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 […]

Yorkville: Lacoste Out, Kate Spade In

I’m sure many of you know by now that Lacoste basically moved out of Yorkville overnight, much like French Connection did a few weeks prior.  Rumour has it that something will be taking over the spot very soon and it’s apparently not a Coach or Prada expansion, but a “luxury brand,” according to Retail Insider.  […]

New Stores, More Shopping and Yorkdale’s New Wing

It has finally landed!  Right in time for the holidays, Yorkdale‘s new expansion, which has 145,000 square feet of retail space has opened its doors to the public.  Featuring Anthropologie’s third Toronto location and Ann Taylor’s second as well as first-to-market stores like Kate Spade and Ted Baker, Yorkdale continues to be the IT shopping […]

Bloor-Yorkville: What Stores Do You Want To See?

A while back, we posted a piece about Yorkdale’s renovations and asked what stores you’d like see open there (followed up last week by a piece updating on speculated stores).  So now we turn to another major shopping district in Toronto, the Bloor-Yorkville area.  This area has one of the highest rents for a shopping […]

Ann Taylor and Kate Spade Join Tory Burch at Yorkdale…(UPDATED – FALSE INFO)

Whoops!  The news is not true, according to a note from a rep at Oxford Properties. The floor plan that was originally posted in this article was not supposed to be public and has since been removed.  However, the Ann Taylor/Kate Spade speculation is still on my books, especially after Kate Spade sponsored a TIFF […]

Cynthia’s Banana Republic Mad Men Collection Loot!

I walked into the Yorkdale store expecting disappointment, that it was going to be like last time, where there were NO PETITES AVAILABLE.  Turned out I was wrong.  Sort of.  As noted in the earlier post, there were only three dresses – two dresses inspired by Joan and one by Betty – on the racks.  […]

J.Crew Opening Another Toronto Store

In case you haven’t caught my post over at DelectablyChic!, J.Crew is opening another Toronto location at the Eaton Centre later this year!  Other stores slated to hit the downtown mall include Express, Pink (opening across from sister store, Victoria’s Secret) and Juicy Couture.   What stores would YOU like to see in Toronto?  What […]

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 […]

Webitor’s Picks: A Couple of Teal Looks

Another top colour for fall this season is teal.  It wasn’t a colour that I thought I could wear well at first and I actually avoided for a long time.  But then, I decided to do something different, tried it and fell in love.  Though I don’t think the colour works well on everyone as […]

Black and White and a Touch of Colour: A Webitor’s Pick for Work

Below are our suggestions for a sophisticated summer look with black, white and a bit of colour. Try combining a white, cropped pant with a black, lightweight top and blazer, then add a colourful scarf. Can’t wear cropped pants to work? No problem. Try a sleek, white dress instead!   The pieces also convert very […]
