Petite sizes, especially petite-exclusive collections, while growing, are hard to come by. Often seen as something for a very mature market, many petite women avoid them like the plague. However, things are changing, especially with Jeetly, the newest entry to the petite-exclusive market. Founded by 5’1” Jess Jeetly, the small UK-based collection of work-appropriate dresses, […]
Anyone who has been to the Toronto Eaton Centre over the past week or two may have noticed the hoarding at what used to be Brown’s Shoes (which will should re-open at Sephora’s former home in a few weeks). It did have me wondering – why on Earth would LOFT open on the third floor, […]
With the sixth season making its debut on AMC in April, it’s time for another Mad Men collection at Banana Republic. As the show heads deeper into the 1960s, the looks are more inspired by the “mod” look than the early 1960s glam of the Kennedys. Many of the women’s pieces are a nod to […]
Is it just me, or are many “fashion” blogs turning into “shopping” blogs? I’m not talking about sites that primarily discuss new finds, but general style blogs. It seems that for many people, just about every post has something new in it, and these are bloggers who post at least on a weekly basis. How […]
Recently, I was contacted by the PR rep for Jeetly, based out of the UK. This is an online-only, petite-exclusive collection that only launched this past fall. The collection consists of blouses, skirts and dresses, all appropriate for a moderately conservative office. I was lucky enough to get a discount to purchase two of the […]

For those of us outside of Toronto and the US who’ve been longing for Ann Taylor and LOFT, the wait is over. International shipping is here! Using FiftyOne (the same company that the American GAP Inc. sites use), both stores are now shipping to many countries, including the UK, Australia, UAE, Taiwan, Bermuda, Hong Kong […]
Presented off site in what looked like a hotel ballroom, glamorous looks were definitely expected, whether it is colour saturated or basic black. It’s always best when designers don’t over-do the black for their fall/winter lines, and this was definitely the case with Tory Burch. While there is black in the collection (there has to […]
I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed by Carolina Herrera. The looks are always gorgeous, with season-appropriate colours, and is always lady-like and grown-up. And this continues for the Fall/Winter 2013 season. Shiny, sparkly embellished, many made with silk, abound in this collection, but unlike other designers, the pieces manage to stay within Ms. Herrera’s […]
It’s been a very busy schedule over the past few days with meetings and seminars, so I’m finally beginning to catch up with the goings on with New York Fashion Week thanks to modern technology and communications. With shows not only streaming live, but archived on YouTube, it’s easy to watch shows at a later […]
BCBGMaxAzria is heading back to the early 90s with the Fall/Winter 2013 collection. Long loose tunics and dresses, accompanied with skinny jeans and sloppy styles gives off a grungy vibe, though definitely more updated. The look is a little neater, more hipster, but definitely not for everyone. Colour-wise, there is an emphasis once again, on […]
