The theme for Rachel Sin’s show is “The Urban Jetsetter” and unlike other presentations, two seasons were shown at once. Typically during Fashion Week, pieces seen on the runway are for the upcoming season. Instead, the designer is showing both items currently available as well as next season! The fall pieces, presented first under the […]
The press release may note that the upcoming season’s looks for Narces is inspired by the Victorian age and birdcages, but that’s not all it is. In fact, without the media alert, the birdcage look would not even have crossed my mind! Instead, I was thinking the ballerina – at least for the shorter pieces. […]
…and also wins this year’s Mercedes-Benz Startup (MBStartup)! Sid first showed his entire Spring/Summer 2015 collection, which according to the press release is “based on packaging design. It’s about transforming two dimensional to three dimensional; achieved through laser cutting and mathematical pattern design” followed by a condensed version at the MBStartup presentation along with five […]
This year was my second time at the Delicious Food Show where many food-related brands, ranging from restaurants to food trucks and brands big and exhibited their wares for the public. I was able to taste items from many of the exhibitors, ranging from some favourite restaurants like Tabülè (they were sampling various dips and […]
The 11th Operanation was held at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts on Queen and University Thursday evening. With performances by French band Yelle, as well as Ensemble Studio singers and much more, including food stations, which, in my opinion, is probably one of the best things about Operanation besides the live performance. […]
It’s not hard to admit that Toronto has a love affair with pizza, especially thin crust pizza. However, most pizza places offer the same old choices, and usually not vegan or gluten-intolerant friendly. This is NOT the case with Magic Oven, which boasts five locations across the 416. Visit the restaurant’s website and you will […]
I recently had the chance to visit a new furniture boutique, CBD Co., located on King and Jarvis in Toronto. While there are plenty of furniture stores along the King East and Jarvis area selling pieces for smaller spaces, many seem to cater to a funky, more “hipster” crowd. However, CBD is a bit more […]
The 2014 edition of the Delicious Food Show is only a week away! This delicious, food-related event will feature, as usual, celebrity chefs, how-to workshops and, of course, exhibitors from food/food related brands (and restaurants, too) both large and small – you might even discover a new one as I did last year with Gaga […]
My husband and I first went to Sorrel Restaurant last Christmas when it was located on Yorkville Avenue. The dinner we had was excellent and we decided to go for our Valentine’s Day dinner. Sadly, that didn’t happen as the restaurant was a victim of a devastating fire just a few weeks later (we went […]
The Coffee Mill, located on 99 Yorkville Avenue, is closing on September 7. The restaurant has been in the area since Yorkville was a prime hippie spot in the 1960s and offers old school European fare like schnitzel, cabbage rolls and strudel. Until the advent of espresso bars across the city, it was probably one […]
