The Social Feed and The Anthology: Fashion and Design Feed

The ever so popular and charismatic Kelsey of The Anthology invited me to a dinner with a cause. The Social Feed and Kelsey partnered up for a Fashion and Design Feed. Along with meeting new friends and having fun food at The Irish Heather, donations went toward a great organization: Dress for Success

The Social Feed organizes giant dinner parties at independent restaurants around Vancouver and Toronto. I actually sat beside one of the founders, Alex, throughout the whole night. We totally nerd-ed out and talked about what kind of tech & programming skills we have and what’s the latest programming languages, etc. And of course we discussed in-depth of the food scene in Vancouver.

It was sort of banquet communal style dinner where plates of food were brought to the table and we just passed the plates around. We grazed, drank, and talked throughout the whole night.
The vegetarian menu consisted of:

Arugula and Beet Salad

Chick Pea Stuffed Ravioli with lemon, garlic, chilies and pecorino

Roasted Cauliflower kale, fried garlic, cress & caper dressing

Braised Greens with Chilies and Garlic

All of that downed with a nice pint of Orchard Hill Cider

I met some very fashionable ladies and gents that night. Got to meet Kelsey’s siblings and I can see the fashion gene runs through the whole family. It was also oh so nice catching up with great folks! Bumped into Maurice, Grace Carter (of previous Invoke now at Aritzia..we both knew each other during our Blast Radius days), and my long time pal Liv of A Beautiful Life.

I didn’t take a pic of my outfit but per fashion blog I’ll list what I wore:

Soft dark blue throw-on cardigan from Ishara

Vintage gold crepe tank top..which I got for $15
Black Rich & Skinny jeans..which I got for under $40! (score!)
Leather knee high boots (I think I literally sleep in them)

It was fun rubbing shoulders with such a great crowd and being a part of such a good cause. Thanks again Kelsey for the invite!

It was so fun! Glad to see you there and I loved your gold metallic top. I think the Social Feed concept works wonderfully and for such a great cause. And kudos of course to Kelsey and the organizers to putting it together.
