Marissa Webb Debuts at New York Fashion Week

Presented as an installation on Saturday, this debut collection by former J.Crew designer, Marissa Webb, is definitely influenced by her experience with the company.  Artsy, yet preppy (but not really “bohreppy” (Boho Prep)), the spring/summer 2013 looks include brightly coloured pieces, basic blacks and whites (including a white fit and flare dress that could be […]

Smashbox and Steven Khan Photo Event at Sephora Bloor Street

Right in time for TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival for those of you not from the city), Sephora on Bloor Street hosted a “red carpet” (complete with a red carpet outside of the store) photography event featuring makeovers from Smashbox and a mini photo session with celebrity photographer Steven Khan (who has photographed stars like […]

Rebecca Minkoff’s Boho Fun Spring 2013 Collection

Warm weather-friendly brightly coloured pieces mixed with whites dominate Rebecca Minkoff’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection.  In addition, tends that were “it” in 2012 continue next season, including patterned pants. Though many of the pieces, especially the more flowy looks and soft, comfortable shorts, signal those who are young, fun and carefree – boho, if you will.  […]

Celebrating FNO at AIME, Holt Renfrew, Hazelton Lanes and More

Canadian designer Monica Mei opened her AIME boutique and showroom for the first time last night.  Part of Toronto’s first Fashion’s Night Out (FNO), people not only got to see the latest AIME collection, but also nibble on appetizers from Elizabeth Hill Catering and listen to music spun by Tunesy.   The interior of Monica’s […]

Fashion’s Night Out Toronto Loot!!

Isn’t this bag gorgeous?  Looks vintage, doesn’t it?  The bag is by Sneha Varma and was purchased at the Toronto Fashion Incubator/Stylicity event held at Hazelton Lanes at Fashion’s Night Out, and it was my only actual purchase.  The bag also comes in black and blue and has both a shorter shoulder strap as well […]

Fighter-inspired BCBG Collection Lacks Colour for Spring/Summer 2013

Unlike the regular line (and especially the 2012 collections), BCBG’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection was not exactly Herve Leger Redux (seems to be a “thing” for Max Azria these days – this season, BCBG boutiques are filled with bodycon/bandage dresses that look like they were reworked from previous Herve Leger collections). The collection is filled with […]

Toronto International Film Festival Opens TODAY

I always tell people that in Toronto, the unofficial start of fall is not marked by the start of school, but the start of the Toronto International Film Festival.  Running until next Saturday, September 15, this annual event is often seen as a predictor for the upcoming awards season.  While I won’t be able to […]

A Four Course Tasting Menu at Scarpetta Toronto

For my birthday, my husband and I celebrated by having dinner at Scarpetta’s only non-US location.  Scarpetta, which means “little shoe” or that crusty piece of bread used to soak up sauce at the end of the meal is located at the trendy Thompson Hotel.  Founded by celebrity chef Scott Conant, there are also locations […]

A Birthday Dinner or Greta Constantine Worn Two Ways

This past Saturday, my husband took me to dinner at Scarpetta at Toronto’s Thompson Hotel (you can read my review of the restaurant over at DelectablyChic!).  I wore my blue Greta Constantine dress once again (the dress has had a lot of wear over the past few months, ranging from weddings to a recent Greta […]

Fashion’s Night Out Toronto: THIS THURSDAY!

Fashion’s Night out is later this week and stores across the city are participating.  While it seems that participating locations are quite spread out (largely concentrated in the Bloor-Yorkville area and Yorkdale Shopping Centre.  The Toronto Eaton Centre is also involved, but it seems like it’s in a much smaller scale than Yorkdale. Except for […]
