Last week, J.Crew held a party to celebrate their Yorkville store (located on 110 Bloor Street West, at the former home of Escada), which is the only Canadian location that carries the J.Crew Collection, a line premium priced items. The store also has regular items, but selection is not as big as the Yorkdale or […]
Like many brands, J.Crew always creates very interesting, slightly edgier looks for their Collection line, and the upcoming Spring/Summer 2014 collection is no different. According to a briefing, the collection was inspired by two stories, one of surfing at a California beach and another influenced by the “lido lifestyle of the Venetian coast” – think […]
The Anna Dello Russo for H&M collection debuts tomorrow, October 4, and I swear to whatever higher beings are out there that I am the only style blogger on this planet who just doesn’t care about the collection. It isn’t just because the I’d never be able to fit into any shoes at H&M (feet […]

I recently received an email from them introducing me to Chelsea, one of their latest collections. This was also the featured collection on their website when they launched a few weeks ago. Chelsea has a very […]
Make-up is part of a typical North American’s beauty routine. Some own a lot of make-up, while others have tiny collections. Some have lots of different colours, while others have fewer.
