Held last Wednesday, first with a preview dinner at Parts and Labour, followed by a more media-oriented event at the Hoxton, Toronto favourite, Greta Constantine, presented the Fall/Winter 2013 collection. The upcoming looks, which feature designing duo, Stephen Wong and Kirk Pickersgill’s signature architectural works of art and more “standard” pieces with not only the […]
With the temperatures well into the mid-20s Celsius, it’s time to turn over to a permanent summer wardrobe – something that I will be wearing for the next few months. Because it can get quite humid in Toronto in the warmer months, I tend to wear very casual dresses or skirts over pants – though […]
…but not before a media preview, which was held on May 30. I wasn’t able to stay very long at the event due to a Junior League dinner, but still didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to snap a few shots and browse items before the store opened the following day. As with […]
Have you ever wanted a dress named after a familiar street? If you live in Toronto, you got it. Address Apparel, which had its fall preview recently, is a Toronto-based dress line that really shows the love for our city (get it? A DRESS APPAREL and ADDRESS APPAREL??).

Launched just yesterday, her white and rose gold collection for Ann Taylor features summer-ready dresses, skirts, tops as well as accessories. The collection was officially launched online in Wednesday morning and at Ann Taylor stores later in the […]
Can I say that I am IN LOVE with Danier’s upcoming Fall/Winter pieces? And I don’t just mean their coats and accessories! Sure, there are definitely clutches, coats and bags that I love, but one of my absolute favourite pieces is a mixed media pencil dress, which would, believe it or not, work very well […]
…or merely annoying? Yes, this is coming from someone who, at one point, ran a petite-focused blog (Shorty Stories is technically still “live” but no longer updates).
