Chopped Canada’s fourth season started on Food Network Canada on September 3. Mystery ingredients for various courses premiere included haggis, mountain yam root, gai lan (Chinese mustard greens) and fruit ring cereal (i.e. Froot Loops – YUCK!!!). For my meal idea, I’ve decided make a (fake/fantasy) main course out of the round 2 basket, consisting […]
People have been predicting the death of the skinny jean for years. In fact, they say that the fall season is most definitely the end. After all, New York fashion editors have been photographed wearing anywhere from flares to boot cut to, well, anything that isn’t skinny (no, “distressed” doesn’t really count, since they can […]

I am encouraging everyone to share images of them on Instagram wearing pieces by Canadian designers and using the hashtag #isupportcanadianfashion. More details here! It was announced today that Toronto’s semi-annual fashion extravaganza will not […]
In China, women shaved their brows. At least during the Tang dynasty (618-907 CE). They didn’t go browless, but rather, redrew them in (this link shows some samples, ranging on time period within the dynasty). Pretty crazy to our eyes, right? Imagine the types of looks which circulated had Instagram existed at that time! It […]
My husband and I have been watching Food Network Star this season and I think I have an idea who the finalists will be. I won’t say whom just yet, though. However, I want to talk about one contestant – Joy. I often wonder WHY she’s even on. Her cooking style is very…mom-like. People who […]
