Yorkdale Celebrates Anticipated Stores With a Party

After announcing a short list of new stores, many of them first-to-market, on Tuesday, Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre celebrated with media at a cocktail party at Dine on 3 Wednesday where media had the chance to meet with some representatives from stores that will be opening their doors at the mall later this year or […]

Yorkdale’s Dine on 3: Food Court Goes Upscale

Yorkdale’s food court, Dine on 3, is no ordinary mall food court.  In fact, it isn’t even a typical more “upscale” food court like the Eaton Centre’s Urban Eatery.  Taking over what was the upper floors of Eatons (and then Sears),  outlets include the usual suspects of KFC, Subway and A&W as well as more […]

Tory Opens in Toronto!

While I didn’t get the opportunity to go to Tory Burch‘s preview event for media on May 3 (wouldn’t have had time anyway, considering it was the same night as TFI25), I did get a chance to finally check it out.  As I didn’t want to brave the lines on opening day and subsequent weekend, […]

Ann Taylor and Kate Spade Join Tory Burch at Yorkdale…(UPDATED – FALSE INFO)

Whoops!  The news is not true, according to a note from a rep at Oxford Properties. The floor plan that was originally posted in this article was not supposed to be public and has since been removed.  However, the Ann Taylor/Kate Spade speculation is still on my books, especially after Kate Spade sponsored a TIFF […]

Cynthia’s Banana Republic Mad Men Collection Loot!

I walked into the Yorkdale store expecting disappointment, that it was going to be like last time, where there were NO PETITES AVAILABLE.  Turned out I was wrong.  Sort of.  As noted in the earlier post, there were only three dresses – two dresses inspired by Joan and one by Betty – on the racks.  […]

Mad Men for Banana Republic Party at Yorkdale!

On the eve of the line’s launch, Banana Republic held a party celebrating Janie Bryant’s second Mad Men collection at many stores across North America, including Toronto’s Yorkdale location.  With 1960s-inspired appetizers from Daniel et Daniel and as well as cocktails, the event also featured Toronto stylist, Tammy Palmer, presenting styling tips for spring, featuring […]

J.Crew and Express Opening at the Toronto Eaton Centre

…according to their website.  I am assuming that J.Crew will be taking the current Harry Rosen spot (Harry is moving to what used to be McDonald’s later this year) as I can’t think of any other place it COULD go right now (unless Jacob is downsizing and moving elsewhere.  But J.Crew is a third floor […]

J.Crew Opening Another Toronto Store

In case you haven’t caught my post over at DelectablyChic!, J.Crew is opening another Toronto location at the Eaton Centre later this year!  Other stores slated to hit the downtown mall include Express, Pink (opening across from sister store, Victoria’s Secret) and Juicy Couture.   What stores would YOU like to see in Toronto?  What […]

Toronto Store Openings: Banana Republic, Yorkdale and UGG Australia in Yorkville

I attended two different store openings yesterday.  The first was the Banana Republic store at Yorkdale, which had been undergoing renovations for the past few months.  The new store, which is over 13,000 square feet, is designed with a completely new concept, giving shoppers a very different shopping experience.  Created with a “central boulevard” lined […]

TopShop Officially Opens in Toronto!

After months of having small sections at The Bay on Queen Street, TopShop and TopMan finally opened its doors at Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre.  Crowds (and a decent size one, considering that it’s a work day) lined up outside of the store, waiting to get in.  Because there was limited space, security was only allowing […]
