I had the privilege to take a sneak peek at some of Express’s summer pieces at SPIN recently (summer clothes and ping pong – a very interesting/creative way of holding a preview event, though to be honest, not my ideal spot). Since it was a summer preview, there were fewer pieces to look at (compared […]
Last week, J.Crew held a party to celebrate their Yorkville store (located on 110 Bloor Street West, at the former home of Escada), which is the only Canadian location that carries the J.Crew Collection, a line premium priced items. The store also has regular items, but selection is not as big as the Yorkdale or […]
Valentine’s Day is just round the corner. Not only is it a day of romance and celebration, it can also be one of great stress. There can even be pressure to top past years or compete with friends. How do you show your beloved how much they mean to you? Men generally can never go […]
UPDATE: It seems that the Yonge/Bloor spot has been abandoned (for now, anyway) and the Queen Street store will be 150,000 square feet – half the size of the originally planned Yonge/Bloor store. It is going to be very interesting! According to the Globe and Mail, Saks is coming to the Eaton Centre, on Yonge […]
It all started in 2012 with Trina Turk. Last year, it was Milly, Issa and L’Wren Scott. The first announced designer for 2014 is Marimekko. According to the press release, Marimekko was first known to the North American public in the 1960s, when the pieces were worn by Jacqueline Kennedy during the 1960 Presidential Campaign. […]
…considering how Nordstrom seems to be more small-footed girl friendly than most department stores in North America (at Nordstrom, sales people don’t give you looks if you’re asking for a 4 1/2 or 5). And they have specialty size shoe sales once or twice a year, too (I was right in time for one when […]
I constantly read in retail-related blogs about the “lack of availability” in Canada when it comes to shopping for clothes, shoes and accessories. And honestly, I can’t say I understand what they’re talking about. Sure, there are stores that aren’t widely available in Canada, but that’s changing. J.Crew and LOFT, for example, have been opening […]
I recently had the opportunity to speak with Sean Clark, founder of Vancouver-based online shopping destination, shoeme.ca. This online store carries shoes for men, women as well as kids in a variety of different styles, with brands such as NineWest, Jessica Simpson, Clarks and more – very “standard” affordable mall brands for the most part […]
Hamilton, Ontario-based Trend Trunk, an online store for both new and “pre-loved” clothes and accessories (profiled on DelectablyChic! in 2012), is holding its first-ever “Blogger Fashion Week” starting today (running until Sunday). Each day for the entire week, ten bloggers will be featured on bloggerfashionweek.com, along with links to their “closets” where Trend Trunk users […]
As you know, the much-anticipated collaboration between designer L’Wren Scott and Banana Republic launches this week! According to the press material, the collection includes three prints that are exclusive to the collaboration and are seen in many of the looks. There are plenty of rich tones, all perfect for the holiday season, whether you are […]
