When I received the September Anthropologie catalogue, one cardigan, the Gilt Floribunda Cardi, really caught my eye. In the catalogue (as with the posed shot with a model on a set), it had a gorgeous deep teal shade and the pattern, which were leaves, were a golden yellow colour. The close-up product shot (with a […]
Carolina Herrera never stops pleasing the more sophisticated crowd. Her Spring/Summer 2013 collection, which has, according to a Tweet just prior to the show, “timeless influence,” definitely lived up to that. With gorgeous, colourful prints as well as neutrals, these looks are bound to look great at next season’s weddings, summer fundraisers and other social […]
“Got the Nordic poles? Check. First-Aid kit? Check. Bear spray? Yup….And we’re ready to go!” our hiking guide proclaims. “Do you mean ‘bug spray’?” I ask, with slight trepidation in my voice. “No, I meant ‘bear spray’….But don’t worry – it’s usually just a precaution”. Hiking at Monica Meadows And so, another group of urban […]
Presented as an installation on Saturday, this debut collection by former J.Crew designer, Marissa Webb, is definitely influenced by her experience with the company. Artsy, yet preppy (but not really “bohreppy” (Boho Prep)), the spring/summer 2013 looks include brightly coloured pieces, basic blacks and whites (including a white fit and flare dress that could be […]
Right in time for TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival for those of you not from the city), Sephora on Bloor Street hosted a “red carpet” (complete with a red carpet outside of the store) photography event featuring makeovers from Smashbox and a mini photo session with celebrity photographer Steven Khan (who has photographed stars like […]

Warm weather-friendly brightly coloured pieces mixed with whites dominate Rebecca Minkoff’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection. In addition, tends that were “it” in 2012 continue next season, including patterned pants. Though many of the pieces, especially the more flowy looks and soft, comfortable shorts, signal those who are young, fun and carefree – boho, if you will. […]
Canadian designer Monica Mei opened her AIME boutique and showroom for the first time last night. Part of Toronto’s first Fashion’s Night Out (FNO), people not only got to see the latest AIME collection, but also nibble on appetizers from Elizabeth Hill Catering and listen to music spun by Tunesy. The interior of Monica’s […]
Isn’t this bag gorgeous? Looks vintage, doesn’t it? The bag is by Sneha Varma and was purchased at the Toronto Fashion Incubator/Stylicity event held at Hazelton Lanes at Fashion’s Night Out, and it was my only actual purchase. The bag also comes in black and blue and has both a shorter shoulder strap as well […]

Unlike the regular line (and especially the 2012 collections), BCBG’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection was not exactly Herve Leger Redux (seems to be a “thing” for Max Azria these days – this season, BCBG boutiques are filled with bodycon/bandage dresses that look like they were reworked from previous Herve Leger collections). The collection is filled with […]
I always tell people that in Toronto, the unofficial start of fall is not marked by the start of school, but the start of the Toronto International Film Festival. Running until next Saturday, September 15, this annual event is often seen as a predictor for the upcoming awards season. While I won’t be able to […]
