Custom jewellery including bridal....LOVE!

I have had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful woman who reminds me of a beautiful butterfly that doesn't want to come out of her cocoon (cheezy I know but that's exactly how it was when I first corresponded with her). And now look at her....watch out, here she comes!

Isobel Walker is the owner and inspiration behind Frash Femme and bel - both customized and one-of-a-kind pieces. Her creativity and passion for what she does is apparent in her work. She is locale to the Ottawa-Gatineau area but her lines are available around the world. Within the City, you can find her jewellery at select boutique shops such as Victoire Boutique, Boutique Le Local , and With Love Bridal Boutique. Her collections are available online at her website and now also at chicshop.ca.

Recently her collection was featured at Ottawa Fashion Week's Walk the Truth Charity Show and Gala this last weekend(watch the OFW video)or (check out the OFW photos).

So proud of her and it's a pleasure to have played a small role in her journey as she succeeds...can't wait to see where this takes her. To find out more about Isobel and the story behind the success (big hugs to her for the special mention of Beyond Events), please enjoy her interview on Kim's Korner on EZ Rock 99.7.

Fashion and Glam in Ottawa - all in one weekend!

Ottawa Fashion Week has become THE event to attend in Ottawa! Now on its fourth season, fashionistas and art enthusiasts from everywhere are brought together in the Nation’s Capital for a weekend of glamour and fashion. This year it was held at the spectacular National Gallery Grand Hall.

Over the three days, Beyond Events was a part of the Vendor Gallery. We were among some great vendors such as: Karen McClintock whose gorgeous jewellery hit the runway on Opening Night, Lilac Lingerie, Ottawa Flowers, Dress it Up by NZ, and Beauticontrol. We had so much fun having our table beside two event sponsors, Le Spa Ottawa/The Loft Ottawa and Rob Reid. A shout out to George and Rob - both entertained us and made the weekend fly by!

We had a great view of the runway and the gorgeous models sporting 21 of the most talented Canadian designers such as Adrian Wu, Rachel Sin and Kania Couture.


Among the crowd of media there every night, I had the pleasure of meeting MaryLou from Twenty York Street, a “Fashion and Lifestyle Blog that showcases the latest trends in fashion, style and events in the city”, Julie from Pop Champagne , an “outrageous commentary on celebrities, fashion, popular culture- as well as the happenings in Ottawa, Canada and Holly from My Journey 613, a blog to share ideas and events around Ottawa with everyone. Loved meeting these ladies and can’t wait to read more of their blogs…


There were lots of laughs, I connected with many people (including Max Keeping), enjoyed plenty of beauty and style, and of course took pictures for my readers to enjoy…I'm looking forward to the next one!
