That In Between Weather and the Wardrobe

I hate this time of year.  It’s not cold enough to be completely bundled up, but definitely not warm enough to be strutting around in sandals and capris.  It’s that in between time again.  And yes, I’m still stuck in my ugly tall boots.  They’re dirty from the snow (I don’t bother cleaning, since they’re […]

Some Geox Wish List Items Fall 2014

Before this past summer, I never really considered the GEOX brand!  I don’t know why I never thought of them – perhaps it was because never really promoted in the petite blogging community, despite offering smaller sizes in their basics (they go down to size 4 for many styles) – but I’m glad I did.  […]

Weekend Basics for Winter: Long Sweaters, Skinny Pants and Tall Boots

Though Toronto doesn’t necessarily get all that snowy in the winter, thanks to below freezing or borderline freezing temperatures, snow the ground is often extremely wet.  And as a frequent walker and transit-taker, even during the weekend, a wet walkway, especially when there are snowbanks, can dirty the hems of pants.  Thus, for me, anyway, […]

Toronto Store Openings: Banana Republic, Yorkdale and UGG Australia in Yorkville

I attended two different store openings yesterday.  The first was the Banana Republic store at Yorkdale, which had been undergoing renovations for the past few months.  The new store, which is over 13,000 square feet, is designed with a completely new concept, giving shoppers a very different shopping experience.  Created with a “central boulevard” lined […]
