Local Love List #2: A Biker Gang, Hollywood Comes to Edmonton and a Fab New Place to Shop!

April 7, 2017 By Kari 2 Comments

Local Love List Two-1

  • Congratulations to the Poppy Barley team and Edmonton designer Malorie Urbanovitch for being nominated for Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards! The show is taking place tonight (April 7)  in Toronto. Follow along live from the red carpet tomorrow night – here.
  • Speaking of Poppy Barley, they recently hosted a meaningful event celebrating International Women’s Day. I joined 30 other local women to talk about our city and our future. We met at Lifestyle Meditation and discussed “values” with the crew from lululemon Edmonton. It was an honour to be included. (Those are my black Poppy Barley boots in the photo below!) This is my absolute favourite photo from the event.

Local Love List Two-2

  • Congrats to the team at Central Social Hall on their new renovation! The re-opening goes tomorrow (April 8) with a private event from 7-9, before Central opens to the public at 9:00 p.m. The new menu looks great! 
  • A movie is being filmed in Edmonton right now called Puppy Love, starring Hopper Penn (Sean Penn’s son). They’ve filmed all over the city, including Uncle Albert’s on 124th street a few weeks ago, and most recently in the Bonnie Doon and Strathern neighbourhoods. Sean Penn has reportedly been spotted in Edmonton while his son films, so keep your eyes peeled!

Local Love List Two-4

  • Saks Off Fifth opened a new location in north Edmonton’s Skyview Power Centre (13554 137 Ave). To celebrate, they’re giving away $50 gift certificates every thirty minutes all weekend. See what I picked up from Saks – here!
  • The Orchid Fair is on April 7-9 at The Enjoy Centre. What a way to welcome spring, surrounded by stunning flowers!
  • I love this piece on shopping local from one my my favourite local blogs withjustine.com
  • Well-loved Edmonton photographer Blakes Loates is starting a biker gang! The plan is to go on bicycle adventures every Sunday “from May until the snow flies.” Sounds like the ride will end at a pub or coffee shop. What a fabulous way to get to know your city. More – here.

First time going to Disney? We got so much great a First time going to Disney? We got so much great advice and awesome tips for how to maximize our first time at the park as a family.

➡️ The number one thing I want to pass along is to allow breathing room in your days there. Don't overplan it. Try not to be SO scheduled that you miss the magic. ✨️

Of course you want to have a general plan of the rides you want to hit, your strategy for tackling the pack, etc. but leave space so when suddenly Goofy is walking down the street and your kiddo wants a photo - you have time. 

➡️ Book your hotel and park passes ahead of time for sure. Reserve a character dinner too (we booked ours the day before and got the last spot). 

There are a lot of to-the-minute schedules you'll find out there for how to hit every ride and try all the food in record time but for a family with young kids, I don't recommend it. Just go with the flow and have fun! 🤗

➡️ Make sure to head a few reels back and see how we surprised our seven-year-old with the trip! Ask any questions below. ❤️ Like and save this post if it was helpful for you.

More Disney tips coming to my Reels feed and KariSkelton.com this week!
