Many people with smaller/lower nose bridges complain about the lack of sunglasses that properly fit them without frames touching one’s cheekbones, slipping off or leaving marks one’s face.  To solve this issue, enter in Toronto-based designer Kathy Tran, who two years ago, launched a collection of sunglasses called Kay Tran, in various different styles and […]

Nordstrom’s Canadian Arrival is in 2014…

…but will land in Calgary first.  The first Toronto store, at least according to Thursday’s announcement, won’t open until 2016.  The Toronto location will open at Sherway Gardens.  I’m a little disappointed to hear that the wait is going to be this long.  I was hoping that all of the stores would open by late […]

Marketing and Pricing: J.Crew Sells Leggings for $650 US

Some of you may have seen my tweet yesterday questioning a pair of leggings from J.Crew’s latest update, selling for $650 (and over $760 in Canada).  I realize that this is from their “collection” line, which is always much higher-priced, considering the material and such, but did it have to be that much higher? And […]

The newest version of the iPhone has been announced, and it appears that the device has pretty much everything that was already leaked out. For anyone who has not been following along, the iPhone 5 will be taller, thinner, built in panorama for the camera and will have LTE among other things.  To some, especially […]

Revisiting Hue’s Kitchen on Yonge and Bloor

We first visited this restaurant over two years ago when the site was still called Prospere Magazine.  Things haven’t changed much –  meals are still ordered from a slip (similar to those seen at dim sum restaurants), with a huge range of soup noodles (both rice and wheat based, beef, chicken and vegetarian choices as […]

Tory Burch Spring/Summer 2013

Tory Burch’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection focuses on bright colours – citrons, blues and corals, specifically – as well as patterns and detailing, such as fringed hemlines.  Though very lively, it was at the same time, subtle enough not to be too distracting and great for warm weather-related events such as garden parties and luncheons on […]
