Big Names, ‘Unknowns’ and Label Snobs

I have to admit that my closet is a mix of both bigger name brands and independents/up-and-coming lines.  I’d prefer if I’d had more of the latter, but access is often an issue.  Even the up-and-coming lines that make it to FAT or Toronto Fashion Week are already at least somewhat known, especially to those […]

The May long weekend is next week for us Canadians and the week after in the US, so it’s officially sandals time!  Here are some of our favourites going into the unofficial start of summer: These sandals will go well with most of your wardrobe – especially lower wedges (Banana Republic).  I also thought the […]

Tory Opens in Toronto!

While I didn’t get the opportunity to go to Tory Burch‘s preview event for media on May 3 (wouldn’t have had time anyway, considering it was the same night as TFI25), I did get a chance to finally check it out.  As I didn’t want to brave the lines on opening day and subsequent weekend, […]

America’s Next Top Model LIVE Toronto on Until May 6!

Just got back from America’s Next Top Model LIVE, a shopping, fashion and beauty event going right now at the Metro Convention Centre in Toronto.  The event features several hundred vendors ranging from clothing and accessories to beauty products as well as fashion shows and even wine and sushi bars.  Many of the vendors have […]

Elle Canada and Creating Scents at Intermix Toronto

Elle Canada held a spring style and shopping event at Intermix in Yorkville Thursday evening.  Though no one from the magazine actually spoke about trends, many of the pieces were tagged as looks recommended by editor-in-chief, Noreen Flanagan as an “Editor’s Choice.”  I didn’t agree with some of her picks, however, as they looked like […]

Casual Dresses and Skirts for Warm Weather Wear

Premium Outlets Opening in Halton Hills, Ontario in 2013

Premium Outlets’ Woodbury Common is one of my favourite outlet malls to visit when I’m in the New York area.  With stores like Prada, YSL and Ferragamo as well as factory stores for Banana Republic, J.Crew and Coach, what more could a girl ask for?  Soon, we Canucks won’t have to go across the border […]
