Colour me (and my Wardrobe) Happy

May 8, 2012
By
jcrew dip dye

With the warm sunshine on the horizon we can trade our thick wool sweaters for breezy tanks, sandals, skirts (of all lengths) and colour, oh the glorious colour. Don’t get me wrong, I love the forest green and navy that I have been hibernating in for the last four months, but the temperatures are...

Scene & Heard: City of Craft

What can you get for one dollar these days? A chocolate bar? Nope. A ride on the TTC? In our dreams. The newspaper? Not even! Well this past Saturday  your hard earned dollar paid the nominal admission fee to City of Craft (at Trinity St. Paul’s United Church on Bloor) for their spring sale...

Luxe on the home front can be yours

March 29, 2012
By
Benjamin Moore Tandoori, from the Colour Stories full spectrum paint collection

When it comes to fashion and home trends, it’s the luxury brands that lead the way. When we fall in love with them, we fall for more than just the merchandise. The hot pink of the shopping bag, the signature blue jewellery box or the cheerful yellow champagne label give us a little glimpse...

Photography by Mirian Njoh / Opique

It’s no secret that I am a huge Joe Fresh fan. I like the clothes, love the price point and enjoy the convenience of replenishing my fridge and closet at the same time. For these reasons I have kept a close eye on Joe throughout the years and watched the retailer steer through murky...

  World Mastercard Fashion Week (aka Toronto Fashion Week) has descended on our fair city.  Droves of well-heeled folks are storming King Street to see what’s what in Canadian fashion.

March 13, 2012

pavoni33

It’s a tough act to follow the always jam packed Holt Renfrew show, however it has been several seasons since I’ve seen an evening show with empty rows. This may have been a result of the somewhat rainy weather or the fact that no press release had been sent out about the show. In...

Scene & Heard: The store formerly known as Mark’s Work Wearhouse

March 5, 2012
By
Marks boots

When I was invited to the Mark’s (formerly Mark’s Work Wearhouse) Spring / Summer 2012 preview, I was more than a little skeptical. Mark’s is where my Dad shops. It’s known for pants that hold hammers and zip off at the knee – practical clothing – and sometimes all that practicality can be kind...

Scene & Heard: WORN Fashion Journal

February 27, 2012
By
worn202[1]

If you’re into smart, eclectic fashion design, then WORN Fashion Journal should be sitting on your nightstand. This independent fashion “journal”, named exactly so because it sounded better than “magazine”, shuns high-paying advertisers and bourgeois fashion ideals. WORN is exactly what we’ve come to expect from local thrift shops, record stores and coffee houses...
