Ottawa has always been a tourist destination being the nation’s capital. These days, the reason why people are flocking to Ottawa is a little different. Travellers from Toronto, Kingston, Montreal and more are looking to enjoy that mix of city and nature that Ottawa so uniquely offers but also for the diverse shopping experience. The […]
Last week, I had went to Elle Canada’s style/meet-and-greet designers event at the Fermenting Cellar at Toronto’s Distillery District. The event, called FashionIESTA (the event was a partnership with the 2014 Ford Fiesta) featured a bit of shopping, as well as a panel where Elle Canada’s editor-in-chief featuring some of Canada’s most well-known designers – […]
Yes, YVES Saint Laurent. Not Saint Laurent, which is how everything else is branded these days. And YSL has two of my new favourite lip colours. Both on the lighter weight side, one is marketed as a balm (the Sheer Candy, in a silver case) while the other, the Rouge VOLUTÉ Shine, is more of […]
There’s the OTT street style one sees at various Fashion Weeks and there’s normal, every day clothing. Honestly, I don’t really give a HOOT on the former. I think a lot of people who wear the crazy clothing at Fashion Week only do so to get attention, and I have never really been inspired by […]

The event, called Birks Diamond Tribute to the Year’s Women in Film, was a partnership with Telefilm Canada and an “official” TIFF event. This year’s honourees, […]

According to a briefing, the collection was inspired by two stories, one of surfing at a California beach and another influenced by the “lido lifestyle of the Venetian coast” – think […]
There are plenty of pizza places in Toronto, ranging from old school delivery chains like Pizza Pizza (a high school and university favourite, but I have to admit that I have since out grown them) and Pizzaiolo to more “new school” locales, especially in the downtown area. Some of the regular places my husband and […]
The Toronto International Film Festival started last Thursday and various celebrities, including Brad Pitt, Mila Kunis and more have been in and out of the city promoting their films. While they’re here, they might visit the many gift lounges scattered across the downtown core, where they can pick up some cool items, some that are […]
