Yesterday, I attended Alfred & Co.’s Spring Fashion Show here in Ottawa at Santé Restaurant sponsored by PRESS The Fashion Magazine. This showing is part of a seasonal fashion series that showcases Ottawa’s favourite and new boutiques and designers, and runs for several weeks throughout each Fall and Spring season.
A group of Ottawa-based bloggers was invited to lunch and enjoy the fashion show featuring Alfred & Co.’s beautiful selection of designer consignment pieces shown on models from Models International Management, and styled by Alyssa Beltempo (www.msbeltempo.com).
Alfred & Co. is an Ottawa-based online consignment store owned by the very fashionable entrepreneur Alicia McCarthy. Alicia has managed to carefully curate a wide selection of covetable pieces ranging from designer gowns, ready-to-wear, top-label bags, jewelry and more!
Alfred & Co. is also known for pretty pop-up shops around Ottawa! Follow Alfred & Co. on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram (@shopalfred) to keep up-to-date on future pop-up locations. I was lucky enough to visit Alicia’s last pop-up store at Full Bloom and was thrilled with the amazing selection she offers. Still thinking about that Rebecca Minkoff bag that I should have bought!
Our group of fellow bloggers, stylists and models included Katie Hession of @YOWCityStyle, Jennifer Piitz of Loafers and Polish, Megan Oates of @OOTDOttawa, Sharon Philipose of www.SharonPhilipose.com, and Chantal Sarkisian of @chantsy. When you have the chance, check out these great instagrams and blogs!
Now, on to the fashion!
Lots of love and keep shopping…you’re helping the economy! LOL!

I wish we had nicer consignment stores where I live. We have some popular ones but not as nice as what you have in the photos here. The LV bag is so cute! AND

Thanks! Yes – funnily enough, Ottawa has some amazing consignment shops. You should try some of the online ones like Decades (that one is $$$$ though) and Fashionphile!
Oh I just wrote those down. The ones in Phoenix are crappy. Who want used shoes that retailed for 29.99? Not me!
