Recently, I received an email from Yorkdale’s PR announcing that supermodel, Coco Rocha, will once again be the “spokesmodel” for the mall. The model, who is known to be very active on social media, was born in Toronto, but grew up in British Columbia. While it’s great that Yorkdale chose someone born in the city, […]
This week, Independent Fashion Bloggers asked us to write about fall boots. Though it’s still fairly warm in Toronto – this week’s weather will be in the mid 20s C – projected temperatures over the next couple of weeks will drop down to the mid to high teens. Though not cool enough for boots just […]

As promised on Instagram, I am reviewing Marc Jacobs Beauty’s Lust for Lacquer lip vinyl. These glosses come in sheer and “full,” with six shades each, in reds, pinks, browns and purples.

“Wow, that looks delicious”, I said to Maria, my aesthetician at Ste. Anne’s Spa, as she applied the seasonal “Chocolate Spaberry” scrub on me, “I’m almost tempted to eat it!” I laughed. “You can if you want,” she said, without missing a beat. “We make it using only fresh strawberries, natural cane sugar, shea butter […]
A girl can never have too much black (or lip gloss), in my opinion. And that has definitely been the case, historically speaking, when you take a peek into my closet. Though over the past year or so, I’ve been adding more colour, many of my favourites, especially in cooler months, have been black. On […]
I just realized that I’ve been wearing make-up for over 20 years and have noticed how much drugstore make-up has changed over the past two decades. When I first started wearing make-up, drugstores like Shoppers Drug Mart carried the classics – CoverGirl, Maybelline, Revlon and every tween/teen’s favourite, Bonne Bell. It was a dream for […]
As I say each year, the day the Ex (CNE/Canadian National Exhibition) opens is the day summer starts to end.

And because I’m taking classes again, post-Labour Day really will […]
Located on Queen Street a few blocks west of University, this new boutique hotel, so tiny that it only had a handful of rooms, has an equally eclectic restaurant, and is, according to chef, Eric Wood, “mixed with the seriousness of the financial district with the creativity of Queen Street.” However, I think the menu […]
