The other day, I trekked from my barre class at the King/University area to the Eaton Centre. Whenever I’m at that mall, I make my usual stops, which often includes J. Crew. After the December holiday season, I noticed that the store started carrying a small selection of petite sizes. Good news for a short […]

Truly Unique Pizza on King and Jarvis
I recently had the opportunity to try True True Pizza on King Street, just east of Jarvis. The pizzeria, which recently reopened after re-branding from One Pizza, offers uniquely shaped, oblong, personal sized pizzas with a variety of different toppings where customers can customize to their liking. These toppings include the usual suspects found in […]
Nordstrom Rack coming to Yonge & Bloor
Well, not for another two years, but still (and hopefully, the markets will be a bit less volatile. Not super-happy with my investment portfolio right now, but at least the markets opened higher today (February 16)). I’m not surprised that they are – Yonge and Bloor is slowly becoming more “mid-range” or entry level lux, […]
Christian Louboutin Lands in Yorkville
…and apparently in the perfect location! According to Retail Insider, the shoe line known for its red soles is going to be moving into the former home of Maison de la Presse later this year. The gorgeous Victorian architecture makes it ideal for the brand – it DOES have that “glam” effect, after all! Christian […]
Interesting Finds at the Gourmet Food and Wine Expo 2015
Once again, I had the opportunity to attend the VIP event at this year’s Gourmet Food & Wine Expo. Some old favourites are back, as noted in an earlier post (and some were missing, as well, such as long time attendee, Hank Daddy’s BBQ). Of course, I saw the wonderful people at Muskoka Lakes Wineries […]

Many old favourites are returning, including Magic […]
An Evening with J.Crew’s Jenna Lyons and Somsack Sikhounmuong
Earlier this week, I had the chance to go to an event at the J.Crew store in Toronto’s Yorkville area. The RSVP-only event was billed as an evening with J.Crew head Jenna Lyons, but also in attendance was women’s wear designer, Somsack Sikhounmuong, who I learned last night is from Oshawa. The event was very […]
WMCFW Yays, Nays & Mehs: Spring/Summer 2016 Edition
Yes, back again with my wrap of World MasterCard Fashion Week. And due to a crazy schedule, I did not attend many shows this season either (or, at least, not as many as I could have). Yays: Star Wars: Loved the R2D2 shoes on display. The Force is definitely with us. Press and Buyers’ […]
Delicate, Floral Looks at Mikhael Kale
The first day of World MasterCard Fashion Week included designers such as Matthew Gallagher and Sid Neigum. However, I would have to say that the most interesting collection came from Mikhael Kale. For Spring/Summer 2016, his pieces had, as a press release put it, “a delicate, yet highly ornate” look with an “elegant seasonal transition […]
