…and apparently in the perfect location! According to Retail Insider, the shoe line known for its red soles is going to be moving into the former home of Maison de la Presse later this year. The gorgeous Victorian architecture makes it ideal for the brand – it DOES have that “glam” effect, after all! Christian […]
The May long weekend is next week for us Canadians and the week after in the US, so it’s officially sandals time! Here are some of our favourites going into the unofficial start of summer: These sandals will go well with most of your wardrobe – especially lower wedges (Banana Republic). I also thought the […]
A while back, we posted a piece about Yorkdale’s renovations and asked what stores you’d like see open there (followed up last week by a piece updating on speculated stores). So now we turn to another major shopping district in Toronto, the Bloor-Yorkville area. This area has one of the highest rents for a shopping […]
A bit of Canada love here some of my latest purchases come from Canadian brands. The first two are dresses that I got from Homegrown Boutique, a store in Toronto’s Yorkville shopping district that features items from Canadian designers. The first was actually purchased back in the fall when I attended Homegrown Boutique’s Spring/Summer 2012 […]
I think I’ve pretty much satisfied my top collection for the upcoming season – I have bought way too many. Two of my latest purchases came from Peacock Parade, one of Canada’s flash sale sites . The tops were originally listed as $360 and $295 were purchased at $129 and $89, excluding taxes and shipping, […]
For some reason, I can’t seem to find this sweater at either the US/International Banana Republic store nor the Canadian one. It could be sold out, but there were plenty at the two of the stores near me when I was there last week. This versatile piece is definitely a sweater that adds pop to […]
This month’s Petite Fashion Challenge, hosted by Really Petite, is: Stylish for under $100: Put together a professional outfit (excluding shoes and accessories) for under $100. I had some trouble figuring out what to wear for this month’s challenge – I had originally planned to use a dress I bought back in November or December, […]
They’re surprisingly ankleish on me, even though it’s not a petite size (Jacob does not do petites), especially when tucked into a lose-ish fitting top (as I’m wearing in the pictures). What do you think of this? Pants: Jacob Houndstooth Ankle Pants, size 0 – $79 CDN Top: Lucian Matis, size XS Blazer: Femme […]
Yeah, I know. I neglected to mention that I’m finally a proud owner of Christian Louboutins! The Prorata 90 mm pumps were purchased from a Christian Louboutin boutique in Hong Kong at the oh-so-hard-to-find size 34 (the similar-looking New Simple Pump starts at 35). Yes, size 34. Not 34.5 or size 35. I don’t think […]
I saw this on Twitter earlier and read further in the Globe and Mail and NY Mag. U.S District Court Judge Victor Marrero has refused a request from Christian Louboutin to stop YSL from selling red soled shoes, citing that they had the exclusive trademark. However, the judge has said that Louboutin’s claim of the […]
