A recent post from CCP Luxury noted that luxury brands are more likely to launch in malls than on “high streets” here in Canada. But it wasn’t always this way. Usually, people expect that such stores go to, say, Bloor Street in Toronto or Robson Street in Vancouver. However, over the past few years, many […]
Vancouver-based café, Caffe Artigiano has opened a spot in the heart of Toronto’s financial district, on Yonge, just south of King Street. The café offers a wide array of caffeine-based drinks as well as sandwiches, salads, soups and pastries. I had the opportunity to attend a media drop in last week and was able to […]
I recently had the opportunity to speak with Sean Clark, founder of Vancouver-based online shopping destination, shoeme.ca. This online store carries shoes for men, women as well as kids in a variety of different styles, with brands such as NineWest, Jessica Simpson, Clarks and more – very “standard” affordable mall brands for the most part […]
…but will land in Calgary first. The first Toronto store, at least according to Thursday’s announcement, won’t open until 2016. The Toronto location will open at Sherway Gardens.

As soon as I heard that a Canadian version was in the works, my reaction was “ooohhhhh boy.” Yeah, the Vancouver edition debuted on Slice recently. I don’t really watch shows like these – I think it fries too many brain cells, but I sort of understand why people watch these shows (that’s why they […]
Anyone knows me from Shorty Stories (and probably from this site, too), knows that I have rather small feet at size 5. One of my go-to brands when it comes to shoes is Stuart Weitzman. His shoes are almost always available in size 5, sometimes even smaller. So when the first Stuart Weitzman boutique opened […]
It’s just about spring time in the real world but in the fashion world we are springing forward to the looks of fall and winter for Ottawa Fashion Week. The three day runway event took place from March 18th until March 20th in the amazing National Gallery of Canada at 380 Sussex drive. The event […]
With the 2010 Winter Olympics becoming a distant memory, it is a good time to visit Vancouver, now that the dust has settled. To be sure, the city has gone through a major metamorphosis over the past several years. With its massive redevelopment, some say the city that was nicknamed “Vangroovy” is now a mere […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz According to Joe Fresh‘s Twitter and Facebook pages, they will be opening stores not connected to supermarkets this spring. Three of the locations will be in the Greater Toronto Area (Vaughan Mills Shopping Centre, Bramalea City Centre and Heartland in Mississauga) and the fourth will be in Rocky View, Alberta. This is after […]
