La Maison Simons (aka Simons) opens its first store in the GTA on March 17, St. Patrick’s Day at Square One Shopping Centre in Mississauga. This 175 year old Quebec-based department store (and oldest still-running family business in Canada) is truly a store for EVERYONE, with price points ranging from affordable to higher end. On […]
Well, at Yorkdale and the Eaton Centre in Toronto, anyway. I am unsure about petite availability in other cities. While the collection is very small (for example, only two washes in the Toothpick jean, perhaps three style of dresses and a handful of Tippi sweaters were among the pieces available). We shorter women no longer […]
With all the construction in Yorkville, I’m amazed people are still coming. But I think the nasty construction in the area is deterring some stores from opening here sooner. That, and, of course, the lack of space (which is an issue in other parts of downtown Toronto as well). But now that Nine West is […]
Yesterday, it was announced that UNIQLO, a Japanese fast fashion chain, will open its first Toronto stores in 2016. One location will be at the Eaton Centre, located on the Dundas side (i.e. opposite end to H&M), while the other will be part of Yorkdale Shopping Centre’s new wing. Many fashionistas I know are extremely […]

And, it’s hard to find […]

There are plenty of pizza places in Toronto, ranging from old school delivery chains like Pizza Pizza (a high school and university favourite, but I have to admit that I have since out grown them) and Pizzaiolo to more “new school” locales, especially in the downtown area. Some of the regular places my husband and […]
Recently, I received an email from Yorkdale’s PR announcing that supermodel, Coco Rocha, will once again be the “spokesmodel” for the mall. The model, who is known to be very active on social media, was born in Toronto, but grew up in British Columbia. While it’s great that Yorkdale chose someone born in the city, […]
After more than a year of its launch at Yorkdale (and several trips up), I FINALLY had a meal at Dine on 3, the mall’s remodelled food court (you can read about Dine on 3’s opening here) to try Glow Press, Rose Reisman’s designer grilled cheese/pressed sandwich outlet, with an emphasis on healthier choices. I […]
