Media and foodies were invited to a delicious event at Blowfish Restaurant and Sake Bar‘s second location on Bay Street last night to celebrate its first anniversary. Like the King and Bathurst restaurant which opened nine years ago, the location is a fusion of traditional and modern as well as east and west, with its […]
Right before going to the shows at Fashion Week last Wednesday, I made a pit stop to at a PR agency for a session with Essie Weingarten, founder of essie nail polish along with other fashion/beauty media in the city. Essie was involved with several Toronto Fashion Week shows, including Pink Tartan, Chloe comme Parris […]
I’m shorter than my mother. This is a rarity, especially for first generation Canadians with immigrant parents. You’re pretty much expected to be taller than your mom.

I can’t believe how often I see posts from style websites about the lack of plus size models in the industry or criticize the use of lingerie when plus sized models are featured – this is a major issue for me as I often wonder why they just don’t promote specialty designers more often. I […]
When Vogue Italia put three larger-than-normal models on its recent cover, both major media and bloggers were all over it (including this site), discussing whether Vogue did the right thing. Many complained about the fact that the models were wearing lingerie and not, say, evening gowns or casual wear. Many times, the excuse is that […]
