A while back, I said that I was NOT going to get any new skinny jeans. I already had a huge collection, and there was no point. But that collection mostly consists of black and dark blue pieces. I was okay with colour. And when Edeleman, LOFT’s PR company contacted me about the opportunity to […]

Ann Taylor Bought by Ascena: Thoughts
Most people who care probably have already heard the news, which was all over the business pages on Monday – Ann Inc., which owns Ann Taylor and LOFT, was purchased by Ascena, the company that owns Lane Bryant and Dress Barn for $2.2 B. According to resources, the deal will close in the second half […]
Petite Sizes: Is it Getting Better?
I’d say, to a certain extent, yes. Most major brands that carry petites have launched their spring looks, and while many of the pieces still lean towards office-friendly, the choices are growing, sometimes with almost as much variety as regular sizes. But, it’s not quite there…yet. Sometimes, certain looks aren’t available in petites at all […]
Sweater Dresses: Comfortable, Cozy and Great for Fall
I’ve meant to post these for a while, but other events, such as Diner en Blanc and New York Fashion Week have taken priority. But now that it’s officially fall, I really should post something on one of my favourite fall/winter staples – the sweater dress. I think I have at least three or four […]
Shopping While Petite at Yorkdale: A Positive Thing
SWP. Shopping While Petite. It’s often a problem. You. Just. Can’t. Find. Anything. Well, that’s not ENTIRELY true – it’s just that you feel awful because everything is too long and at times, it doesn’t look like you can alter the outfits after purchase (or it will cost a fortune). And, it’s hard to find […]
Select Summer Looks from LOFT
Warm weather may just be appearing in Toronto (hey, it was 20 C earlier this week), but summer clothes have already begun to hit stores. I recently had the opportunity to take a look at some of the summer pieces from LOFT at their PR agency, Edelman. Some of these looks are already available in […]
Plaid Pants Really Ain’t That Bad: An IFB Project
I was very glad to see the latest IFB challenge (#115!!), which asked posters to share a plaid look. In the 90s, I had tons of plaid – it was the “thing” to wear in my earlier teens, after all. It then all died down and it either went deep in my closet or disappeared […]

LOFT Toronto Eaton Centre Opens its Doors
…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 […]
LOFT Summer Looks: T-Shirts, Sandals and More Warm Weather Goodness
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 […]
