According to BlogTO, anyway. Toronto Fashion Week will now run by Peter Freed of Freed Developments and will be held in Yorkville rather than David Pecault Square, essentially a late trade with TIFF (The Toronto International Film Festival). TIFF, after all, used to be mostly in Yorville. This probably means it will be held in […]
The Sephora in Toronto’s Bloor/Yorkville neighbourhood recently moved to a new, bigger location a block or so east. I have to admit that I was excited about the move – a bigger spot means more room for products, right? After all, I’m pretty much a Sephora addict – I’ve been a VIBRouge for at least […]
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, […]
…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 […]
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 […]
Hyba is a new brand of active wear by Reitmans that has recently launched across Canada. Unlike many other national brands, Hyba, which has taken over some Smartset stores (also owned by Reitmans), carries a very wide range of sizes, from XS to 3X and inseam lengths varying from 28″ to 34″. While smaller sizes […]
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 […]
Well, not exactly a “farmer’s market” in the sense of Brickworks, but definitely delicious treats and more! The pop-up will be outside the Club Monaco flagship store on Bloor and Avenue Road from now until mid-fall, according to the press release. Vendors are P&L, Boxcar Social, Sweet Woodruff, Philip’s Ice Pops and The Bake Shoppe. […]
With all the construction in Yorkville, I’m amazed people are still coming. But I think the nasty construction in the area is deterring some stores from opening here sooner. That, and, of course, the lack of space (which is an issue in other parts of downtown Toronto as well). But now that Nine West is […]
Marilyn. Campbell’s Soup. Everyone is familiar with Andy Warhol. And a travelling exhibit, Andy Warhol Revisited, curated by Revolver Gallery from Los Angeles, is popping up in Yorkville starting tomorrow, July 1, 2015. Taking over the old Guess? and Porche Design spaces on Bloor, just west of Bay, the exhibit will be in town until […]
