There’s nothing like some good ol’ shoe candy to drool over just before the weekend hits. These laser-cut, fine leather slingbacks are reminiscent of the popular clog (RIP), but are updated with a stacked wooden heel and quirky details.
Yep, it sure does suck when it’s your job to typeset and you let “your” stand in for “you’re.” Again. After 2,000 copies have already been printed. Remember: “your” is a possessive adjective and “you’re” means “you are.” Example: it’s your fault that we have to be stuck in this sweaty basement for another week printing out more copies. You’re such a tool.

The Beach Boys were in Toronto on Tuesday night, playing less the part of legendary rockers and more the role of ringleaders in an 11,000-person sing-along. The crowd on hand at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre, most of whom had clearly grown up on the band, happily served as back-up vocalists, lending their voices to an anthology of Beach Boy classics.
Professing my love for denim is nothing new to What I Wore. I really do love it, and always have. My jean jackets, for example, are like my best friends: I love them all for different reasons. There is just something so classic and comforting about denim in (almost) every style that it comes in.
With bands such as Wintersleep, Constantines and Fleet Foxes getting regular radio play, it comes as no surprise that Toronto-based folk/indie-rock band The Wooden Sky has an ever-growing fan base.

Note to parents: when you work away from home too much and raise your eight kids on Alice in Wonderland and Ovaltine, you get this: an uncalled for sense of entitlement.
Live from the CenTre is a different kind of comedy troupe. Comprised of familiar faces from The Second City, this group takes on socially important and relevant issues — like teaching dogs how to read or recommending beets to cure depression — via an improvised web series.
Local fashion magazine Plaid has teamed up with Found Riches, a new shopping app, to present West End Riches, a shopping event that will keep participating west-end boutiques open until midnight, and, of course, offering discounts — so long as you snap and upload a picture of your new purchase.
Acclaimed mixologist Moses McIntee popped onto the Queen West scene earlier this year as the driving force behind Lucid Cocktail and Kitchen, which billed itself as a prime destination for molecularly-inspired libations. Yet just a few months down the road, we are surprised to learn that a regime change has taken place, with brand new management, a radically pared-down cocktail menu and a new pizza concept. The spot is now named simply Lucid.
We know all about throwing shade at political rallies, but throwing punches? That’s hardcore. And the guy on the receiving end is just so cool about it. He’s all like, “Give it to me.” Somebody probably said, “Dude, no one’s gonna to show up at the rally,” and he said, “Don’t worry about it” and then orchestrated the whole thing just to grab some attention.
