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 […]
This was announced earlier this week, but I guess that’s what you have to do when you want to be more relevant. I mean, I haven’t bought anything from Coach in probably a year or more. I don’t dislike the brand, and I admit that I’ve wandered into boutiques just to look. It’s just that […]
I can’t make myself wear “chunky” jewellery, including big necklaces, earrings and definitely NOT huge rings. This is YEARS after I graduated from high school! In fact, I STILL consider them tacky. I can’t get the “shower curtain earrings” lecture the Head at my school gave in chapel years ago. It’s often nasty and it’s […]
On Tuesday, InStyle for Nine West held a fall launch event in Toronto’s tony Yorkville area. Going into the party, I knew that it was unlikely going to find anything that fit – that’s the issue I have with shoe shopping – I have a very small foot (size 4 1/2 or 5, usually), which […]
I had the opportunity to visit the Kelly Claman/JAC BTQ a pop-up shop earlier this week (despite the horrible rain!). The store, which is located in the Adelaide and Spadina area, will be open until the end of May and features items by designers such as Kain, Whitney Eve and OFF DUTEE, all brands distributed […]
Celebrities are always collaborating with retailers or designers, creating capsule collections and Kate Hudson is no exception. Launched just yesterday, her white and rose gold collection for Ann Taylor features summer-ready dresses, skirts, tops as well as accessories. The collection was officially launched online in Wednesday morning and at Ann Taylor stores later in the […]
During Fashion Week, I had the pleasure of meeting Kathryn Dieroff and Tamara Kronis at the TFI Press and Buyers’ brunch and quickly arranged a meeting with them at their boutique and studio. Located in Summerhill, Studio1098 (named for its address at 1098 Yonge Street) fits in very well with the small town, “neighbourhood” vibe […]
While the weather was dreadful last week, things turned for the better by the time I attended the LOFT summer preview event earlier this week. Tired of winter, and winter weather in general, not only was I happy to see the warmer weather, but also to see the warm weather clothing that have either already […]
I’m sure many of you know this already – Dolce and Gabbana is coming to Yorkville and taking over the old Louis Vuitton spot. This is, according to Urban Toronto (and subsequently, Retail Insider), will be Canada’s first D&G standalone store and either the fifth or sixth worldwide. Another rumour, which I read about on […]
The Anna Dello Russo for H&M collection debuts tomorrow, October 4, and I swear to whatever higher beings are out there that I am the only style blogger on this planet who just doesn’t care about the collection. It isn’t just because the I’d never be able to fit into any shoes at H&M (feet […]
