Last week, it was announced that the Bloor and Bathurst eyesore, Honest Ed’s and its surrounding “Mirvish Village” are up for sale. I’ve had about a week to think about it, and have gone back and forth as to whether this is a good thing. And I’m still a bit undecided. But one thing that […]
I finally had the chance to visit the new shoe department at Hudson’s Bay, Queen Street. The new space, which has been touted as the biggest shoe department in Canada (and apparently, second biggest in North America), carries brands ranging from more budget-friendly lines such as Nine West to luxury brands, including Christian Louboutin and […]
Again, bigger media outlets are focusing on larger sizes when they discuss body diversity. Yesterday, a Jezebel post about a protest in San Francisco outside a Victoria’s Secret store zeroed in on larger people (even if they did mention all sizes, including short and smaller framed people) in their post. This was especially true in […]
Breaking news! This year’s H&M designer collaboration will be with French designer, Isabel Marant, currently one of the hottest designers in the fashion industry. A celeb favourite and known for her mix of “rocker chick” meets “boho” meets casual, contemporary style, this collection is likely going to bring the shoppers back. The past two November […]
…but not before a media preview, which was held on May 30. I wasn’t able to stay very long at the event due to a Junior League dinner, but still didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to snap a few shots and browse items before the store opened the following day. As with […]
Last year, we saw Banana Republic collaborate with Trina Turk for a collection of lightweight, summer-appropriate looks and this year, it’s Milly by Michelle’s turn. Launching on May 30 at select Banana Republic stores and online, these bright, colourful, Hamptons-inspired summer pieces include dresses, tops, shorts and more. It is also Milly’s first attempt at […]
I wasn’t going to post today as we are officially on a summer posting schedule, but I thought I’d let people know what stores to expect at the Toronto Premium Outlets (yes, Premium Outlets as in Woodbury Common Premium Outlets), opening August 1 in Halton Hills, Ontario, right in time for the Civic Holiday/Simcoe Day […]
Holt Renfrew’s Director of Brand Strategy, Alexandra Weston, made a personal appearance at the Bloor Street flagship Wednesday afternoon to formally introduce the H Project. This unique “shop within a shop” highlights “culture, craft and artisans from around the world” and features watches, bags, tech accessories as well as items such as notebooks and t-shirts. […]
There is far too much of New York City to discover in a single visit – some would say even if that visit lasted a lifetime. Trying to narrow down your to-do list when you only have forty-eight hours to spend there is going to be frustrating. You’re bound to feel the need to experience […]
I’m sure many of you know by now that Lacoste basically moved out of Yorkville overnight, much like French Connection did a few weeks prior. Rumour has it that something will be taking over the spot very soon and it’s apparently not a Coach or Prada expansion, but a “luxury brand,” according to Retail Insider. […]
