Located at Yonge and Davisville, Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, celebrated its Toronto opening with a reception Wednesday night. Guests and staff mingled while listening to live musicians playing near the entrance and nibbled on hors d’oeuvres by Food Dudes. Items served included mini sliders as well as salmon tartar on lotus root. In addition, guests […]
I saw a Tweet from @hmusa recently about the fact that the plus department in the US is rebranding from Big & Beautiful to the more appropriate H&M+ name. Sizes this department will carry will range between 14 and 24. While I knew that H&M had plus sizes, I can’t help but wonder if they’ll […]
What I love about Nanette Lepore is her constant use of bright, bold colours, no matter the season. There was very little black or grey and in general, the collections tend to arguably be predictable, but one can’t help but love the fact her use of colours just brighten up a dark winter day. There […]

I’ve been thinking on and off about posting this for a while now, and since Transit City has been in the news lately, I thought this was a good time to write this post. I’ve always wondered why Transit City or subsequent Ford renditions of the future of the TTC – Karen Stintz-approved or not […]
Always with a touch of preppiness, Tory Burch’s Fall/Winter 2012-2013 collection is no exception.

Also included were the floral detailing found in many of the looks, something that is more often seen for spring […]
With a theme of 1960s London, going into the disco era of the 1970s, Betsey Johnson’s Fall/Winter 2012 collection opens with a short video of girls screaming at who’s presumably The Beatles. The collection was full of bright colours, miniskirts, floppy hats, chunky sweater dresses and po’boy caps we see a typical Betsey production of […]
This little delight of a restaurant opened just over a year ago just a stone’s throw from brunch favourite, County General. Owned by Nice-born Jean-Pierre Boué and Nadia Moalic, Lafayette Bistro offers a delicious petite menu with classic French fare such as boeuf bourguinion, foie gras and several selections of fish. This is a place to […]
Wow, all I can say is WOW. Marc Jacobs’ Fall/Winter collection was definitely a production. With steps leading down to a raised, curved runway (set design by Rachel Feinstein), that some might say was inspired by Dr. Seuss, the presentation was definitely all out big, including the clothes themselves. Most interestingly was the music. For […]

From shops like David’s Tea to tea sommelier programs at schools like George Brown College and “designer” brands of teas, it’s definitely catching on by the mainstream. Container of Sloane Tea’s Heavenly Cream, one of their […]
