Toronto Store Openings: Banana Republic, Yorkdale and UGG Australia in Yorkville

I attended two different store openings yesterday.  The first was the Banana Republic store at Yorkdale, which had been undergoing renovations for the past few months.  The new store, which is over 13,000 square feet, is designed with a completely new concept, giving shoppers a very different shopping experience.  Created with a “central boulevard” lined […]

Webitor’s Picks: Gorgeous Burgundies that Can Be Worn NOW!

Bordeaux, burgundy or whatever you want to call it, deep reds are IT for the fall.  They’re everywhere, from bags to clothes to shoes and cosmetics.  I wore burgundy (and grey) every day for six years when I was at the Bishop Strachan School (BSS), and though I don’t wear them together anymore, burgundy still […]

One of my go-to brands when it comes to shoes is Stuart Weitzman.  His shoes are almost always available in size 5, sometimes even smaller.  So when the first Stuart Weitzman boutique opened […]
