Elle Canada and Creating Scents at Intermix Toronto

Elle Canada held a spring style and shopping event at Intermix in Yorkville Thursday evening.  Though no one from the magazine actually spoke about trends, many of the pieces were tagged as looks recommended by editor-in-chief, Noreen Flanagan as an “Editor’s Choice.”  I didn’t agree with some of her picks, however, as they looked like […]
