Day 2: TIFF 2013 Party Wrap

The location:

SodaStream presents The Railway Man at Live at the Hive

The vibe:

Live at the Hive boasts a nice mix of airy spacious loft with hardwood floors and vintage furniture punctuated with soft candlelight and indirect lighting (basically all of my favourite things) - plus there's a hedged-in outdoor patio to allow for some cool night air without  any prying eyes from the street or Brassaii's foot traffic.

Famous faces spotted: Railway Man star Nicole Kidman looked divine - and oh-so-tiny - in her Altuzarra ensemble, Louis Vuitton shoes and Fred Leighton jewelry. The star held court inside, chatting to friends and guests from one of the vintage sofas.

Meanwhile, the patio boasted the film's hunky men: Jeremy Irvine and Colin Firth. Both seemed to be in great spirits talking to partygoers and having a laugh. (Firth looked particularly delicious in his dark framed glasses and classic black suit.)

Memorable moments:

Jeremy Irvine and Nicole Kidman signed a SodaStream Source machine to be auctioned off at the end of TIFF. The proceeds will be  donated to Earth Day, in honour of the company's mandate to eliminate the bottle and save our planet.

Raiding the candy bar with Flare magazine's Andrew Lovesey and The Social's Lainey Liu - candy watches and sour watermelon slices for all!

Notable nibbles:

Though I didn't indulge, it seemed everyone was raving about the lobster bacon rolls; they may have stolen the spotlight from the night's stars at one point.

Cocktails consumed: A SodaStream mojito - bubbly and fresh!
