Onze Boutique Spring Forward Contest Party

Wednesday April 14th we had the pleasure of attending a fun cocktail at Boutique Onze at their St. Denis location to celebrate the end of their Spring Forward with boutiqueonze.ca contest.

As we mentioned previously, the online contest was held from March 1st to April 2nd and on every Monday, a new question was posted on boutiqueonze.ca and participants had to correctly answer one of them to be eligible for the prize. They received over 4000 eligible ballots!!! Insane!

The event was very relaxed and welcoming. They had delicious cocktails, mini sandwiches and cute deserts. We mingled with the folks in attendance and checked out their ever so amazing collection of clothing, accessories and knick knacks.

We received a very delightful gift bag... which is always a great way to remember an event.

The lucky winner was Ms. Micheline Sicard, and the lucky gal walked away with the grand prize of $500. So amazing!! Boutique Onze even donated $200 from the evening’s sales to the Dans La Rue foundation. Fashion and a charitable event... how could you go wrong!

It was a pleasure and we will definitely be stopping by this summer for some flirty dresses that caught our eye ;)

As always, all the photos from the event are provided by our fab photographer Hugo Trottier. Thanks again!!!

With offices in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami and Chicago, Gen Art’s goal is to provide emerging talent with access to the art and entertainment industries that often seem impossible to break into.

I, personally have had the opportunity to intern for Gen Art’s fashion department this past summer in New York City, and can attest to the fact that they work very hard, and are extremely passionate about helping up and coming talent in various industries, achieve success. They become a mentor to all emerging talent, providing them with the tools and advise needed to achieve great success in their field. They also produce killer events that will blow your mind!
