Toronto Premium Outlets at Halton Hills

…what a disappointment!  I spent much of Friday up there, just to see what it was all about.  After all, the mall has been around for more than a year.  I knew, going in, not to expect Woodbury Common in New York, but I wasn’t thinking that it would be DREADFUL, either.  Especially the food […]

Coach Buys Stuart Weitzman for $574M: My Thoughts

This was announced earlier this week, but I guess that’s what you have to do when you want to be more relevant.  I mean, I haven’t bought anything from Coach in probably a year or more.  I don’t dislike the brand, and I admit that I’ve wandered into boutiques just to look.  It’s just that […]

Should Brands Like J.Crew Sell Bags for over 1K?

Recently, Refinery29 posted an article featuring J.Crew’s latest Edie bag with a price tag of $1,500 US, asking if it’s really worth it.  This bag, only available at their Madison Avenue store – there is a python version that is around $800 (around $900 in Canada) is, with the exception of material, no different from […]

In My Easter Bonnet, With All the Frills Upon It….

OK, so no Easter Bonnet.  I don’t even wear hats very much (other than wool ones you wear in the winter), but for Easter, my husband and I decided to head over to a local hotel for a delicious buffet brunch.  It wasn’t a fancy place – just a regular, run-of-the-mill hotel chain about a […]

Coach Classics: Leather Shoulder Purse

Coach’s Classics line, long available online at at many other locations across North America (including Toronto’s Yorkdale store) finally made its way to the Bloor and Avenue Road location.  There was a “preview” for the line a couple of weeks ago when author and TV host/judge, Gail Simmons was in town, promoting her new book, […]

How Much Is A Weekly Wardrobe?

There’s a lot of talk on how the Duchess of Cambridge dresses more like “everyday women” and that her wardrobe is “more affordable.”  However, a recent blog post from the Toronto Star says that the cost of clothes she wore for her eight day trip to North America was around $25,000.  That got me thinking […]

J.Crew Changes Canadian Prices After Outcry

Due to public outcry, J.Crew is now absorbing all charges on duty for Canadian orders made on their site, according to  The Globe and Mail.  The changes started this morning.  This means that the base price listed on the website will be the price that Canadian shoppers pay online, excluding sales tax.  J.Crew also plans […]

Making Sense of the New Canadian (Online) J.Crew Prices

If you read my earlier post about J.Crew’s opening at Yorkdale, you would have noticed my complaint about the new online prices.  This is still something I’m trying to make sense of.  After all, I had assumed that adjusting the prices to reflect what’s sold at the Yorkdale store would mean that it would include […]

Webitor’s Picks: Coach’s Chelsea Collection and the Small Leather Bag

Coach‘s transitional/fall collection is slowly making its appearance in the boutiques and online, despite the very hot weather outside.  I recently received an email from them introducing me to Chelsea, one of their latest collections.  This was also the featured collection on their website when they launched a few weeks ago. Chelsea has a very […]
