Gorgeus Deep Shades at Carolina Herrera Don’t Disappoint

I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed by Carolina Herrera.  The looks are always gorgeous, with season-appropriate colours, and is always lady-like and grown-up.  And this continues for the Fall/Winter 2013 season.  Shiny, sparkly embellished, many made with silk, abound in this collection, but unlike other designers, the pieces manage to stay within Ms. Herrera’s […]

Marissa Webb Debuts at New York Fashion Week

Presented as an installation on Saturday, this debut collection by former J.Crew designer, Marissa Webb, is definitely influenced by her experience with the company.  Artsy, yet preppy (but not really “bohreppy” (Boho Prep)), the spring/summer 2013 looks include brightly coloured pieces, basic blacks and whites (including a white fit and flare dress that could be […]

Fighter-inspired BCBG Collection Lacks Colour for Spring/Summer 2013

Unlike the regular line (and especially the 2012 collections), BCBG’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection was not exactly Herve Leger Redux (seems to be a “thing” for Max Azria these days – this season, BCBG boutiques are filled with bodycon/bandage dresses that look like they were reworked from previous Herve Leger collections). The collection is filled with […]

A Four Course Tasting Menu at Scarpetta Toronto

For my birthday, my husband and I celebrated by having dinner at Scarpetta’s only non-US location.  Scarpetta, which means “little shoe” or that crusty piece of bread used to soak up sauce at the end of the meal is located at the trendy Thompson Hotel.  Founded by celebrity chef Scott Conant, there are also locations […]

Massimo Dutti Opens First North American Store at the Toronto Eaton Centre

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.  With more sophisticated and “grown-up” pieces, the store definitely targets a cosmopolitan city crowd who like to be trendy, but not over the top.  The […]

Dining in Manhattan: Cafe Lalo

While the days of the dial up modem and AOL are now long gone, to many social media obsessed, the late 90s movie, You’ve Got Mail! is seen as the very first movie about online life.  Though it seems that Starbucks was the major “star” when it came to real places (side note: one thing […]

The Odd Slipper Now Offering Non-Standard Widths

Yesterday, when I was checking The Odd Slipper to see what new additions they had, I noticed that one of their latest shoes, the camel coloured Faith, is available in wide sizes from 3 to 5.5.  According to their latest email, they are also able to custom order other designs in wide and narrow.  This […]

Hot Pink Pumps From the Odd Slipper!

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 […]
