Last week I was invited to two very fashionable events supporting Canadian talent. The first, a launch of designer Ron White's shoe collection for Holt Renfrew. The second, a vernissage at a new art gallery & tattoo shop in my neighbourhood. I invited my curly haired better half to join me and we made a Thursday date night of shoes & didgeridoos!

The thing I love most about Ron White's shoes is that they're designed for both functionality & fashion, meaning they're comfortable and chic! |

This shoe's iridescent quality reminds me of something a mermaid would wear, so whimsical. |

It looks like a killer, but Ron White created the world's first All Day Heels technology using NASA Poron! |

My tootsies are sample size so I tried on a pair of Rob White's heels for fun. They're like a stylish pillow for your feet, I gave an audible sigh of delight when slipping them on. |

The adorable shoe cookie gifts (which were Oreos dipped in chocolate, yum!) |
After oo'ing and aah'ing over gorgeous heels that I hope to one day be able to afford, we headed to an entirely different creative scene crawling with artists and musicians.

The ethnic melodies of the Didgeridoo (played by none other than artist Mat Dube himself!) |
What is your idea of a fun date night?
Both events look amazing! Been dying for a pair of Ron's shoes and another tattoo...so your post has now got me wanting these things even more! Love how you styled that Target dress too.
