Last week I was lucky enough to attend a taping of Cityline, with my friend Jen. We were super excited for it, because it was a “Fashion Friday” episode, featuring a segment with our favourite beauty editor, Dave Lackie. Since it aired earlier today, and I won’t be spoiling the episode anymore, here are some pictures from our day.

When you first arrive at Cityline, you check in at the front desk, and are taken to a waiting room, where you can hang up your coat, take a seat, and chat with the other audience members. We were given a little piece of paper with all the social media handles, so we could tweet and instagram all of our photos. We then watched a cute video where host Tracy Moore gave a look behind the scenes of the show, as well as audience member tips such as: Be natural. Don’t chew gum – you’ll regret seeing that image on tv! Then we went downstairs, took a seat, and waited for the taping to begin.
During the breaks Tracy comes out and chats with the audience 🙂
Dean McDermott was also there filming a cooking segment for another day, to promote his new cookbook.

And of course, the highlight of the episode – Dave showing us the latest in beauty! It was basically like Oprah’s favourite things – You get a perfume, and you get a perfume…EVERYBODY GETS A PERFUME! (and more!)
Post-makeover photo!
At the end of taping, each group got to take a photo with Tracy. Of course, we had to ask her the details on her FAB outfit of the day – because I need that outfit in my life.
I also took a photo with Jacquie Hutchinson of Almay, who I met this past November at the Revlon #LoveIsOnCA launch. She did a great job during the makeup segment, as well as on her makeover model, using Almay products.
Every time Jen and I see Dave we ALWAYS need what we call our “obligatory Dave picture”.
Here’s a shot of the amazingly generous goodie bag that the entire audience received, courtesy of Dave. Head to his twitter (@DaveLackie) because he has giveaways happening right now, featuring Burberry, and Dior – and it’s open worldwide! All it takes is a follow and a retweet.

Afterward we went for brunch (I ADORE brunch) at The Senator as recommended by Dave, which was located nearby. It was on “You Gotta Eat Here”, so I was pretty pumped to try it out. Sandwiches, and eggs, and fries, oh my! Very tasty – we’ll definitely have to go back pre-11:30 am, so we can get some eggs benny.
Group selfie!
What a fun morning! Big thanks to everyone at Cityline, and to Dave for showing me and Jen a great day. If you didn’t get a chance to check out the episode, it’s on the CityTV website now.
