BCBG Dress for a Bat Mitzvah

This weekend, my husband and I drove down to Rochester, NY to attend his cousin’s Bat Mitzvah.  Though we’ve been married for nearly two years and together for close to seven, this was my  first bat mitzvah service – I had attended many receptions before.  It was a weekday service at a Reform temple, and […]

Yorkdale Celebrates Anticipated Stores With a Party

After announcing a short list of new stores, many of them first-to-market, on Tuesday, Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre celebrated with media at a cocktail party at Dine on 3 Wednesday where media had the chance to meet with some representatives from stores that will be opening their doors at the mall later this year or […]

Trina Turk for Banana Republic Swirl Dress

Sorry for taking so long to post this! I’ve been crazy-busy wrapping up the DelectablyChic! Social (which was pretty  good, by the way) and just didn’t have time to take pictures.  The dress is so light weight and summer-ready and I’ve worn it out a couple of times already, including to a Father’s Day dinner […]

Ann Taylor Fall/Winter 2012 Preview

Ann Taylor, which will be opening its first Toronto (and Canadian) store later this year, held a fall preview recently at the historical Carlu at College Park.  With a theme of 1960s Parisian style with a pop of colour, Torontonians can expect lots of black, teals and magentas.  Style does not deviate very much from […]

Trina Turk for Banana Republic, Part 1: The Pisces Top

One of the items I purchased from the Trina Turk collection that Banana Republic recently released was the Pisces top.  I had thought about getting it in the warm combination (pinks, oranges and yellows), but decided on the cool version (turquoises, greens, blues, etc…) as it was more of a contrast than a compliment on […]

Trina Turk for Banana Republic Loot

Some of the Banana Republic stores hosted an after 5 event to celebrate the launch of their Trina Turk collaboration where people got to shop for the looks as well as enjoy some delicious refreshments.  The collection of brightly coloured, resort-inspired pieces includes a very good selection of petite sizing, including tops, skirts (well, skirt […]

Lucian Matis Sample Sale Item: Charcoal Grey Floral Top

Canadian designer (and Project Runway Canada season 1 runner up) Lucian Matis held a sample sale this past weekend and I went and made a few purchases, including the top below (the other two were dresses, and will be posted later this week as I am considering one of the dresses for the DelectablyChic! Social […]

Yorkdale’s Dine on 3: Food Court Goes Upscale

Yorkdale’s food court, Dine on 3, is no ordinary mall food court.  In fact, it isn’t even a typical more “upscale” food court like the Eaton Centre’s Urban Eatery.  Taking over what was the upper floors of Eatons (and then Sears),  outlets include the usual suspects of KFC, Subway and A&W as well as more […]

Where Are The Umbrellas?

This past March, I lost my umbrella – it probably fell out of my “Fashion Week Kit” somehow, and I was never able to get it back (I didn’t realize it was gone until a week later, anyway).  So as soon as I discovered that it was gone, I started looking for a new one.  […]

Ann Taylor Opening Two Stores in Toronto

This was announced Thursday, but it isn’t clear based on the articles whether this means that there are actually two Ann Taylor stores, or if one is LOFT.  If it is indeed two Ann Taylor stores, my guess is that one of them will be at Yorkdale (long rumoured) and another will either be on […]
