I swear I’m the only person in the world who hated the dress (an Armani Prive) Cate Blanchette wore to the 2014 Oscars telecast. I thought it was too close to her skin colour and that it would have been better on someone much darker as it would give it a better pop. Others disagree, […]
So the ingredients weren’t THAT unusual last night, but combining them into something delicious and elevated was indeed more of a challenge. How DO you use toaster pastries (e.g. Pop-Tarts) in a first course, anyway? Turns out, many different ways (even if some are better than others). The four contestants, who hail from Toronto, Montreal, […]
A few days ago, a Allistyle, well-known plus-sized fashion line posted a link on its Facebook page to an article where model Robyn Lawley wanted the term “plus sizes” banned. The article quotes Ms. Lawley saying “there is a need for all women to wear all sizes of clothes and we should cater to that […]
Wellspring, an organization dedicated to helping families and individuals cope with a cancer diagnosis through support and education held its annual Well Dressed for Spring fashion event at Holt Renfrew Bloor Street on Monday, January 24. The event, which was held in collaboration with Holts and Women in Capital Markets featured models who were all […]
I had the privilege to take a sneak peek at some of Express’s summer pieces at SPIN recently (summer clothes and ping pong – a very interesting/creative way of holding a preview event, though to be honest, not my ideal spot). Since it was a summer preview, there were fewer pieces to look at (compared […]
I’m not sure if Homer Simpson (or Rob Ford) would laugh or cry upon hearing the list of required ingredients in the first round. After all, donuts were on the list. Yes, for the appetizer round. That, along with flank steak, ramps (a vegetable similar to green onions, but has a stronger taste) and navel […]
This is NOT a sponsored post – just a post on one of my favourite snack food! OK, so I don’t really snack – never did, even when I was a kid (when I was in kindergarten, I didn’t “get” why we were served food around 10 AM). However, a girl’s got to nibble on […]
Recently, a video on YouTube showed four women getting the “celebrity” treatment of professional hair and make-up and a photo shoot. The pictures were then digitally edited to look more “ideal” in the mainstream sense. Before these pictures were done, the women commented on how they were often unsatisfied with their looks because they didn’t […]
Last week, J.Crew held a party to celebrate their Yorkville store (located on 110 Bloor Street West, at the former home of Escada), which is the only Canadian location that carries the J.Crew Collection, a line premium priced items. The store also has regular items, but selection is not as big as the Yorkdale or […]
OK, so none of the contestants made that on last night’s episode, but they could have, considering the ingredients for the appetizer round consisted of clams, Greek yogurt, rosewater and milkweed pods. Once again, the chefs came from different parts of Canada, including one from BC and two from the Greater Toronto Area. The fourth […]
