Ed Sheeran Sneak Peek

Hey everyone!

A couple weeks ago, I was able to interview the incredibly talented Ed Sheeran when he made a visit to Toronto so I thought I'd share a sneak peek before the article comes out in the next issue of Faze! Here's a photo from the interview:

If you aren't aware of who this amazing guy is, check out a couple of his videos:

(Yes, he's pals with Rupert Grint!)

I'll keep you posted when the article comes out! :)

Last month I posted up my article from my T. Mills interview (http://christinadun.blogspot.ca/2012/04/cmw-t-mills.html) so I thought I'd post a couple more video clips from my interview! Enjoy :) Sorry for the audio quality though...didn't have a mic.

T. Mills talks about who he'd love to collaborate and about today's music industry:

Hot Chelle Rae in Toronto!

Hey everyone!

Earlier this month, I was able to help out Faze Magazine with an interview with Nash and Ryan of Hot Chelle Rae and also got to check out their concert at the Opera House.

The guys rocked out on stage and the fans went crazy for their hit "Tonight Tonight." I love that song too!

Keep an eye out for the article in the summer issue of Faze!

Cody Simpson in Faze Magazine

Hey everyone!

Back in February, I posted a sneak peek blog post from the Faze Magazine Cody Simpson cover shoot (http://christinadun.blogspot.ca/2012/02/cody-simpson-sneak-preview.html) and the issue has finally been published so I thought I'd share the rest of my photos! Be sure to check out the latest issue of Faze and see all the lovely photos from the on-location shoot! Cody Simpson performed at the Phoenix Theatre so we had the cover shoot at the venue and it was a lot of fun!

 Here's a look into the magazine - and I'm on the behind the scenes page! :)

The Wanted Sneak Peek

On April 2nd, I got the opportunity to interview British boy band The Wanted for Faze Magazine on their first visit to Toronto and it was so great to hang out with the guys for a while and get to know them better. So what were they like? As expected, they're incredibly funny and super charming. They told me about their April Fools' Day shenanigans, described some crazy fan encounters, and even taught me some UK slang! 

My article will be in the summer issue of Faze, so this blog post is just a sneak peek featuring one of the photos I took with the group.

When the issue is out, I will be posting more from the interview, including a Q&A and a few more photos :)

3F Shopping Spree with Aleesia!

So I hope you already checked out my previous post featuring the actual 3F/Aleesia event, but now for the highlight of my day...A $500 shopping spree with Aleesia! Who says Friday the 13 has to be unlucky?!

I was literally just on my way back home, when I found out via Twitter that I was the winner of the contest! Here's the Tweet below:

I was ecstatic.

So I quickly made my way back to the 3F store and we did some photos, etc before the shopping fun began.

And with Aleesia's help, I found such amazing stuff - from summer shorts to high waited jeans and casual cotton blazers to dressier tops. I had so much fun!

Packing up my goodies :)

And this is what I came home with!

Thanks to 3F Fashions & Z103.5 for the opportunity!

And thanks to Aleesia for the style advice :)

Are you a fan of Aleesia? I'll be having some giveaways very soon - So stay tuned!

Aleesia at 3F Fashions

On Friday April 13, local pop artist Aleesia made an appearance at the 3F Fashions store at Yonge-Dundas Square to promote the release of her debut album "Girl Talk." She did a meet & greet with fans and signed autographs. The store was buzzing with excitement and they were joined by Z103.5 live on location.

You have probably heard her hit song, "Life of the Party" - but if not, here it is :)

She also performed at Faze Magazine's Glow Girl event so it was great to meet her after seeing her perform live back in December (http://christinadun.blogspot.ca/2011/12/faze-magazine-glow-girl-event-pt-2-ft.html)

Check out my photos from the fantastic 3F event!

3F was offering a 25% discount as well, so fans got some great deals!

Posing with fans!

There was also a contest going on during the event - to enter, all you had to do was tweet a photo of your favourite three items in the store and you had the chance of winning a $500 shopping spree with Aleesia!

....And the most exciting news...I WON!

Up next: a blog post from my experience shopping with Aleesia :)
