Marni at H&M: Shopping the Day Before!

I was lucky enough to be chosen to shop the Marni at H&M collection the evening before its launch at one of the Toronto stores.  I was pleasantly surprised when I got a DM notification on Twitter from the wonderful people at H&M Canada.  I was happy as well, since it meant that I wouldn’t […]

Cynthia’s Banana Republic Mad Men Collection Loot!

I walked into the Yorkdale store expecting disappointment, that it was going to be like last time, where there were NO PETITES AVAILABLE.  Turned out I was wrong.  Sort of.  As noted in the earlier post, there were only three dresses – two dresses inspired by Joan and one by Betty – on the racks.  […]

Mad Men Banana Republic Collection: Petites Available This Time!

The number one complaint for the last Mad Men Banana Republic Collection collaboration that launched in August 2011 was the lack of petite sizing.  This time, however, is a different story.  The collection, which has fewer pieces this time (and no shoes), includes petites in pretty much every item (except the cardigan – the Canadian […]

Québec City: Celebrating Winter in La Belle Province

Although it’s been a relatively mild winter this year in Canada, the idea of traveling to a place colder than where you live may seem a bit odd. But a trip to Québec’s capital to experience the best that winter has to offer is definitely worth bundling up for. From the annual Carnaval de Québec […]

Mad Men for Banana Republic Party at Yorkdale!

On the eve of the line’s launch, Banana Republic held a party celebrating Janie Bryant’s second Mad Men collection at many stores across North America, including Toronto’s Yorkdale location.  With 1960s-inspired appetizers from Daniel et Daniel and as well as cocktails, the event also featured Toronto stylist, Tammy Palmer, presenting styling tips for spring, featuring […]

Intermix Toronto is Back!

After shutting down for nearly two months due to flooding, Canada’s first Intermix store in Toronto’s Yorkville area has once again opened its doors!  Stock is filled spring-ready items in bright, gorgeous colours.  In addition, any discounts that were received late last year will be honoured until March 1.  Good news for those of us […]

Petite Fashion Challenge #13: Stylish for Under $100

This month’s Petite Fashion Challenge, hosted by Really Petite, is: Stylish for under $100: Put together a professional outfit (excluding shoes and accessories) for under $100.  I had some trouble figuring out what to wear for this month’s challenge – I had originally planned to use a dress I bought back in November or December, […]

Stollery’s Going to Become an Apple Flagship Store?

This has both been reported and refuted over at Urban Toronto and Macrumors.  However, if true, it’s a great idea.  Stollery’s is old and tired and looking more and more out of place as the Bloor-Yorkville area develops.  It might for many, but with new condos being built and trendier stores moving in, it’s time […]

Jason Wu for Target in Toronto: My Loot

As mentioned in the other post, shoppers were only allowed to purchase three items at the Jason Wu for Target pop-up on Thursday.  I took in six pieces to try, including dresses (three), a skirt and two tops and ended up buying one dress and two tops.  Two of the dresses I wanted to buy […]

Toronto Goes Crazy at Jason Wu for Target

With a mail theme, Torontonians got a preview of what it would be like to have a Target store at the one day only Jason Wu for Target event, held on King and Peter Street yesterday.  Some people were at the location as early as 6 am, just so they could have a shot at […]
