A Target store in Hawaii    So Canadians, what do you think of this?  Will you shop there?  Do you already go to Target when you cross-border shop?  I’m not too sure what to think […]

H&M/Blogger Collaboration Line!

This has apparently been a rumour for years, but it’s finally coming true.  Swedish style blogger Elin Kling is collaborating with H&M for the next designer collection, to be available in early February.  The look is said to be minimalist and work appropriate and look amazing, despite the lack of bold colours (at least from […]

A Visit to Victoire

Christopher Massardo The modern boutique appeal  is something that is sweeping through in a wave.

Shopping in London, Part Two: Harrods

During my trip to London, I also got a chance to spend some time exploring the pricier stores, including Harrods.  Yes, Harrods is one place you should visit, even if you don’t purchase anything (as I’ve said in an earlier post, it’s better to buy in the US or Canada for many North American brands).  […]
