Falafels at Hayden Lunch House

Thirteen Hayden Street in Toronto has pretty much lived up to its reputation as a number.  Starting early last year, the spot has changed names three times, transforming from the take-out spot for Foccacia Restaurant to two different middle eastern take-out counters and then back to Foccacia.  Then, early this year, it changed names once […]

Mad Men’s Spring/Summer 2013 Collection at Banana Republic

With the sixth season making its debut on AMC in April, it’s time for another Mad Men collection at Banana Republic.  As the show heads deeper into the 1960s, the looks are more inspired by the “mod” look than the early 1960s glam of the Kennedys.  Many of the women’s pieces are a nod to […]

Fashion Bloggers, Shopping and Over-Consumption

Is it just me, or are many “fashion” blogs turning into “shopping” blogs?  I’m not talking about sites that primarily discuss new finds, but general style blogs. It seems that for many people, just about every post has something new in it, and these are bloggers who post at least on a weekly basis.  How […]

Jeetly: A UK-Based Petite-Exclusive, Work-Appropriate Collection

Recently, I was contacted by the PR rep for Jeetly, based out of the UK.  This is an online-only, petite-exclusive collection that only launched this past fall.  The collection consists of blouses, skirts and dresses, all appropriate for a moderately conservative office.  I was lucky enough to get a discount to purchase two of the […]

Embellished Tops and Bishop Sleeves at Tory Burch

Presented off site in what looked like a hotel ballroom, glamorous looks were definitely expected, whether it is colour saturated or basic black.  It’s always best when designers don’t over-do the black for their fall/winter lines, and this was definitely the case with Tory Burch. While there is black in the collection (there has to […]

Gorgeus Deep Shades at Carolina Herrera Don’t Disappoint

I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed by Carolina Herrera.  The looks are always gorgeous, with season-appropriate colours, and is always lady-like and grown-up.  And this continues for the Fall/Winter 2013 season.  Shiny, sparkly embellished, many made with silk, abound in this collection, but unlike other designers, the pieces manage to stay within Ms. Herrera’s […]
