A girl can never have too much black (or lip gloss), in my opinion. And that has definitely been the case, historically speaking, when you take a peek into my closet. Though over the past year or so, I’ve been adding more colour, many of my favourites, especially in cooler months, have been black. On […]
This limited edition capsule collection is probably Banana Republic‘s most anticipated collection yet. Available as of Thursday, August 8, both online and in-store, this collection consists of nearly 40 pieces including dresses, sweaters and accessories. Issa London soared into popularity this side of the Atlantic in 2010 when Kate Middleton (now Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge) […]
This is apparently the case, according to posts on Retail Insider and Style Democracy, and according to them, big names, including Ferragamo (set to open its first Toronto store at Yorkdale Shopping Centre very soon) may be on their way in. But big names “right” for Hazelton Lanes? Don’t they want a street front presence? […]
Actually, this isn’t a rumour. According to Retail Insider, the Roots store on the corner of Bloor and Bellair Street in Yorkville is moving across the street to MAC’s old storefront (89 Bloor West), a location that has been sitting empty for more than two years. This is disappointing, considering how much smaller the store […]
The much-anticipated mall opens tomorrow (August 1) with some 85 stores, including Tory Burch, Kate Spade and Michael Kors. Other stores include J.Crew Factory (the second in Ontario) and Banana Republic Factory as well as Hudson’s Bay’s first outlet store. Ports 1961, which left Bloor Street last year is reappearing as an outlet shop at […]
Gambita, the online-only, petite-exclusive store (we profiled them earlier this year) is holding a model search for an upcoming photo shoot! This is probably one of the few chances shorter women under 5’4″ would ever get a chance to model (unless, of course, they’re celebrities like Lady Gaga), since many contests and agencies that claim […]
According to the Globe and Mail, the deal between Saks Fifth Avenue and Hudson’s Bay Company (which also owns Saks rival, Lord & Taylor) was finalized Sunday evening at $2.9 billion. This acquisition could mean that Saks, which has long been rumoured to make its way up to Canada, may finally come into fruition, as will […]
Non-Cantonese speakers are always asking me how to say “hello” in the language. The truth is, there isn’t really a way to do so. On the phone, one might say “wai?” but that’s not super-formal. And “nay ho” and even “nay ho mah” isn’t appropriate all the time, either (a little bit too stuffy). I […]
Last week, it was announced that the Bloor and Bathurst eyesore, Honest Ed’s and its surrounding “Mirvish Village” are up for sale. I’ve had about a week to think about it, and have gone back and forth as to whether this is a good thing. And I’m still a bit undecided. But one thing that […]
I was recently at a beauty-related event where models were used to show off the product. Most of the models there were of the fashion variety – very tall and extremely thin. This is quite common at non-fashion events I’ve attended and I’ve always pondered on why it is. After all, the models there were […]
