If you’re an avid reader of US and In Touch magazine, then you’ve seen young starlets don a Toy Watch on their wrist. I attended an exclusive preview of it’s collection at Opus last week and saw first hand why they’re a hot item. These stylish time tellers not only add a dose of colour and sparkle to your outfit and mix well with bangles for a cool statement look, they make sure you’re on schedule for your next event.

Showstoppers unite as Polymath Fashion was featured at the latest Designer Showcase at Opus Lounge Yaletown this past week. The latest collection by Emily Miller featured attention-grabbing patterns, pops of colour, dramatic shapes, and ultra feminine silhouettes. Highlights include a sleek black number with back ruffle detail and a fluid periwinkle blue dress with a leopard contrast belt. Perfect for a night on the town, these pieces are a surefire way to steal the spotlight.

What do you get when you mix a little bubbly, loads of ruffles, some bling and a room full eco-friendly fashion-lovers? A Lav & Kush show at Opus, of course! The Vancouver based eco-stylish label showcased their Spring 2010 collection to an array of LAVtini-sipping fashion elite last week. Lav & Kush designer Angela Saxena paid tribute to all things feminine for Spring. Flirty skirts and dresses, ruffle detailing and sweetheart necklines were key elements featured in body-flattering silhouettes. My personal favourite? A soft grey romper with a ruffle neckline. Get your fix of Lav & Kush at shoplavandkush.com.

When I think of buying a new pair of sexy skinnies, I think of Mavi. Pleasantly surprised more and more by the cool brand, spring 2010 is packed with all your wardrobe essentials. Having recently showcased its next season’s collection at Opus, I fell in love with every piece. It’s one hot line and here’s the proof.

Mavi showcased it’s spring 2010 collection at Opus last Thursday, and I can’t wait to get my hands on the fresh new styles. But before I give you a peek at what’s to come, here’s a look at the stylish crowd.
