Behind the Scenes Look at Blush's Recent Buying Trip at NY Fashion Week
It was recently Fashion Week in New York City and Blush’s eveningwear buyers just returned from fashion’s biggest event, The Coterie. This 3 day event takes place in the Javits Center and is considered by many to be fashion heaven. It is a place where thousands of American and international fashion vendors meet with buyers from all over the world. It’s also a great place to discover the hottest trends for spring, summer and fall. We came, we saw, we shopped and we conquered.

By: Monika Hibbs of The Doctor's Closet
Wow, what a fabulous night at the Oscars! The Blush ladies and myself had a lovely evening at one of the best Oscar parties in Vancouver- The Oscars at Cinema! We got all "Blush-ed" up, enjoyed the company of Vancouver's best dressed and delicious food... Oh! and The Academy Awards of course! There was a lot of "Ooo's", "Awwwe's", "What what she thinking?" and "Didn't Nicole Kidman already wear that??". Over all, we had an amazing time drooling over the stunning gowns on the red carpet!

Oscars' Best Dressed!
Fashion’s biggest night is coming up this Sunday, February 26th, as celebrities hit the red carpet for the 84th Annual Academy Awards. This is the night where our fashion fantasies come alive (or, in some cases, go terribly awry)! Maybe it’s because we spend so much time with the classic whites and ivories of bridal, but come Oscar night we’re can’t wait for the rainbow of colours that always grace the red carpet. As we wait and wonder just who will wear what, we look back at some of the most memorable and iconic Oscar gowns of the past twenty years. Stand-out faves in every color include: Halle Berry's iconic Elie Saab burgandy gown (2002), Michelle Williams’ marigold draped and pleated gown by Vera Wang (2006), Nicole Kidman’s haute couture (and wildly controversial) chartreuse John Galliano gown (1997), Charlize Theron’s pale blue ruffle ball gown by Christian Dior (2005), Gwyneth Paltrow’s simple and classic pink ball gown by Ralph Lauren (1998), Mila Kunis’ dreamy lace tiered lavender gown by Elie Saab (2011), Marion Cotillard’s scaly white mermaid gown by Jean Paul Gaultier (2000), Renee Zelwegger’s white old-Hollywood gown by Carolina Herrera (2004), and Julia Roberts’ black and white vintage Valentino gown (2001).
