What? Ron White Carries Sizes 4 & 4.5 at Nordstrom, Not Own Boutique
…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 […]
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 […]
Premium Outlets Opening in Halton Hills, Ontario in 2013
Premium Outlets’ Woodbury Common is one of my favourite outlet malls to visit when I’m in the New York area. With stores like Prada, YSL and Ferragamo as well as factory stores for Banana Republic, J.Crew and Coach, what more could a girl ask for? Soon, we Canucks won’t have to go across the border […]
Recent Purchases from Homegrown Boutique
A bit of Canada love here some of my latest purchases come from Canadian brands. The first two are dresses that I got from Homegrown Boutique, a store in Toronto’s Yorkville shopping district that features items from Canadian designers. The first was actually purchased back in the fall when I attended Homegrown Boutique’s Spring/Summer 2012 […]

Ann Taylor and Kate Spade Join Tory Burch at Yorkdale…(UPDATED – FALSE INFO)
Whoops! The news is not true, according to a note from a rep at Oxford Properties. The floor plan that was originally posted in this article was not supposed to be public and has since been removed. However, the Ann Taylor/Kate Spade speculation is still on my books, especially after Kate Spade sponsored a TIFF […]
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 […]
Latest Peacock Parade Purchases: Sachin & Babi Tops
I think I’ve pretty much satisfied my top collection for the upcoming season – I have bought way too many. Two of my latest purchases came from Peacock Parade, one of Canada’s flash sale sites . The tops were originally listed as $360 and $295 were purchased at $129 and $89, excluding taxes and shipping, […]
Marni at H&M: The Actual Loot!
Though the pieces were slightly too big (make that at least one size bigger than “normal” at H&M), I managed to make them work…well, as best as I could, anyway. The first piece, one of the double sided dresses, something I was debating over – whether to get the top or the dress (which I […]
