It’s time to make a shopping wish list. It’s not for back-to-school, since I don’t have kids and am only taking one continuing education course online (I graduated from university more than 10 years ago), but for beauty products. It’s nearly fall, after all, and time to replenish some favourites and maybe even […]
I’m of Chinese descent and I am fairly attuned to my heritage (though I cannot read the language). However, I was really disappointed to hear about the all-Chinese Crest White Strips ad that was seen in Richmond, BC. While yes, I know that the area has a HUGE Chinese population, an all-Chinese ad (Chinese is […]
On November 16 and 17, I had the opportunity to attend the Spark Sessions, a blog conference targeting fashion and beauty bloggers at the Centre for Social Innovation in the Annex area of Toronto. It was supposed to be a networking and learning opportunity for bloggers in the industry where we heard speakers from various […]
It’s been a crazy Thanksgiving weekend (along with a very busy week before that due to the shOws (article going live Wednesday)), so I thought I’d share some pictures from and thoughts about our Thanksgiving meal! This year, rather than just my parents, my husband and myself, my in-laws also joined us from Ottawa. So […]
Recently, I received an email from Yorkdale’s PR announcing that supermodel, Coco Rocha, will once again be the “spokesmodel” for the mall. The model, who is known to be very active on social media, was born in Toronto, but grew up in British Columbia. While it’s great that Yorkdale chose someone born in the city, […]
Actually, this isn’t a rumour. According to Retail Insider, the Roots store on the corner of Bloor and Bellair Street in Yorkville is moving across the street to MAC’s old storefront (89 Bloor West), a location that has been sitting empty for more than two years. This is disappointing, considering how much smaller the store […]
Upscale fitness club, Equinox has opened its doors in Toronto’s financial district. This well-known chain, which has been part of the luxury fitness landscape in the US for over 20 years, takes over 35,000 square feet of space at Commerce Court, offering a whole host of fitness-related programs. Equinox Bay Street offers the usual suspect […]
I’ve been aware of Ela Handbags, a Canadian and Swedish based line of bags for a while now. However, I have to admit that I did not get a chance to properly see them up close until their fall preview/panel discussion at Holt Renfrew a couple of weeks ago. This was soon followed by a […]
As most Torontonians know, Yorkdale is the go-to mall for first-in-Canada launches these days. Brands that have made their Canadian debut at the mall include J.Crew, Top Shop, LOFT and now, Mulberry, Zara HOME (the first North American store) and White House | Black Market, all which will open later this year. While I love […]
Leah Antoinette’s clothing line, Moose&Beaver held its first full fashion show at the Burroughes Building earlier this week. The brand’s philosophy of clothing that “loves you back” was definitely seen in the Fall/Winter 2013 collection. Targeting young women in their 20s and early 30s, the pieces are made with materials such as merino, distressed leather […]
