes landing softly on our heads.Narnia had been transported from my closet to the third annual face of today gala(Yes, narnia louis vuitton outlet does actually exist in my closet). Face of today is a charitable organization whose mission is to empower underprivileged youth to achieve their life goals and provide a stepping stone for future development in the community.A noble cause and a noteworthy reason to dole out $275 for a ticket to the yearly gala. We were greeted in the courtyard by the whimsical royal family of the otherworldly winter palace.The ice queen(Who closely resembled cate blanchett as queen elizabeth)Stared at us from her magnificent high throne with a discerning and watchful glare, as though to say,"

Behave.I'm onto you. "Her royal court pranced delicately around us, moving in slow motion through the icy air and always remaining in stoic character. The scene was jaw dropping, and we tread carefully on the proverbial ice through the party with our eyes as wide as the silver trays carrying glasses louis vuitton sale of champagne.Great blocks of ice had been sculpted into a bar where tantalizing belvedere cocktails were served.The signature cocktail tasted like an apple and blackberry cobbler.One was enough to satiate my delicate sweet tooth. Having arrived so fashionable late that it could have been deemed unfashionable(Due to a previous engagement at pechakucha), we had missed the delectable platters of sushi, steak and other treats, which were said to have louis vuitton online shopping uk melted like flavoured icicles in ones' mouth. We also missed the silent auction but luckily did manage to bear witness to one of my favourite activities the live auction.The buzz and excitement that can pulse through a crowd during such events is more powerful than a triple espresso.My memory of the auction from last year's face of today gala is imprinted in my mind as being one of the highlights, but this year's live auction just didn't compare.The crowd wasn't into it.Collecting bids was like pulling the most stubborn of teeth.Perhaps it was the awkward layout of the room, or the lack of tempting treasures on offer. The very international people in attendance at the party, on the other hand, outshone the group at last year's event.The fashion was impressive and guests had clearly dressed as though this were los angeles or new york, or at least a swanky chicago.There were orange neon stilettos, pocket squares and flourishes, and designer labels ranging from alexander wang to dolce and gabbana to diane von furstenberg and back again.The piece de resistance were the silver sequined louis vuitton oxfords that one daring and confident young man had slipped on his(Likely)Pedicured feet.I wondered where he would go if he clicked his heels.

I'm telling you, vancouver is moving far beyond ball caps and yoga pants.Worst dressed city, my aunt fanny. We recognized a few familiar faces as we wandered, including dashing gentlemen and beautiful women who we couldn't help but eye up and down in reverence.I encountered a certain man who i have been dancing with via text lately and was pleased to make his further acquaintance in a cozy booth.I swear he is vancouver's answer to george clooney. Entertainment at the party included a scintillating performance by the burlesque beauties, singer tara lett, djs christian alvarez and kraig docherty, and musical duo destineak.An alluring array of acts to round out the delicious evening. Face of today, led by the young philanthropist kasondra cohen, truly outdid itself this year with a memorable gala and over $120, 000 raised to be disbursed among a variety of charities throughout the community. Countdown is now on until the next one learned from the face of today gala: 1.The social concierge knows how to put on one hell of a party.You won't want to miss any future events they throw. 2.When visiting the higher altitudes of winter wonderlands, be mindful of shortness of breath, a phenomenon also brought on when spying those prada heels you so dearly covet. 3.Speaking with someone who has a thick accent can sometimes be a louis vuitton handbags sale challenge.Watch their lips to decipher the words, not to determine how kissable they are.
