Mixed Feelings About UNIQLO’s Entrance to Canada

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 […]

Seriously, People? Lilly Pulitzer Fans Upset at Target Collaboration

I couldn’t believe it when I read the piece on Lucky Magazine’s website.  This HAS to be a joke.  Of course, it could very well be (since it was seen on social media), but if it isn’t, then those women aren’t worthy of wearing Lilly.  The stereotypical demographic of Lilly Pulitzer wearers tends to be […]

Target Canada Shutting Down

I am NOT surprised about this.  They had a dismal holiday season and as a whole, never bothered to learn our culture.  Also, not having e-commerce DID NOT help (though us complaining about prices probably wasn’t that great either.  EVERYTHING is more expensive here, not just Target.  How come we don’t hear about people complaining […]

Ted Baker Eaton Centre: Opens November 1

I had the wonderful opportunity to stop into a media preview of Toronto’s second Ted Baker store at the Eaton Centre last night before heading off to the opera.  The new store, located next to Harry Rosen on the south side of the third floor, is probably a bit smaller than the Yorkdale location.  According […]

I’ve meant to post these for a while, but other events, such as Diner en Blanc and New York Fashion Week have taken priority. But now that it’s officially fall, I really should post something on one of my favourite fall/winter staples – the sweater dress.  I think I have at least three or four […]

Bayview Village Shopping Centre: A History

The article about Bayview Village Shopping Centre over at Retail Insider inspired me to write about the mall from my own perspective.  The mall, located at Bayview and Sheppard, has a special place in my heart because I grew up in the area and can proudly say that I’ve been going there since BEFORE I […]

Shopping While Petite at Yorkdale: A Positive Thing

SWP.  Shopping While Petite.  It’s often a problem.  You. Just. Can’t. Find. Anything.  Well, that’s not ENTIRELY true – it’s just that you feel awful because everything is too long and at times, it doesn’t look like you can alter the outfits after purchase (or it will cost a fortune).  And, it’s hard to find […]

Online Petite-Friendly Shop: Adela Mei

Adela Mei, run by Stacy Leung and Sasha Moyer, is a California-based, online boutique with a very special focus – petite women under 5’4″.  While their pieces are, for the most part, NOT petite-exclusive (as in the clothes are not petite sized), the aim for Adela Mei is to be a one stop (or rather, […]
