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 […]
A recent post from CCP Luxury noted that luxury brands are more likely to launch in malls than on “high streets” here in Canada. But it wasn’t always this way. Usually, people expect that such stores go to, say, Bloor Street in Toronto or Robson Street in Vancouver. However, over the past few years, many […]
I’m sure many of you know by now that Lacoste basically moved out of Yorkville overnight, much like French Connection did a few weeks prior. Rumour has it that something will be taking over the spot very soon and it’s apparently not a Coach or Prada expansion, but a “luxury brand,” according to Retail Insider. […]
The constantly evolving Yorkville area of Toronto is making changes once again. Since our piece last month, not only has hoarding gone up for the new Tiffany & Co. store (moving next to Louis Vuitton later this year), but it’s been confirmed that Stuart Weitzman will be moving into the Ports 1961 store, which has […]
The beauty event, Powder Puff, was held at Holt Renfrew’s Bloor Street store in Toronto Tuesday evening. Featuring special guest, Emily Weiss from Into the Gloss, the online beauty publication, who had a brief interview with Lisa Tant (VP, Fashion Editor at Holt Renfrew), the event was very much make-up and beauty centric. Make-overs, manicures […]
This has been buzzing for weeks, but according to a NASDAQ.com article released yesterday, Gap has purchased Intermix for $130 million US. Intermix, which has one location in Canada (Toronto’s Bloor Street, just east of Avenue Road), sells higher end clothing by brands such as Herve Leger, Joie, Mulberry and Diane von Furstenberg. Different Intermix […]
We first visited this restaurant over two years ago when the site was still called Prospere Magazine. Things haven’t changed much – meals are still ordered from a slip (similar to those seen at dim sum restaurants), with a huge range of soup noodles (both rice and wheat based, beef, chicken and vegetarian choices as […]
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, […]
Though the pieces were slightly too big (make that at least one size bigger than “normal” at H&M), I managed to make them work…well, as best as I could, anyway. The first piece, one of the double sided dresses, something I was debating over – whether to get the top or the dress (which I […]
I walked into the Yorkdale store expecting disappointment, that it was going to be like last time, where there were NO PETITES AVAILABLE. Turned out I was wrong. Sort of. As noted in the earlier post, there were only three dresses – two dresses inspired by Joan and one by Betty – on the racks. […]
