Hello Darlings,
Fashion Week season begins soon and first among the world's most popular fashion festivities is Montreal Fashion Week from September 4th to 7th. Last season, WithLoveGabrielle.com organized a Fabulous Meets Fashion Experience for one lucky reader to attend the show of talented Quebecois designer Melissa Nepton, including backstage access and a chance to meet the designer. This season, we are doing it again but bigger!
Congratulations Silvana Barone on winning the Fabulous Meets Fashion Experience, and to Stephanie Pallotto on winning the Thursday tickets! Silvana's "winning" comment about her favorite three fall trends: "My favorite 3 trends for fall? That’s easy! The colour oxblood on everything from shoes to bags to lipstick, baroque-inspired pieces, and metallic accents on nails!"

For the upcoming show, Melissa Nepton and I would like to invite one reader plus a guest for a Front Row Experience at Montreal Fashion Week, including:
- Front row seating to Melissa Nepton's S/S 2013 show on Tuesday, September 4th.
- Pre-show backstage visit and a collection run through.
- Meet designer Melissa Nepton and the team behind the label.

TWITTER PRIZES: There is an additional prize to WIN two passes for all of the shows on Thursday, September 6th courtesy of Montreal Fashion Week.
Hello Darlings,
The fall collections may have been shown in their full glory during the months of February and March, but it is not until mid-August that retailers welcome their first shipments of fall goodies! And while the fashion world is readying to showcase Spring 2013 on the runways come September, we are preparing for our own challenge to create a perfect cold weather wardrobe. And as most girls know, when it comes to fashion it is best to plan ahead and shop early!

To prepare you for the challenge, my favorite shopping mall — Sherway Gardens— is hosting "Fall Into Style Contest"! From August 20th to September 16th, you have a chance to win 1 of 20 Cadillac Fairview shop! cards along with the grand prize of a $1000 shopping spree at Sherway Garden.To enter, visit Sherway Gardens Facebook page by clicking HERE!
Hello Darlings,
Since 1881, the Canadian Open — currently known as Rogers Cup — has attracted the world's top tennis players. Aside from Wimbledon and U.S. Open, the Canadian Open has one of the longest histories in the sport. Every August, women's and men's competition take place in Toronto and Montreal - alternating the men and women competitions each year. This year, the men are competing in Toronto, and thanks to Fiji Water— an official sponsor of Rogers Cup — one reader and a friend can WIN a VIP experience at Rogers Cup!
Congratulations MICHELLE EASTON on winning the Rogers Cup tickets! PLEASE keep checking in though as we have more great contests coming including one next week from LA VIE EN ROSE

My personal favorite is Roger Federer. He has great hair and is very cute! I am really hoping to meet and interview a few tennis stars while there, including Canada's own star Milos Raonic.
FOR A CHANCE TO WIN:
Please tell me who is your favorite tennis player?
