In November, VIP readers in Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto enjoyed a series of exclusive closed-door holiday-shopping events at PANDORA, where they received styling tips from fashion features editor Lisa Guimond and PANDORA brand ambassador Janette Ewen. Guests browsed our Editor’s Picks and Janette’s favourite pieces while celebrating the gift-giving season with Lindt chocolates, chilled bubbly, a special gift with purchase from the beautiful PANDORA jewellery tower and a fabulous gift bag!

VIP readers joined ELLE Canada at Swarovski on Bloor Street in Toronto on November 19th for “Sparkling & Sweets,” a dazzling private shopping event. Guests sipped on sparkling wine paired with golden Ferrero Rocher chocolates as they browsed Swarovski’s most coveted gifts for the holiday season. ELLE Canada stylist Cherry Wang was on hand to share styling tips and Editor’s Picks from the fall/winter collection. Guests received an exclusive 20% event discount and left with a gift bag valued at $55.00!

ELLE Canada fashionistas were treated to a series of VIP evenings of fashion and wine at the Discover Your Dark Side events this fall. Guests in Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver donned red and black attire as they sipped delectable blends by Apothic Wines while being pampered with manicures, makeup and a fall-trends fashion show presented by none other than our ELLE Canada style experts. Hyped-up from the sugar at our mouthwatering candy bar, party-goers danced the night away to the latest hits spun by our DJs, and showed off their makeovers posing at our photo booth!
