The store may have been open for at least a couple of weeks, but Stuart Weitzman’s Bloor and Avenue Road location held its official opening party Wednesday evening. Located at the old Ports boutique, the layout of the space is long and narrow, different from the Eaton Centre location, which is more open. Size-wise, it […]
While the weather was dreadful last week, things turned for the better by the time I attended the LOFT summer preview event earlier this week. Tired of winter, and winter weather in general, not only was I happy to see the warmer weather, but also to see the warm weather clothing that have either already […]
I have to admit that I have a pretty decent-sized shoe collection as well. Not like Jenna Lyons (see video below where she discusses nearly 300 pair shoe collection) or Carrie Bradshaw, but probably fairly substantial for someone with a hard-to-find size. I have walked out of stores disappointed and sometimes, have had sales people […]
Can I say how excited I am for this? Yorkdale’s next expansion (will have nearly 300,000 square feet of shopping space) is slated to be completed in 2016 will include Nordstrom, according to a post on the mall’s blog. The store will be “full service,” meaning that it will likely have a bridal salon (question: […]
Gotstyle, Toronto’s favourite menswear shop and styling service has launched a women’s department in their 6,700 square foot Distillery District location. Like menswear, women will have the chance to not only shop contemporary Canadian and international designers, but also like the guys, receive style services including how to shop as well as style and trend […]
As most Torontonians know, Yorkdale is the go-to mall for first-in-Canada launches these days. Brands that have made their Canadian debut at the mall include J.Crew, Top Shop, LOFT and now, Mulberry, Zara HOME (the first North American store) and White House | Black Market, all which will open later this year. While I love […]
ADDITION ELLE held a grand opening party for its new location on Yonge and Queen yesterday evening with a cocktails/meet-and-greet/shopping event. This plus-size exclusive store, which has several locations across Canada, sells stylish, affordable clothes for work and weekend as well as lingerie and accessories, most for under $100 carrying well-known brands such as Levis, […]
Nestled at street level of a Midtown Toronto condo just west of Yonge is Minling Pan Studio (aka Shining Image), an image consulting business and clothing boutique selling unique items not found elsewhere in the city. Born and raised in southern China, Ms. Pan came to Canada to study Fashion Management and Image Consulting at […]
The new Mad Men collection at Banana Republic has hit stores and online. As noted in an earlier post, this year’s collection is inspired by the mod looks of the later 1960s, looks that are far more casual. I went into the store on launch day as the dress I wanted to try (Peggy knit […]
Hosted by LOFT Girls/Hip Urban Girl and store staff, a brunch shopping party was held at LOFT Yorkdale on February 24. The event was not that atypical of similar shopping parties, save for brunch food (granola, fruit and yogurt in shot glasses, banana and Nutella sandwiches, etc…) and the lack of a make-up or manicure […]
