On Juice Cleanses and Bloggers

In the May issue of Marie Claire (US edition), there was an article about juice cleanses and why they aren’t that great for you.  I think this is one of the first major publications that talked about it, and yes, I am very surprised.  I would have thought that newspapers and blogs would have had […]

LOFT Girls Party at Yorkdale

Hosted by LOFT Girls/Hip Urban Girl and store staff, a brunch shopping party was held at LOFT Yorkdale on February 24.  The event was not that atypical of similar shopping parties, save for brunch food (granola, fruit and yogurt in shot glasses, banana and Nutella sandwiches, etc…) and the lack of a make-up or manicure […]

Bloggers Praise Certain Celebrities, Just Because?

Maybe it was just me, but during and after the Superbowl, practically every style blogger in North America was praising Beyonce’s performance.  Umm… really?  Was she THAT GOOD, performance wise?  Even the Destiny’s Child was pretty much expected.  And her costume wasn’t outstanding, either.  I’m sorry, but I’ve seen leather body suits before.  Besides, why […]

Anna Dello Russo for H&M: My Eyes! My Eyes!

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 […]

On Comparing Android and Apple Devices

A few days ago, IFB (Independent Fashion Bloggers) published a post on the iPhone versus the latest HTC DROID, an Android-operated device.  I was a little bit astounded at the fact that I was the only one who mentioned that comparing the two is apples to oranges (no pun intended) rather than apples to apples, […]
