…considering how Nordstrom seems to be more small-footed girl friendly than most department stores in North America (at Nordstrom, sales people don’t give you looks if you’re asking for a 4 1/2 or 5). And they have specialty size shoe sales once or twice a year, too (I was right in time for one when […]
This morning, I woke up to the news that Sears is closing its Eaton Centre (which took over the old Eaton’s store in the early 2000s) location by early next year (and other locations as well). This was definitely expected – the chain has been struggling for years – and to be honest, I thought […]
When I saw the marketing information about the new Richtree Market at the Eaton Centre, I was excited to visit. I was even more interested when their Facebook page posted something about an event called Taste of Richtree, an event where people can become acquainted with their new concept (which is more like a higher […]
…but not before a media preview, which was held on May 30. I wasn’t able to stay very long at the event due to a Junior League dinner, but still didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to snap a few shots and browse items before the store opened the following day. As with […]
While the weather was dreadful last week, things turned for the better by the time I attended the LOFT summer preview event earlier this week. Tired of winter, and winter weather in general, not only was I happy to see the warmer weather, but also to see the warm weather clothing that have either already […]

I’m sure many of you know this already – Dolce and Gabbana is coming to Yorkville and taking over the old Louis Vuitton spot. This is, according to Urban Toronto (and subsequently, Retail Insider), will be Canada’s first D&G standalone store and either the fifth or sixth worldwide. Another rumour, which I read about on […]
The first Ann Taylor store in Canada, which officially opens at the Toronto Eaton Centre today, celebrated with a private grand opening party last evening. The store, located on the third floor next to the Apple Store, features many of this season’s pieces, including a small petites collection, which is good news for those of […]
…but will land in Calgary first. The first Toronto store, at least according to Thursday’s announcement, won’t open until 2016. The Toronto location will open at Sherway Gardens. I’m a little disappointed to hear that the wait is going to be this long. I was hoping that all of the stores would open by late […]
Zara’s slightly higher-end sibling, Massimo Dutti has arrived in North America, opening its first store at the Toronto Eaton Centre at the spot formerly occupied by another Spanish brand, Mango.
