Those of you who have read my site since inception know that I’m all about style and food, so for the Spring One of a Kind Show, I’m highlighting two must-visit booths, one food-related and the other, fashion.
Left: Maple butter with cinnamon; Right: Regular maple butter
This is not just maple syrup (which media had the chance to enjoy at breakfast – went along with delicious brie and pear French toast)! There are also delicious maple butters (plain and cinnamon) as well as jellies, sauces and more. This is a booth you want to stop by just to try the maple butters – it is absolutely delicious! I bought both the regular and cinnamon and will be enjoying them for months to come – especially on waffles! Visit Voisin’s at B40.
AIME:
The Zoe dress
I have been following Monica Mei’s fashion career since she made her debut at Fashion Week (then still known as LG Fashion Week) several years ago. I have many of her pieces, especially from her last collection, which launched a while back. Her new collection of resort-based dresses is not only reversible, but is one-size-fits-most. I would have to say that if you’re on the smaller end of the spectrum, expect looser, more Nicole Richie-like fits. The collection, called Wanderlust, was inspired by a trip to Istanbul. Check out AIME at Booth Q21 (NOTE: dresses are available at a discounted price if you back her on Kickstarter).
Other great booths include: Taska (bags, at K43), DaLish Cosmetics (make-up, K41) Rustichella (infused oils and vinegars, B32), Les Caprices D’Angeline (spreads and dressings (and a DelectablyChic! favourite), C45) and Beverley’s Bakers (butter tarts – many different kinds, B38).
The One of a Kind Show is at the Direct Energy Centre at Exhibition Place in Toronto. The Spring show is a bit shorter than the Christmas event and will run until this Sunday, March 30. Tickets are available online and at the door.
