We must say that the combination of Carbon Environmental Boutique’s unique and stylish location, the fashion that was really made out of garbage, d’lish’s truly delicious bites, as well as the beautiful and wonderful attendees really made this event one hot eco-inspired night.

Thank-you again, to everyone who made it out to Divertido’s Eco-Lounge event on June 10, 2009. We had a blast seeing past attendees and meeting some new ones as well. We are also very excited to announce that the pictures are already up on our website, thanks to Calvin Wallace and Nino Roy.

We are excited to announce that us and our client’s, Megan and Mailie,  were featured in Edmonton’s Avenue magazine in the May issue under the “City Detour”  section.  Dont forget to pick up your copy this month or read it here.

Thank-you to everyone who has shared in helping make Divertido a success so far!

The Latte “Lounge” at Spinelli’s Bar Italia proved to be another wonderful event featuring wine, beer, deserts, and of course a great crowd.  Thank-you to everyone who came out on April 29th for this event – it is always a pleasure seeing past attendees and meeting new.

A special thank-you also goes out to our sponsors, Spinelli’s located at the Italian Center Shop in Little Italy, Sleeman’s Breweries, Yellowtail, Edmontonians, Katya Pekh our photographer and of course our founding sponsor Lexus of Edmonton. 

The photos for this event will be up soon!
