Unlike many of the other shows so far this year, this collection […]
Christine Stoesser Marla Silva, owner/operator of danceology in Liberty Village, is a firm believer that learning how to dance is a sure way to improve self-confidence. Silva, 37, oozes confidence herself in her movements, her manner of speaking and the way she tells her story. So how did Silva single-handedly come to own her own […]
The show was an hour late (or, in fashion-speak, half an hour), but it was definitely worth it. Prada‘s Fall/Winter 2011 line’s all about flight. Ranging from aviator sunglasses to caps and big button coats the collection also had vibes several decades, ranging from mod 1960s to the 1980s. The “it” item, fur, was also a big […]

Cynthia Cheng Mintz OK, it comes to no surprise that the 1970s are back. However, Gucci, which is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, takes it even one step further, making the 1970s even more extreme. The collection’s most dominant colours were in the greens and teals. Purples and burnt oranges/tans were also seen. Fall/Winter 2011 is filled with fur-trimmed […]
Well, according to Lisa Tant’s (Flare Magazine) Tweet this morning, anyway. No further details were given, though there are at least two brands that come to mind.

At Porchetta & Co., you only have two choices: A slow-roast pork sandwich or a slow-roast pork plate (called the Porchetta Sandwich and Porchetta Plate, respectively). There are, however, many different sauces and accompaniments to choose from. From cheeses to mushrooms to braised rapini, these can be used as toppings (sauces and toppings range between $0.25 […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz Mary Katrantzou presented her very artsy pieces at the last day of London Fashion Week’s Autumn/Winter 2011 Collections (the official last day is actually Wednesday, but only men’s wear is being presented). Resembling pieces of hand-painted antique china, these very colourful pieces are certainly different from what many other designers are presenting for next season. […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz Well, UberSocial is back now, complete with ring tone alerts (an updated app was created this morning due to a glitch in the one released last night). During the Great Uber Outtage of 2011 this past weekend, I tried two alternatives Twitter alternatives on my Blackberry, HootSuite and SocialScope. Both apps, unlike UberSocial or […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz Perhaps one of the most iconic brands of Britain, Burberry presented its Autumn/Winter 2011 line Monday afternoon. The runway looked very long compared to other shows, and many of the models donned po’boy caps. The “it” look, it seems are belted coats, with several looks, both shorter and longer, being presented this […]
