As most of you know, we kicked off Winterlicious with a fantastic dinner on Friday night with some of our girlfriends at The Drake. Chef Rose indulged us with a three-course meal that included sushi, short ribs, cornmeal crusted trout and the most delicious, soft and sexy grits.  Yes, they’re actually called that, and we all agreed that we couldn’t possibly think of a better name – nommm nommm, so good!

Burbon balls!  Strange yet surprisingly amazing

Winterlicious has been presented for the last ten years by American Express Canada and to celebrate the anniversary this year, Amex decided to take it up a notch by offering Cardmembers some amazing prizes. If you’re an American Express cardholder, head over to www.dinewithamex.ca to register your card and then check out two Winterlicious restaurants for a chance to win $2,000 worth of gift cards and a surprise concert experience with seven of your friends. Another way American Express is working hard to make Cardmembers feel extra special during this already super fun event.

On Friday, Mimi won tickets to see Bring It On – the musical, courtesy of Front Of The Line by American Express (she better bring me )

But if you didn’t get a chance to make it out this weekend, don’t forget that Winterlicious is still going on until Feb. 9, with many restaurants offering both lunch and dinner menus.

Last week, we were invited by The Coveterie to a preview a holiday trunk show by Oh Dina!

Oh Dina! millinery and hair accessories are lovingly handcrafted pieces from Canadian Designer Nicole McInnis in Toronto. The pieces are inspired by vintage femininity while fusing modern elements and unusual millinery techniques. The line features fascinators, headbands and accessories that possess a one of a kind individuality.

Loved the hair pieces, they are very unique and one of a kind.  Prices range from $ 40- $ 80, depending on the detailing.  Oh Dina! hair pieces are a great gift to give to a girlfriend or to wear this holiday season.
