Curvaceous Consignments in Thornhill: NOW CLOSED
UPDATE: Curvaceous Consignments permanently closed in 2020. Shopping for resale clothing as a curvy woman can be challenging, because in typical consignments shops there is usually far less of a variety of fashions in sizes over 12. Curvaceous Consignments on Yonge Street in Thornhill is the only consignment store in the GTA that caters to […]

The Tat Patch
A pair of jeans I have had for a couple of years have a huge hole in the knee. I know many who pay a lot for this look but it’s just not my thing. I feel like these jeans owe me a few more years, and that led me to the Tat Patch, the […]

Revel & Riot ‘God Hates Bags’ Bag
As much as I love my Fieldguided Thunder in Our Hearts bag, I am tucking it away for now. My Revel & Riot tote just arrived, and it’s pretty cool. The slogan “God Hates Bags” is a parody of the hateful signs carried by followers of pastor Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church, which […]

Sorel Toddler Boots From GetOutsideShoes.com
It’s winter and I needed a pair of boots for my little man, who likes to play outside hard. There is no wet muddy ditch that goes unexplored and no puddle that goes unstomped in. I really wanted Sorels because they are super warm and super waterproof, and I didn’t want to actually have to […]

Spier & Mackay Shirts | Mississauga
Isn’t this a nice shirt? It’s made by Spier & Mackay, a family-run Canadian company. Their mission is to sell excellent quality shirts that are affordable. I discovered Spier & Mackay when Teambuy recently ran an offer for off-the-rack men’s shirts (it was a great deal, three shirts for $99.) I do love group deal […]

Kathleen’s Closet: Wardrobe Services in Toronto: NOW CLOSED
Someone recently told me that women only wear 20 percent of their clothes and shoes. This seems entirely plausible to me. Recently I purged my closet- really cleared it out. I had so much stuff I couldn’t see what I had anymore if that makes sense (my friends tell me it does.) I had no […]

Very Good Causes: New Circles Charity
Many of us have closets stuffed full of clothes we have barely worn. Every once in awhile we should give some of those clothes to charity. New Circles Charity is a Toronto non-profit organization that provides new and gently used clothing to people who need them. Cocktails & Closets, hosted by Fashion Forward, was held […]

That was the scene tonight at the grand opening exhibition of Rescue, Ossington’s newest boutique. The exhibition showcased Rescue’s fall collection. The pieces are […]

Model Citizen in Kensington Market: NOW CLOSED
UPDATE: Model Citizen on Augusta has permanently closed. Awww I don’t know if hipsters ruin everything, but this shirt spotted on display at Model Citizen on Augusta is pretty great. This is actually a pretty hip boutique with a terrific selection of on-trend designer clothing. Owner Julian and his terrific staff will help even the […]
