Some may call Hervé Léger by Max Azria the same old, season after season. After all, bandage dresses are bandage dresses, right? Wrong! The Fall/Winter collection was definitely something. From warrior and equestrian-inspired pieces on dresses to fringes and a not-so subtle sophisticated biker look, the collection is definitely on the wish lists of many […]
…according to their website. I am assuming that J.Crew will be taking the current Harry Rosen spot (Harry is moving to what used to be McDonald’s later this year) as I can’t think of any other place it COULD go right now (unless Jacob is downsizing and moving elsewhere. But J.Crew is a third floor […]
In case you haven’t caught my post over at DelectablyChic!, J.Crew is opening another Toronto location at the Eaton Centre later this year! Other stores slated to hit the downtown mall include Express, Pink (opening across from sister store, Victoria’s Secret) and Juicy Couture. What stores would YOU like to see in Toronto? What […]
If you think “standards” in North America are too thin, you’d be in for a shock when if you compare yourself to this chart from Korea (note: everything is in metric, in increments of 2 cm and height is roughly 5′ to 5’7″), which I discovered while reading a post from Bread, Butter and Champagne.

Guests were treated to delicious appetizers prior to the discussion and were entertained by a DJ. The event was held at The Room. Jeanne Beker (right) interviews Barbara Bui (left) Some of […]
I don’t normally write about menswear, but the Krane show this evening was quite interesting. Taking place in the studio space, the audience sat on one side, while panels were placed on the other. A very different set-up. The choreography for the show was also quite different from what one might experience at a studio […]
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 […]
Another top colour for fall this season is teal. It wasn’t a colour that I thought I could wear well at first and I actually avoided for a long time. But then, I decided to do something different, tried it and fell in love. Though I don’t think the colour works well on everyone as […]
