I've never walked a "magenta" carpet before, but when it leads up to the door of the fabulous, new, $30 million dollar Holt Renfrew store - I'm there with bells on. Cheering crowds gathered early on Tuesday night to catch a glimpse of all the stars who came out to celebrate at the invite only, VIP party. Pink lights sparkled throughout the three-level, 135,000 sq. ft., Janson Goldstein designed store as over 1,000 guests sipped champagne and lounged amidst labels like Prada, Chanel, Gucci and more. Ladies, grab your credit cards and . . . CHARGE!
