By now, everyone in Toronto has heard about the TTC “We Move You” ad, featuring the National Ballet of Canada, which has caused controversy among many body image activists. The latter are saying the dancers project a negative body image, causing many people to feel badly about their shape. Say what? It takes years and […]
and I absolutely HATE it. I really don’t understand why they even bothered with the collaboration. Sure, I haven’t actually purchased anything from any of H&M’s collabs since, oh, I don’t know, Marni, and haven’t “loved” an entire collection since Lanvin (actually, I think that was the only collection I was absolutely IN LOVE with.

Wow, what an experience! An extremely well-known 30-something classical pianist from China, someone who has as much fame and following as a member of a circa late 90s/early 2000s boy band member, playing at a small venue like Koerner Hall in Toronto – when the guy typically plays with symphonies at larger venues like the […]
The Sephora in Toronto’s Bloor/Yorkville neighbourhood recently moved to a new, bigger location a block or so east. I have to admit that I was excited about the move – a bigger spot means more room for products, right? After all, I’m pretty much a Sephora addict – I’ve been a VIBRouge for at least […]
…NOT!!! I’m no influencer. I’m pretty much just some person from Toronto who runs a blog – just like hundreds of others in the city. I don’t even get invitations to the so-called “coolest” parties.

I went back to Nordstrom at the Toronto Eaton Centre this past weekend (so I can get the security tags taken off) and checked out the store in a bit more detail. All in all, it’s a great place to shop – a happy medium between a The Bay (well, a more “typical” store, anyway […]
Nordstrom held a pre-opening gala at their Eaton Centre store on Wednesday featuring shopping, fashion shows as well as delicious bites. Proceeds, which totalled over $270,000, are going to various organizations including the Hospital for Sick Children, Covenant House and Women’s College Hospital. A (small) crowd shot Shot from the fashion show featuring interesting headgear […]
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 […]
