BCBGMaxAzria Goes Grunge for Fall 2013

BCBGMaxAzria is heading back to the early 90s with the Fall/Winter 2013 collection.  Long loose tunics and dresses, accompanied with skinny jeans and sloppy styles gives off a grungy vibe, though definitely more updated.  The look is a little neater, more hipster, but definitely not for everyone.  Colour-wise, there is an emphasis once again, on […]

Coming Soon: Review of Jeetly Petite

Just thought I’d give you a teaser of what’s to come in the next week or two (depends on how busy I get covering New York Fashion Week remotely from my desk)… The dress is from petite careerwear brand, Jeetly Petites, based out of the UK.  I’m hoping to get some better photos (this was […]

Some Delicious Lunar New Year Foods

The Lunar New Year is almost upon us.  In fact, the year of the snake starts this coming Sunday.  New Year foods can vary from region to region and from household to household.  There is jai, of course, eaten on the first day (and of which I discussed in further detail last year).  One thing […]

Bloggers Praise Certain Celebrities, Just Because?

Maybe it was just me, but during and after the Superbowl, practically every style blogger in North America was praising Beyonce’s performance.  Umm… really?  Was she THAT GOOD, performance wise?  Even the Destiny’s Child was pretty much expected.  And her costume wasn’t outstanding, either.  I’m sorry, but I’ve seen leather body suits before.  Besides, why […]

Suzy Kellems Dominik: Elite Model Look’s First Couture and Culture Correspondent

I recently had the chance to speak with Suzy Kellems Dominik, who loaned her couture collection to the latest Elite Model Look competition, a model search hosted by that top agency, which was held in Shanghai.  Suzy also acted as the Couture and Culture Correspondent, where she held a “boot camp” for the contestants explaining […]

Thoughts on the BlackBerry 10

Yesterday, Research in Motion (okay, BlackBerry – new stock symbols are BB (TSX) and BBRY (NYSE)), announced its two new devices, the Q10 and Z10  both operating under the revamped BlackBerry 10 system.  These devices, of which one (Z10) is touch screen and the other (Q10), a keyboard, features a supposedly improved camera (though not […]

More Change in Yorkville, Part One Million – UPDATE: Kate Spade is Coming!

The constantly evolving Yorkville area of Toronto is making changes once again.  Since our piece last month, not only has hoarding gone up for the new Tiffany & Co. store (moving next to Louis Vuitton later this year), but it’s been confirmed that Stuart Weitzman will be moving into the Ports 1961 store, which has […]

Back to DT Bistro: A Review

I last wrote about DT Bistro almost three years ago, first about their brunch and then again, their prix fixe dinner.  This restaurant, located on Harbord Road between Spadina and Bathurst, was actually where my husband and I got our wedding cake (after a very long search).   A bit has changed since the last time […]
