The financial district’s favourite cupcake shop opened its Yorkville spot today (April 26). Come on by for mini cupcakes or their (generous) regular sized ones, and definitely try this week’s specials, hazelnut on chocolate or pina colada on vanilla, which will only be offered until tomorrow. Prairie Girl Bakery’s Yorkville location is on 150 Bloor […]
Back in September, I reviewed Scarpetta at the Thompson Hotel in Toronto and mentioned that I’d like to visit all five of the restaurants in North America. I had assumed that my second restaurant would be in New York, but instead, it became Las Vegas. Scarpett was the first restaurant I went to during my […]
I’m sure many of you know by now that Lacoste basically moved out of Yorkville overnight, much like French Connection did a few weeks prior. Rumour has it that something will be taking over the spot very soon and it’s apparently not a Coach or Prada expansion, but a “luxury brand,” according to Retail Insider. […]
When people think of the Danforth, they think Greek. However, there are a few non-Greek restaurants in the area such as Pizzeria Libretto, and, if you’re into something more relaxing and loungey, The Local Company (aka Local Co.). This restaurant, located just a few steps west of Pape station, has delicious menu that is influenced […]
The store may have been open for at least a couple of weeks, but Stuart Weitzman’s Bloor and Avenue Road location held its official opening party Wednesday evening. Located at the old Ports boutique, the layout of the space is long and narrow, different from the Eaton Centre location, which is more open. Size-wise, it […]
While the weather was dreadful last week, things turned for the better by the time I attended the LOFT summer preview event earlier this week. Tired of winter, and winter weather in general, not only was I happy to see the warmer weather, but also to see the warm weather clothing that have either already […]
I have to admit that I have a pretty decent-sized shoe collection as well. Not like Jenna Lyons (see video below where she discusses nearly 300 pair shoe collection) or Carrie Bradshaw, but probably fairly substantial for someone with a hard-to-find size. I have walked out of stores disappointed and sometimes, have had sales people […]
Just came back from an extended weekend in Las Vegas, a trip I went with my husband and my parents. While we were there, we we tried many delicious restaurants (including two buffets), and I am now working on a post for a few of the places where we ate, ranging from buffets to sit-downs […]
Murale is one of my favourite beauty stores. The stores have amazing selection, with brands such as Stila, Bobbi Brown, Benefit and Fusion. Murale has six retail locations across Canada (Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver), all with a “try-before-you-buy-without-associates-behind-the-counter” concept in addition to an online shop, where customers can make purchases on luxury […]
