During OPI’s fall launch at Hotel ME Madrid Reina Victoria, I had the chance to speak with the company’s Executive VP and Artistic director, Suzi Weiss-Fischmann. She gives a shoutout to our readers, “I love Canadians. I think they are trendy and fashionable. They embrace OPI. They love new colours. They love the names. There […]
Maybe I’m just getting old, but there are some trends I just don’t “get” or that I find a little rebellious. I know that sometimes, it’s because people are just following what certain celebrities (mostly musicians like Lady Gaga or her clone, Nikki Minaj), but sometimes, I feel that regular people who dress that way, […]
When I found out about Sindy Sagastume’s The Odd Slipper, a company that specializes in shoes for small feet (starts at size 3, ladies!), I knew I wanted to try it out. Being a size 4 1/2 or size 5, I have a hard time finding shoes at regular stores. In fact, it’s become a […]
The Construction Site, currently with two locations in Toronto, is another grilled cheese joint that opened in the city over the past several months.

Do we really need to carry huge bags around? It seems to me that all over the city, women have bags that are larger than 12″ across.
