I have to admit that I have a pretty decent-sized shoe collection as well. Not like Jenna Lyons (see video below where she discusses nearly 300 pair shoe collection) or Carrie Bradshaw, but probably fairly substantial for someone with a hard-to-find size. I have walked out of stores disappointed and sometimes, have had sales people […]
Murale is one of my favourite beauty stores. The stores have amazing selection, with brands such as Stila, Bobbi Brown, Benefit and Fusion. Murale has six retail locations across Canada (Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver), all with a “try-before-you-buy-without-associates-behind-the-counter” concept in addition to an online shop, where customers can make purchases on luxury […]

Can I say how excited I am for this? Yorkdale’s next expansion (will have nearly 300,000 square feet of shopping space) is slated to be completed in 2016 will include Nordstrom, according to a post on the mall’s blog.

Last week, I had the wonderful opportunity to preview pieces available at Vaughan’s newest shopping experience, That’s Italy Fashion District (aka That’s Italy). However, instead of going up to the store itself, select pieces from the store were brought to the Church Apprevio Bar on Queen and Dovercourt. And despite being called a “preview,” in […]

Breakfast goodies included mini blueberry pancakes, muesli and yogurt as well as a delicious mini smoothie made with various fruits and kale. As for the show […]
For many years, Toronto’s brides-to-be looked for their wedding gowns from various boutiques like White, Vera Wang and Ritché. Despite being a large city, no department store had a bridal salon. This will all end in early 2014, when Kleinfeld Bridal (yes, THAT Kleinfeld) opens a 20,000 square foot shop at the Queen Street store […]
Gotstyle, Toronto’s favourite menswear shop and styling service has launched a women’s department in their 6,700 square foot Distillery District location. Like menswear, women will have the chance to not only shop contemporary Canadian and international designers, but also like the guys, receive style services including how to shop as well as style and trend […]
As most Torontonians know, Yorkdale is the go-to mall for first-in-Canada launches these days. Brands that have made their Canadian debut at the mall include J.Crew, Top Shop, LOFT and now, Mulberry, Zara HOME (the first North American store) and White House | Black Market, all which will open later this year. While I love […]
