Many smaller-framed women are familiar with the California-based line, The Little Bra Company. Carrying “grown-up” looking bras as small as a 28AA, the brand has, over the years, become a go-to line for those of us who are small (including yours truly). The brand has been available in Canada for some time, but it’s often […]
I didn’t notice this until I browsed J.Crew’s latest pieces where sizes 000 and XXXS are now available in its regular sizing (petites still end at XXSP and 00P). Even as a relatively tiny person, I think it’s getting a bit too crazy. Do women really have such low self-esteem that they need to feel […]
Hosted by Sexy & Wealthy in Heels and The Belle Method and sponsored by Louis M. Martini Winery, Success in the City (formally known as Divas in the City) is essentially an evening seminar which features experts in the fields relevant to urban women professionals and entrepreneurs. Presentations are made on beauty, sex/relationships, finance, careers, fashion, nutrition […]
The Banana Republic x Marimekko collection lands in stores and online tomorrow (May 22, 2014). The collection is perfect for summer with its bright prints and colours. And considering that the weather is definitely looking up (at least around here – we are going to be in the high teens to mid-20s (Celsius – that would […]
I was going through my closet the other day, clearing out stuff that I hadn’t worn in a while, and putting them aside, either to donate or sell (I’ve had trouble selling items online, probably due to my size. Now my Trend Trunk closet is mostly bags, since bags know no size). I noticed that […]
Specialty sizing is often drab, basic and/or grandmotherly. Unless, of course, you want to spend over $500 on brands like Marina Rinaldi. However, you don’t have to worry about that at Primaala (the name comes from the words prime and maala, which means “to rise up” in Hebrew), a new boutique in the Dundas west […]
I am honestly not surprised at this. The Montreal-based brand has had issues for years, and bad PR plus the lack of “style” is what caused the Jacob’s downfall. They’ve slowly eliminated brands (they had a girls’ line back in the 80s and 90s, lingerie/lounge wear, as well as Jacob Homme. I think Jacob Homme […]
I had the opportunity to visit the Kelly Claman/JAC BTQ a pop-up shop earlier this week (despite the horrible rain!). The store, which is located in the Adelaide and Spadina area, will be open until the end of May and features items by designers such as Kain, Whitney Eve and OFF DUTEE, all brands distributed […]
Warm weather may just be appearing in Toronto (hey, it was 20 C earlier this week), but summer clothes have already begun to hit stores. I recently had the opportunity to take a look at some of the summer pieces from LOFT at their PR agency, Edelman. Some of these looks are already available in […]
Normally, I think of cities as characters; London is a well-established gentleman and Paris is a pretty girl with surprising sophistication. Sydney, I can’t quite define. On one hand is a formal, conservative city. Common hearsay is that Melbourne is the cultural capital and Sydney the capital of business. On the other hand, Sydney is […]
