Random Fact: The event was actually at the late Ted Roger’s mansion in center of the city. Ted Rogers was the owner and CEO of Rogers Communications and also the fourth richest person in Canada- imagine what his house looked like! The current owner was generous enough to open his doors to the Bombay Sapphire team and the Notable TV cameras!

The Sapphire Collins is a definite must this summer, and so easy to make!

You will need the juice of one half of a lemon
Roll the lemon on a flat surface to allow more juice to squeeze out
Add about the same amount of sugar syrup (2 parts sugar, 1 part water, heat it up)
Add Bombay Safire (as strong as you would like your drink, we recommend 1.5 ounces.)
Add some ice
Top it off with some soda water

Voila!

The cocktails were paired with a fantastic assortment of tasty nibbles from Eatertainment’s menu. Eatertainment is Canada’s source for entertaining. Click on their link to access trends and recipes, and awesome entertaining ideas. They have everything you need to help you entertain better!

1. Wyclef was promoting and educating the crowd of his foundation that was created for underprivileged children in Haiti, Yele Haiti. Click on this link to learn more about the foundation and the things that Wyclef is promoting to help solve the civil turmoil in his home country.

2. Wyclef’s First Tweet … Ever! Yes, that’s right, Wyclef used Twitter for his first time ever – live and on stage at the concert! The crowd went wild as he “live-blogged” from the stage. Follow Wyclef on Twitter by searching @wyclef

3. Notable TV got the only interview from the concert …

The concept was the same: people paid it backward on September 30th at more than 170 Second Cup locations across Ontario by purchasing a coffee for the person behind them in line. But this time, the charity component was elevated a bit – each act of “coffee kindness” meant that $5 was  donated to The SickKids Foundation. This was huge and the turn out was amazing. Everyone was smiling and buying each other coffees. Each person who did so received a number and had their photo taken. This made everyone feel as though they were contributing and really brought up the energy. It made the entire environment light up. The SickKids Foundation and Second Cup exceeded their goal. The turnout was incredible. We hung around the main location on Queen and John where live DJ’s, a red carpet, decorations and a whole lot of spirit surrounded Second Cup. A young boy wearing the SickKids t-shirt and using a cowbell to draw attention to the coffee shop tugged on everyone’s heartstrings. The amount of energy present at all times constantly attracted more people to the event. We spoke to some of the people at the event, representatives of SickKids and even contributed to the making of the coffee. It was a fantastic experience and certainly note worthy. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported the cause.

Operanation was infused with Latin music and tango dancing and featured a stunning opera performance by Mezzo-soprano Lauren Segal, who starred as Carmen’s companion Mercedes in the show.

Servers circled the main room and upstairs with trays of delicious Spanish tapas and exotic cocktails while the bartenders were kept busy at the open bar. Attendees became celebrities at the Hello Magazine photobooth, took Spanish dance lessons, competed in a silent auction and left with  luxury gift bags.

And to top it off, Canada advanced to the semi-finals with a 3-2 win over Slovakia (it was shown live upstairs, of course).

Can’t wait for the next one.

Marcelo then caught up with fashion guru Marlene Schiff of Boutique LeTrou, a Queen West retailer showcasing some of the best fashion design talent Toronto has to offer. Within seconds, their interview turned into a quest to have Marlene walk away from the Interior Design Show with the radiator of her dreams courtesy of Jaga Canada (these designs are worth taking a look at!). Marcelo speaks with Mike and Bert of Jaga and, after some gentle persuasion, has them agree to send Marlene home with “something.”

Design Consultant & Lifestyle Blogger, Black General Contracting & Discovering Jewels

Age 27

Most likely to be seen at : Toronto Design & Gala Events and on HGTV’s Pure Design as Design Assistant to Samantha Pynn.

What’s notable to you? I am a trend spotter, current events aficionado and popular culture enthusiast. I am devoted to being on top of what’s happening in and around the lifestyle and design scenes, as well as within the media. As an eager news junkie, I do my very best to discover and deliver all that is going on in our social network. Whether it be styling tips and tricks for you and your home, simple eco-conscious living styles, fabulous finds for your wardrobe and home, and who and what the who’s who are up to, I am on top of it.

Meet Julia: With great pleasure and fulfillment, I have experienced remarkable teachings and volunteer opportunities, and have participated in countless creative activities. I have achieved a degree with honors in Psychology and the Arts from Queen’s University, followed by a diploma of Interior Design at the International Academy of Design & Technology. Upon graduating I was awarded the role as Design Assistant on one of HGTV’s newer television shows, Pure Design. Working alongside the host, the magnificent and extraordinary Samantha Pynn, I have learned extensive styling and design practices. In addition, I was responsible for assisting on photo shoots for publication, as well as project management and trade organization. I have learned on-camera practices, and have been so fortunate to work with some of Toronto’s greatest producers, directors, designers, and writers.  I continue to assist Samantha Pynn, behind the scenes on CityLine, and I maintain my own lifestyle blog as well as a contributing writer for the reputable and brilliant stylist, trend-reporter and editor, Arren Williams. Most of all, I love people. I love learning about what inspires them and their creative path, and I love learning the ways to living a life with style, substance, and with a light carbon footprint.
