E-commerce is back at The Bay! Many of the brands found in the historic Canadian department store can now be bought right from the comfort of your home, office or local coffee shop, just with a click of a mouse. Luxury labels found in The Room, however, are not available. Anyway, I recently picked up […]
Lou Lou Magazine’s Shop ‘Til You Drop held its Toronto event last night. Shoppers braved the on-and-off rain for the amazing with good discounts, delicious mini desserts at many of the stores and most of all, a great deal of fun! There were styling tips from Banana Republic and Winners (Winners had an emphasis on […]
One of my first stops in Montreal was to Très Chic Styling, an appointment-only clothing concept located on St-Laurent which sells designer clothing at reduced prices. Brands Très Chic Styling carry include BCBG, Hervé Légerr, Elizabeth and James, Tory Burch and more. There are also pieces from local Montreal designers. When I was there, they […]
…or any Canadian city, for that matter. Officially, anyway. For those who don’t know, Fashion’s Night Out (FNO), which started in New York City by Vogue in 2009, has taken the United States and the world by storm. Several countries, including the UK, Australia, Spain and Taiwan take part. Stores offer discounts or specials to […]
J.Crew was not the only new store opening at Yorkdale in August. One of the others is a flagship for premium denim brand, 7 For All Mankind.

We Torontonians know that fall is right around the corner not only because shops are selling fall and back-to-school things, but also because the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), which starts on September 8, is once again the talk of the town. Whether you’re media, working and chilling at a cafe or an attendee at […]
Due to public outcry, J.Crew is now absorbing all charges on duty for Canadian orders made on their site, according to The Globe and Mail. The changes started this morning. This means that the base price listed on the website will be the price that Canadian shoppers pay online, excluding sales tax. J.Crew also plans […]
If you read my earlier post about J.Crew’s opening at Yorkdale, you would have noticed my complaint about the new online prices. This is still something I’m trying to make sense of. After all, I had assumed that adjusting the prices to reflect what’s sold at the Yorkdale store would mean that it would include […]
The sophisticated prep doesn’t need to shop online anymore! Toronto welcomed the first Canadian J.Crew store at Yorkdale Shopping Centre yesterday. Though this location sells women’s clothing only, it offers a good selection, including a wide range of sizes. For those of us who’re tiny, select pieces are available in 00 and most t-shirts are […]
Montreal is absolutely AMAZING. My recent trip was only my third time in the city and my second as an adult (I was only eight or nine when I went there for the first time. Really too young to do anything). Of course, shopping was a MUST. While I prefer to look for things that […]
