I’m shorter than my mother. This is a rarity, especially for first generation Canadians with immigrant parents. You’re pretty much expected to be taller than your mom. When I was a little girl, I expected to be around 5’6″ or 5’7″ – one to two inches TALLER than mom. Never happened. I reached my current […]
Recently, Jersey Shore’s Snooki announced that she had reached her goal weight of 98 lb. Now, I don’t watch the show – I think Jersey Shore is tacky and low brow entertainment to the core – but I can’t help but find her critics – those who say that she’s “gone too far” when it […]
The National Women’s Show took place this past weekend in Toronto. Billing itself as the “Ultimate Girl’s Day Out,” it was truly a Brandapalooza with more than 450 exhibits ranging from “food and wine sampling, fashion shows, celebrity guests, free makeovers, health, wellness & beauty secrets, cooking demos, home renovation advice and travel ideas!” The […]
This year’s Frocktail Party was, like the previous years, absolutely fabulous. Back at the Burroughs Building, which was host to the first event back in 2009, the annual fundraiser in support of the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) offered not only the auctioning of dresses, but also complimentary manicures and of course, delicious hors d’oeuvres, […]
I am in love with Arthur Mendoça’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection. His return-to-runway collection, which consisted of a variety of different pieces including flowy dresses in all lengths and styles, was, according various media including Global News, influenced by Cleopatra. While I didn’t see it (either from a textbook or film perspective), there was definitely something […]
The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) wraps up for another year this weekend, and there were definitely hits and misses when it came to what the celebs wore. I had the chance to speak with fashion bloggers (phloggers?) Erin Kleinberg and Stephanie Mark from The Coveteur (we previously wrote about them in a post about […]
J.Crew was not the only new store opening at Yorkdale in August. One of the others is a flagship for premium denim brand, 7 For All Mankind. Though they opened their doors to the public around the same time as J.Crew, they did not have an official launch party until yesterday. The August 31st event […]
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 […]
Fourteen year old Hailee Steinfeld is the new face of Miu Miu. Though the line is often referred to as the “younger” version of sister brand, Prada, the I checked, it still targeted grown women, not middle or high school girls. So unless the people over at Miu Miu are trying to expand their target […]
Like the city itself, hotels in Hollywood are the stuff made of legend. Whether being used as a long-term residence for young starlets chasing the dream, or as a crash pad for rock stars in pursuit of Bacchanalian revelry, hotels in this celebrity-centric locale exude star power in their own right. And so, without further […]
