I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, but I've also been interning at Me To We Style for the past few months; contributing to their blog The Shameless Idealist, helping out around the office, and being a photographer at some of their events. Me to We Style is a partner of the charity organization Free The Children, created by the inspirational Craig and Marc Kielburger.

Me To We Style just recently launched their newest MADE IN CANADA tees, so I thought I'd share! They've got that great summer vibe and would be great to sport for this upcoming Canada Day!
Also, Me To We Style just held a CSR Networking event, for people to learn about innovative and eco-friendly ideas for their businesses, featuring speakers from Steam Whistle Brewery, Bullfrog Power, and Pure + Simple. Here are a few photos from the event, and be sure to check out the blog post & Facebook page!
On May 27, I helped out The Pet Network and iChannel as the photographer for the day so I thought I'd share the events we covered!
First up was the Purina Walk for Dog Guides for petNews, which took place at Toronto's Purina Pawsway at Queen's Quay. Click below to read about the experience:
There is also a full gallery of my photos on The Pet Network blog, but here's a glimpse!
And the second event for the day was CLIMAX (Canadian Live Intimate Music and Art Xperience) presented by Proud FM and BMO Financial Group, which was a rally to end homophobic bullying. The event featured live performances, plus amazing food and drinks! Click below to read my post on iChannel's blog:
Here are some photos from the event at Berkeley Church:
It was definitely an interesting day, and I had a great time with the team!

Although the America's Next Top Model Live event took place earlier this month, I realized I still had a ton of video footage from it...so I made a little recap video! Here it is:
For the first time ever, Korean films will be showcased in Toronto and celebrated as a part of the Toronto Korean Film Festival. Taking place at the University of Toronto's Innis Town Hall theatre from June 22 - July 1, this festival aims to give Torontonians a taste of Korean cinema, and to expose the public to Korean culture.
Here is a video they put together, as evidence that people generally don't know a lot about Korea:
On May 26, I attended the press conference for this festival, where the official films and schedules were announced. There are different themed days during the festival, where a variety of film genres will be highlighted. "Failan," "Old Boy," and "A Tale of Two Sisters" are just a few of the great films chosen. I've never seen any Korean films before, so this press conference definitely opened my eyes to some really interesting films (they showed the trailers and I can't wait to watch a few of them!). Following the Q&A with its organizers, they showed a special screening of Kimchi Chronicles, a television series focusing on the wonders - and deliciousness - of Korean food. Check it out:
Not only did the event show us tons of Korean food on screen, but they also gave us authentic Korean food to enjoy before and after the screening! From trying different types of kimchi to learning about bibimbap and watching Korean movie trailers, I definitely left the event satisfied - full of Korean cultural knowledge as well as tasty food.
Here are some photos from the event:
Yum
They looked great!

Laura and Kate Mulleavy, the charming sister duo behind the successful Rodarte clothing line made an appearance at The Bay for a special live interview with Jeanne Beker. The LA-based designers spoke about their latest collection, sources of inspiration, and their childhood on the west coast.
