Frugal Fashion Week 101

July 23rd, 2009 by Romi

Tonight, Frugal Fashion Week launches in Toronto. I had the chance to chat with Gillian Downes, the FFW producer to discuss the event and all things stylish and inexpensive.

Check it out!

Visit the Frugal Fashion Week website for more event info and the Windfall site to learn more about the charity supported by the event.

Special thanks to Lucas for being my cameraman!

A Gay Ole’ Time: Pride Festival On The Cheap

July 22nd, 2009 by Andrea

One event that I refuse to miss, regardless of my financial situation, is PRIDE Weekend!

Whether it’s the sweaty shirtless men, the dance parties in the streets, or just the happy and positive vibe it represents, PRIDE is an event like no other! And to top it off, it can be done with little to no money at all!!

Check out this video to see why summer festivals are totally worth going to AND how easily they can be done on the cheap (keeping in mind Virgin Fest hits Vancouver this weekend, Ontario on August 29th/30th, and Alberta on August 8th/9th)!

Hey folks!

This is going to be a busy week. Hopefully mister sun sticks around so we can enjoy it that much more!

Here’s what there is to look forward to this week:

Halifax Pride—Get your rainbow gear together because there are plenty of fabulous and frugal Pride events going on until the 26th. Free art shows, cheap concerts, drink deals, and a picnic, what more can you ask for?

Fancy-Free Fashion—I mentioned this event last week but may I remind you that Toronto is the new home to Frugal Fashion Week. Check out the thriftiest and trendiest fashion event of the summer!

Another week, another line up of fun things to set your frugal hearts ablaze. Why don’t we take a gander?

Mobile Movies And Stargazing: This is so adorable—a Bike-In Movie! The Museum of Vancouver will be screening The Triplets of Belleville today (July 13th) in Vanier Park. Admission is by donation. Bring your wheels and some popcorn!

While you’re at Vanier, go to the MacMillan Observatory for a closer look at the constellations. Sounds like the perfect date to me!
