Nordstrom’s Canadian Arrival is in 2014…

Marketing and Pricing: J.Crew Sells Leggings for $650 US

Some of you may have seen my tweet yesterday questioning a pair of leggings from J.Crew’s latest update, selling for $650 (and over $760 in Canada).  I realize that this is from their “collection” line, which is always much higher-priced, considering the material and such, but did it have to be that much higher? And […]

Anthropologie Cardigan: Why Don’t the Colours Match?

When I received the September Anthropologie catalogue, one cardigan, the Gilt Floribunda Cardi, really caught my eye.  In the catalogue (as with the posed shot with a model on a set), it had a gorgeous deep teal shade and the pattern, which were leaves, were a golden yellow colour.  The close-up product shot (with a […]

Fashion’s Night Out Toronto: THIS THURSDAY!

Fashion’s Night out is later this week and stores across the city are participating.  While it seems that participating locations are quite spread out (largely concentrated in the Bloor-Yorkville area and Yorkdale Shopping Centre.  The Toronto Eaton Centre is also involved, but it seems like it’s in a much smaller scale than Yorkdale. Except for […]
