Research, Demographics, New Markets and Shoe Shopping

Anyone knows me from Shorty Stories (and probably from this site, too), knows that I have rather small feet at size 5. One of my go-to brands when it comes to shoes is Stuart Weitzman.  His shoes are almost always available in size 5, sometimes even smaller.  So when the first Stuart Weitzman boutique opened […]

TopShop at HBC is Here and Scarf Giveaway! – Congrats Nin!

Well, sort of, anyway.  A capsule collection, curated by Tommy Ton, opened at the Bay on Queen Street in Toronto on June 29, one day earlier than originally planned.  The collection consists of Tommy Ton’s favourite TopShop pieces will be at the store until the first OFFICIAL location opens at Yorkdale’s Bay store in September.  […]

Some Cute, Yet Comfortable Shoes for the Summer

I don’t like wearing heels higher than 3 1/2″.  With my tiny feet, I just can’t balance properly while standing, let alone walk.  This, of course, doesn’t stop sales people from trying to get me to buy the hottest look, even after I tell them that there’s no way I’d be able to walk properly.  […]

Hearts for Fickle Viet-Chinese Cuisine

Fickle Viet Chinese Cuisine certainly has been getting a lot of attention since it opened on June 17, not only because of its name, but because of restaurant’s interesting decor – heart shapes all over its walls, ceilings and even on the door to the kitchen.  It seems very odd for a restaurant named Fickle […]

H&M To Collaborate with Versace in November

H&M‘s eighth November designer collaboration will be with Versace.  The annual fall collection, which shoppers line up in droves for (and sometimes camp out the night before – seriously, it’s like lining up for concert tickets), only to get a small piece of the action, will go on sale in Canada and the United States […]

On Diversity, the Fashion Industry and Style Bloggers

The Huffington Post and UK’s Daily Mail published articles on the lack of diversity in the fashion industry recently.  No real surprises in either (the HuffPo one was actually a reaction to the Daily Mail) – just the same old facts about how many non-white models (if used on the runways or catalog shoots at […]

Paris Hilton: Should Use Name to Influence People

First off, I don’t usually write about celebrities, especially so-called “celebutantes.”  It’s just not my thing.  Most don’t seem to give off such a “sophisticated” vibe to me.   Thus, I was debating whether to post this in the “entertainment” or “style” section. Since people seem to watch Paris Hilton for entertainment purposes rather than […]

Webitor’s Picks: Loose, Flowy Tops

With the extra-hot weather over the past few days, many of us may be looking for something comfortable to wear that is temperature-appropriate. Dresses are great, of course, but so are loose-fitting, lightweight tops.  Update your skinny pants by pairing them with these tops, as seen below, wear them with shorts or even loose-fitting pants.  […]

Mercedes-Benz Canada Announces New Fashion Mentorship Program

Though Mercedes-Benz is the title sponsor of New York’s Fashion Week and not ours, the luxury brand still plays a role in Canadian fashion.  This evening, Mercedes-Benz Canada announced a new mentoring program, called Mercedes-Benz StartUp, to help emerging Canadian designers whose labels have been established fewer than five years.  Designers across the country will […]
