Christian Louboutin Lands in Yorkville

…and apparently in the perfect location!  According to Retail Insider, the shoe line known for its red soles is going to be moving into the former home of Maison de la Presse later this year.  The gorgeous Victorian architecture makes it ideal for the brand – it DOES have that “glam” effect, after all!  Christian […]

Coach Buys Stuart Weitzman for $574M: My Thoughts

This was announced earlier this week, but I guess that’s what you have to do when you want to be more relevant.  I mean, I haven’t bought anything from Coach in probably a year or more.  I don’t dislike the brand, and I admit that I’ve wandered into boutiques just to look.  It’s just that […]

Paris-based Canadian shoe designer, Tanya Heath has launched her interchangeable shoe line, Tanya Heath Paris, in Toronto’s Yorkville area.  There are quite a few styles to choose from, ranging from pumps which can go from office-friendly to a fun dinner with friends to a gala with just a change of a heel to ankle boots/booties […]

Some Geox Wish List Items Fall 2014

Before this past summer, I never really considered the GEOX brand!  I don’t know why I never thought of them – perhaps it was because never really promoted in the petite blogging community, despite offering smaller sizes in their basics (they go down to size 4 for many styles) – but I’m glad I did.  […]

Instyle for Nine West Fall Launch and a Love-Hate Relationship with Shoes

On Tuesday, InStyle for Nine West held a fall launch event in Toronto’s tony Yorkville area.  Going into the party, I knew that it was unlikely going to find anything that fit – that’s the issue I have with shoe shopping – I have a very small foot (size 4 1/2 or 5, usually), which […]

Online Shoe Shopping Made Easy With shoeme.ca

I recently had the opportunity to speak with Sean Clark, founder of Vancouver-based online shopping destination, shoeme.ca.  This online store carries shoes for men, women as well as kids in a variety of different styles, with brands such as NineWest, Jessica Simpson, Clarks and more – very “standard” affordable mall brands for the most part […]

IFB Project #110: Fall 2013 Boots Line-up

This week, Independent Fashion Bloggers asked us to write about fall boots.  Though it’s still fairly warm in Toronto – this week’s weather will be in the mid 20s C – projected temperatures over the next couple of weeks will drop down to the mid to high teens.  Though not cool enough for boots just […]

Bay Queen Street: Big Shoe Department, Still No Small Sizes

I finally had the chance to visit the new shoe department at Hudson’s Bay, Queen Street.  The new space, which has been touted as the biggest shoe department in Canada (and apparently, second biggest in North America), carries brands ranging from more budget-friendly lines such as Nine West to luxury brands, including Christian Louboutin and […]

Custom Shoes with the Joker’s Closet

Tell me a little bit about The Joker’s Closet.  How did you come up with the idea?  I grew into a habit of finding unique footwear “statement pieces” that would catch people’s eye and urge them to ask questions. Not because of the brand rather because of the cool design ascetic. My love for footwear […]
