I had the chance to experience Porzia‘s new menu on April 15 through an invitation from its PR company. It was served cocktail style with cheese, crostini as well as pasta and dessert. The food was excellent, but the environment was far from that. In order to truly taste the food, attendees had to hover […]
Art galleries and museums were once considered the exclusive domain of society’s elite – not for nothing was the term “art snob” coined. But in recent years, Toronto’s largest galleries, museums and performing arts centres are aggressively targeting a younger and hipper audience. This may be a strategic decision – get ‘em while their young […]
I’m actually not sure if I can really post one this season, since I only went to six shows over a period of three days (this is what happens when there are too many events on your plate. Ahhh… the life of a lifestyle blogger). However, I do this every season, so I’ll try my […]
The spring edition of the One of a Kind Show is a bit smaller than its holiday edition, but nonetheless still filled with artisans presenting everything from delicious food to crafts, fashion and more. So who’s there? Here are just some: Mélissa Nepton (Booth P49): Fresh after showing at World MasterCard Fashion Week, Mélissa Nepton […]

Yesterday, it was announced that UNIQLO, a Japanese fast fashion chain, will open its first Toronto stores in 2016. One location will be at the Eaton Centre, located on the Dundas side (i.e. opposite end to H&M), while the other will be part of Yorkdale Shopping Centre’s new wing. Many fashionistas I know are extremely […]
As a member of the Canadian Opera Company‘s (COC) Ensemble Circle, I had the opportunity to attend last night’s announcement of the COC’s upcoming season. I have to admit that I am very excited. Many old favourites are back, as are new productions, including Pyramus and Thisbe, an opera by Canadian composer Barbara Monk Feldman […]
I recently had the opportunity to take a complimentary barre class at the newly opened, spacious barre3 studio on King Street, west of University. Unlike other barre programs across the city, barre3 only has one type of class and follows an approach created by Sadie Lincoln, who started the first studio in 2008 with her […]
Last week, I had the privilege of attending a blogger dinner at Wild Burger, a new 30-seater gastro burgery owned by Suman Roy, a globally renowned chef and Gautam Banerjee. Located in the Eglinton and Mount Pleasant area, Wild Burger is very different from other gourmet burger houses in the city. Rather than a huge […]
