Montreal: Shopping on Ste-Catherine and Area

Montreal is absolutely AMAZING.  My recent trip was only my third time in the city and my second as an adult (I was only eight or nine when I went there for the first time.  Really too young to do anything).  Of course, shopping was a MUST.  While I prefer to look for things that […]

Fashion Blogging vs. Style Blogging: This Webitor’s Opinion

Some people may think they are one and the same, but I think this is not the case.  In fact, they are, in many ways, very different.  The fashion blogger is usually dressed in the latest “it” styles (even if it looks ridiculous on them) and are, to a certain extent, the newest socialites (cyberites?).  […]

A Guide to Making Perfect Ribs

There is something very primal about a nice, sloppy rack of ribs. Maybe it’s because you’re forced to eat with your hands, tearing apart the meaty morsels. Maybe it’s the cooking method- cooking ribs is a process that usually involves fire. Perhaps it’s simply because you can’t eat a plate of ribs without getting sauce […]

Judge: Christian Louboutin Can’t Have Exclusivity to Red Soled Shoes

I saw this on Twitter earlier and read further in the Globe and Mail and NY Mag.  U.S District Court Judge Victor Marrero has refused a request from Christian Louboutin to stop YSL from selling red soled shoes, citing that they had the exclusive trademark.  However, the judge has said that Louboutin’s claim of the […]

Webitor’s Picks: Gorgeous Burgundies that Can Be Worn NOW!

Bordeaux, burgundy or whatever you want to call it, deep reds are IT for the fall.  They’re everywhere, from bags to clothes to shoes and cosmetics.  I wore burgundy (and grey) every day for six years when I was at the Bishop Strachan School (BSS), and though I don’t wear them together anymore, burgundy still […]

Sharing a Meal – From the Same Plate… Yay or Nay?

I recentlly had lunch at one of those “nicer” fast food joints – you know, the kind that charges you like $8 for a sandwich without a drink.  The place we went to only had communal tables, and a couple sitting across from us ordered a salad.  To share.  And eaten from the same bowl.  […]
