What Women Want

A sunny day, good friends, good tunes and good conversation. Cupcakes and Belvedere cocktails, manicures, pedicures and stiletto heels. Add a little eye candy to the mix and we have, What Women Want, hosted by Event Planning Superstar, Shannae Ingleton at Proof Bar in the Intercontinental Hotel this past June. What could be more of a perfect day than mixing, mingling, shopping and getting pampered together with a few hundred kindred spirited women dressed to the nines in gorgeous summer frocks. And of course…there were gift bags! 

What Women Want is the annual headline event for what Ms. Ingleton plans to grow into a mix of women-focused events in Toronto, including a WWW book club and yoga classes. This year, attendees to the event were made privy to butt-lifting secrets from Beauty & Behind and get fit tips from fitness expert, Lyzabeth Lopez (we can almost all use a little help in this department, non?), were indulged with a LouLou magazine sponsored nail bar and Cargo Cosmetic makeovers , fell in love with buttery leather belts by cha cha (I love the Elizabeth belt) and Susana Erazo,  drooled over the finest, most fabulous footwear by Maria Serrano shoes from argentina and swooned over the gorgeous fashions of Juma and Brazen Hussy , to name a few of the little luxuries on offer. There was so much at our freshly polished fingertips it was hard to choose! 

Or course, one of the most fabulous aspects of the event was meeting and being inspired by the many entrepreneurial women on hand. While the cocktails flowed and the sun added to our glow, it was so lovely to get to know some like-minded women and be encouraged and energized by their success stories and support of others’ ideas.  

And while this year’s event is well behind us, there is definitely more to come from What Women Want. So start thinking about your frills and frocks for next year and leaving the boys at home for a fabulous day of fun in the sun – girlie-style.
