The ladies of The Coveteur, Erin Kleinberg and Stephanie Mark, along with photographer Jake Rosenberg, made an appearance at the shoe salon at Holt Renfrew Bloor Street on August 27. Hosted by VP of Fashion Direction of the store, Barbara Atkin, it was, according to them, The Coveteur’s first store appearance, after having been online […]
As most people know, Banana Republic’s Mad Men collection, a collaboration between the store and Mad Men costume designer, Janie Bryant, debuted in stores and online yesterday. After work parties were held at several locations, including the Toronto store at 80 Bloor Street West. At that location, shoppers got to check out styles based on […]
On August 15, just a few days before J.Crew’s Canadian debut at Yorkdale, the first Canadian Intermix will open its doors on Bloor, just east of Avenue Road.

The space formerly known as Dynasty Chinese Cuisine has once again opened up, and this time, it spills not only to the upstairs patio, but the sidewalk as well. This wonderful new space is La Société Bistro, a French-inspired bistro/brasserie brought to you by so-called “nightclub king,” Charles Khabouth, known for such places as the […]

The “flash mob” event was to get Facebook to add a “love” button so people can not just “like” something, but “love” it. After all, “like” isn’t as strong an adjective as “love”. Dozens of people braved the […]
I was shocked to learn from the Toronto Star that Tom Hargitai, the friendly scruffy-ish-looking doorman at the Holt Renfrew store on Bloor has been let go.

Well, according to Lisa Tant’s (Flare Magazine) Tweet this morning, anyway. No further details were given, though there are at least two brands that come to mind.
