I recently had the chance to speak with Suzy Kellems Dominik, who loaned her couture collection to the latest Elite Model Look competition, a model search hosted by that top agency, which was held in Shanghai. Suzy also acted as the Couture and Culture Correspondent, where she held a “boot camp” for the contestants explaining […]
Toronto blog Dainty Girl hosted a shopping night at Fresh Collective‘s Queen and Palmerston location Tuesday evening. Fresh Collective, which has several locations in Toronto as well as an online presence, sells predominantly Toronto-based designers that are fairly budget-friendly (most pieces aren’t much higher than the low-mid $100s).

Yesterday, Research in Motion (okay, BlackBerry – new stock symbols are BB (TSX) and BBRY (NYSE)), announced its two new devices, the Q10 and Z10 both operating under the revamped BlackBerry 10 system. These devices, of which one (Z10) is touch screen and the other (Q10), a keyboard, features a supposedly improved camera (though not […]
The constantly evolving Yorkville area of Toronto is making changes once again. Since our piece last month, not only has hoarding gone up for the new Tiffany & Co. store (moving next to Louis Vuitton later this year), but it’s been confirmed that Stuart Weitzman will be moving into the Ports 1961 store, which has […]
I last wrote about DT Bistro almost three years ago, first about their brunch and then again, their prix fixe dinner. This restaurant, located on Harbord Road between Spadina and Bathurst, was actually where my husband and I got our wedding cake (after a very long search). A bit has changed since the last time […]

Like 2012, the event featured a chair auction with proceeds going to the OneXOne children’s foundation. In 2012, the auction raised over $30,000 for the organization. This year, 19 […]
The beauty event, Powder Puff, was held at Holt Renfrew’s Bloor Street store in Toronto Tuesday evening. Featuring special guest, Emily Weiss from Into the Gloss, the online beauty publication, who had a brief interview with Lisa Tant (VP, Fashion Editor at Holt Renfrew), the event was very much make-up and beauty centric. Make-overs, manicures […]
An article in the Telegraph in the UK published on Monday said that the way we have calculated BMI for years is actually inaccurate. It made taller people (over 6′ or so) seem heavier, while shorter people (under 5’5″ or so) were seen as slimmer. The new method reverses the fact, so that those who […]
When I was in high school back in the mid-90s, the “it” thing was to wear green or blue nail polish. While this was completely banned for hands at my school (strict uniform code), it didn’t stop many of us from wearing it on our feet, including me. The it brand back then was Hard […]
