Coach Classics: Leather Shoulder Purse

Coach’s Classics line, long available online at at many other locations across North America (including Toronto’s Yorkdale store) finally made its way to the Bloor and Avenue Road location.  There was a “preview” for the line a couple of weeks ago when author and TV host/judge, Gail Simmons was in town, promoting her new book, […]

Chainbags and Floral Details at Tory Burch

Always with a touch of preppiness, Tory Burch’s Fall/Winter 2012-2013 collection is no exception.  Gorgeous deep reds and greens team up with blacks, greys and a touch of blue and shine for the upcoming season.  Also included were the floral detailing found in many of the looks, something that is more often seen for spring […]

January Poll Results: Are You A Member of Any Flash Sale Sites?

Last month, we asked you whether you were members of any flash sale sites.  It was kind of surprising to find that more than 41% (41.2%, actually) of you didn’t know what they were, since so many people have been talking about them over the past few months.  Some of you, at 29.4% said that […]

Whither the Make-Up Cases?

Where have all the make-up cases gone?  This was a question I tweeted to my readers a few days ago.  Years ago, you could easily find them at any drug store or department store and many brands actually sold them at the cosmetics counter.  Not true these days, unless you go online (and the problem […]

Krane Spring/Summer 2012: Hipstery Suspenders and Manpris

I don’t normally write about menswear, but the Krane show this evening was quite interesting.  Taking place in the studio space, the audience sat on one side, while panels were placed on the other.  A very different set-up.  The choreography for the show was also quite different from what one might experience at a studio […]

Webitor’s Picks: Gorgeous Burgundies that Can Be Worn NOW!

Bordeaux, burgundy or whatever you want to call it, deep reds are IT for the fall.  They’re everywhere, from bags to clothes to shoes and cosmetics.  I wore burgundy (and grey) every day for six years when I was at the Bishop Strachan School (BSS), and though I don’t wear them together anymore, burgundy still […]

Webitor’s Picks: Coach’s Chelsea Collection and the Small Leather Bag

Coach‘s transitional/fall collection is slowly making its appearance in the boutiques and online, despite the very hot weather outside.  I recently received an email from them introducing me to Chelsea, one of their latest collections.  This was also the featured collection on their website when they launched a few weeks ago. Chelsea has a very […]

Two Louis Vuitton Boutiques on Bloor? WHAT?

According to a PDF of Toronto’s Yorkville area, it seems that Louis Vuitton is about to set up shop at 150 Bloor Street West, right next to Burberry.  However, its current location on the south side of the street, next to Chanel remains on the form.  Doesn’t this seem strange to you?  Why would there […]

Kate Spade Revamps Site & Adds Canadian Shipping

As a Canadian, I only get a limited selection of Kate Spade bags, currently available at Holt Renfrew.  Imagine my pleasant surprise when yesterday, I went into their website not only to find a newly revamped version which includes not only product, a “Deborah Loves” section (similar to “Jenna’s Picks” on jcrew.com) and a corporate responsibility […]

The Flare and Flavour of Ottawa, Part I: Shopping

Ottawa like many great Canadian cities has its own gems to be shared to those for when they visit. Now when visiting a city what’s more important than where to eat and where to shop? Maybe where to sleep but that’s your problem (just joking).  Here are some of the most fashion forward, vintage, unique […]
