Recently, I attended an event for ECCO shoes. This Scandanavian, family-owned brand, known for their comfortable shoes and bags, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and launched a shoe, ECCO MIND, that is a combination of two of its historical styles (one from 1963, the year they launched and another from the 1970s) and […]
The store may have been open for at least a couple of weeks, but Stuart Weitzman’s Bloor and Avenue Road location held its official opening party Wednesday evening. Located at the old Ports boutique, the layout of the space is long and narrow, different from the Eaton Centre location, which is more open. Size-wise, it […]
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 have to admit that I have a pretty decent-sized shoe collection as well. Not like Jenna Lyons (see video below where she discusses nearly 300 pair shoe collection) or Carrie Bradshaw, but probably fairly substantial for someone with a hard-to-find size. I have walked out of stores disappointed and sometimes, have had sales people […]
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 […]
Shoppers take note! US discount giant, Marshalls has opened its first downtown Toronto location. Located in the heart of entertainment district on Richmond and John (right next to the Scotiabank Theatre complex), this new location has 29,000 square feet of retail space over two floors. On street level, shoppers will find the shoe department as […]
The May long weekend is next week for us Canadians and the week after in the US, so it’s officially sandals time! Here are some of our favourites going into the unofficial start of summer: These sandals will go well with most of your wardrobe – especially lower wedges (Banana Republic). I also thought the […]
I’m heading to the Junior League of Toronto’s DelecTABLE Designs preview party on the 26th and need your help picking shoes to wear. I’m probably going to be wearing my Versace for H&M hearts flapper dress, but can’t decide on what shoes to pair it with. Should I wear: 1. Pink Annabels (The Odd Slipper) […]
…not even online! Ron White has received a lot of press lately about his line of oh-so-comfortable shoes, but I can’t wear them. The smallest size I could find at the boutique and online is a 35/5 and it wasn’t just a little bit too big, something that can be helped by insoles, but MUCH […]
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 […]
