The Versace for H&M collaboration hits stores in Canada this weekend (launched today in Europe). I’m probably going to line up, but I know that it’s going to be a zoo. In fact, I’m expecting concert tickets style lines by 7 am – one hour before the store even opens. I’ve been to these events […]
The National Women’s Show took place this past weekend in Toronto. Billing itself as the “Ultimate Girl’s Day Out,” it was truly a Brandapalooza with more than 450 exhibits ranging from “food and wine sampling, fashion shows, celebrity guests, free makeovers, health, wellness & beauty secrets, cooking demos, home renovation advice and travel ideas!” The […]
As a petite girl — short and small framed — I have always been jealous of the amount of attention that plus sized women get in the area of body image and size awareness compared to people my size. However, that didn’t stop me from attending the launch for On the Curve Events at the […]

Thursday, VIP night, is $40 per person for admission and will feature celebrity and local chef demonstrations, samplings of wines from around the globe (including a limited […]
As cold weather approaches, I’m finding that I’m wearing more and more sweaters. I actually have a huge collection in my closet (and my old closet at my parents’ place) dating back to high school (I think I still have a Fair Ilse sweater from the Gap circa 1995 or 1996.) My three newest additions, […]

The new collection consists of six pieces, including skinnies, boot cut jeans as well as a pair of 1980s-inspired ripped jeans and sell between $138-142 US. Shipping is free for all US orders over […]
The idea of home-style Italian food done really, really well seems to be the underlying theme of Toronto’s new Italian hideaway, Buca. The unassuming decor- bare brick walls, wood floors and bare light fixtures- allow diners to focus on the food first and foremost. And what amazing food it is. Chef Rob Gentile, who trained […]
According to a Toronto Star article from Saturday, Zion Schoolhouse is one of the museums on Rob Ford’s shuttering list. This North York school opened in 1869 and served the community until 1955. In recent decades, it operated as a museum for school groups, creating an early 20th century school day experience for kids. Though […]
This year’s Frocktail Party was, like the previous years, absolutely fabulous. Back at the Burroughs Building, which was host to the first event back in 2009, the annual fundraiser in support of the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) offered not only the auctioning of dresses, but also complimentary manicures and of course, delicious hors d’oeuvres, […]
This website, like many other websites, rely on ads for income. This includes affiliate services with major brands. Earlier today, we received an e-mail from US retailer, Macy’s, advertising a “Remembrance Day Sale.” As a Canadian, I found that to be extremely tacky, considering that it is a very serious day for us to commemorate […]
