Last year, we saw Banana Republic collaborate with Trina Turk for a collection of lightweight, summer-appropriate looks and this year, it’s Milly by Michelle’s turn. Launching on May 30 at select Banana Republic stores and online, these bright, colourful, Hamptons-inspired summer pieces include dresses, tops, shorts and more. It is also Milly’s first attempt at […]
I wasn’t going to post today as we are officially on a summer posting schedule, but I thought I’d let people know what stores to expect at the Toronto Premium Outlets (yes, Premium Outlets as in Woodbury Common Premium Outlets), opening August 1 in Halton Hills, Ontario, right in time for the Civic Holiday/Simcoe Day […]
Holt Renfrew’s Director of Brand Strategy, Alexandra Weston, made a personal appearance at the Bloor Street flagship Wednesday afternoon to formally introduce the H Project.

Recently, I had the chance to speak with Caroline Misan Alvo, founder of Gambita, an online store for petite women. The website, which launched just this past January, after she left her job in the non-profit sector, is a play on being tiny – “gambita” means “little shrimp” in Spanish. At 4’9″, Caroline’s fashion woes […]

Rumour has it that something will be taking over the spot very soon and it’s apparently not a Coach or Prada expansion, but a “luxury brand,” according to Retail Insider. […]
The store may have been open for at least a couple of weeks, but Stuart Weitzman’s Bloor and Avenue Road location held its official opening party Wednesday evening.
