The newest boutique to open its doors in the swanky Summerhill neighbourhood is Luxe & Found, selling an eclectic collection of brightly-coloured jewellery and accessories hand-picked by owner (and self-proclaimed “accessories fanatic”) Karin Thompson.
Everything in this photo — the background walls, my hair, my outfit — is all about “the fade”. Ombre (fashion-speak for colour gradation) is no new hair trend to talk about (I recently cut off a cool five inches of my bleached out ends) but we are not here to talk about my hair. I only mention it because looking at this photo, I now see ombre everywhere. That wasn’t planned during the shoot — we just liked the colours together.
Then Again Vintage, which opened its doors on May 6 in the up-and-coming Junction neighbourhood, will be holding a pop-up sale over the next few weeks, featuring vintage clothing and costumes pulled from the contents of a former film wardrobe rental company.

Torontonians who have ever fantasized about living in a hotel Eloise-style will soon have the chance to take a little piece of hotel decadence home with them.

“How am I supposed to get dressed for work when it’s too hot for clothes?” This is a style question we’ve been asked one too many times in the midst of summer’s hot hot heat. Looking easy, breezy and beautiful actually isn’t so easy when dealing with sticky humidity and high temperatures in Toronto.
This is embarrassing to admit, but up until last week, I didn’t know what National Denim Day was. Admittedly, I’d seen and heard little bits and bobs about it, but never processed what it was really about. This is ridiculous for a couple of reasons: one, why would a girl who loves denim ignore National Denim Day? And two, the annual day has been going strong since 1997!

You’ve got T-minus two days until Mother’s Day. Freaking out about what to get her? You’re not the only one. Besides the obvious bouquet of flowers, we’ve rounded up a list of gifts to grab in Toronto to suit every budget – no matter how big or small.
Every week, we gather our favourite tweets from in and around Toronto’s fashion scene.

For quite some time now, the dainty stud has dominated earlobes. The fash pack, it seems, favours the oversized statement necklace (and plenty of arm candy) over flashy earrings. But fashion works in a cycle, and when our desires for high-impact ear wear washes out, it is sure to come right back in again.
