I’ve been sent quite a few books lately – not that it’s a bad thing. While I loved Rhianna Jones’s Parisienne French, I wasn’t as sure about I’d Rather Be Short: 100 Reasons Why It’s Great to be Small by Becky Murphy. As a fellow blogger and petite gal, I disagreed with many of Ms. […]

Dress for Success Toronto, the local chapter of an international organization which helps women achieve economic independence through not only career advice, but also providing them with work-appropriate attire (often from clothing drives) for the interview and for them to start once they successfully get a job, will be holding its third A Heel of a […]

Right after World MasterCard Fashion Week ended, I made my way to the Delicious Food Show, an event featuring many of Canada’s best in delectable delights.
