…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 […]
The list is growing. So far, the count includes women, immigrants, veterans and more recently, hedge fund managers. He hasn’t insulted ALL of Wall Street yet, but I won’t be surprised if he does. And he’s gaining support. I’m not surprised about that. There is a segment of American society who DOES feel that way. […]
A recent post from CCP Luxury noted that luxury brands are more likely to launch in malls than on “high streets” here in Canada. But it wasn’t always this way. Usually, people expect that such stores go to, say, Bloor Street in Toronto or Robson Street in Vancouver. However, over the past few years, many […]
Over the weekend, my husband and I took a trip to Ottawa, his hometown. It’s funny, when people think of Ottawa, they think boring and dowdy. It is a government town, the capital of Canada, after all. On one of the days, we trekked over to the Rideau Centre, the city’s main mall, to have […]
I finished Harper Lee’s book last week and after thinking about it, can finally write how I feel. I read To Kill a Mockingbird in Grade 8, part of our English curriculum. Like most people, I loved the book and saw Atticus Finch as some sort of hero, especially for that time period. It is […]
Shoppers Drug Mart’s beautyBOUTIQUE.ca has officially launched! Marketing Magazine says notes that Shoppers has “entered the online shopping arena,” but they’re only half right. Shoppers has had murale.ca for a number of years. Brands on the Beauty Boutique site include Stila, Benefit, Smashbox and Clinique, all available at most Beauty Boutique locations. In fact, the […]
Well, not exactly a “farmer’s market” in the sense of Brickworks, but definitely delicious treats and more! The pop-up will be outside the Club Monaco flagship store on Bloor and Avenue Road from now until mid-fall, according to the press release. Vendors are P&L, Boxcar Social, Sweet Woodruff, Philip’s Ice Pops and The Bake Shoppe. […]
I recently enacted a “limited swag” rule for myself when I go to previews. Over the seven or so years I’ve been serious about blogging, I’ve gone to tons of events – mostly previews – and have received many, many bags. Most of the time, it just stays in my office, cluttering up space and […]
Currently, Canadians can shop J.Crew’s clothing using a similar method as Americans, with the exception that prices include duties charged. While the prices are in US dollars, we enjoy the same (or similar) coupon codes at the same time. However, all this is about to change. This morning (July 29, 2015), I received an email […]
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 […]
