Lowe and I had the pleasure of a ‘sneak peak’ of the highly anticipated Victoria’s Secret store at Yorkdale last night.
Unfortunately for some reason we weren’t allowed to take pictures – a room full of bloggers and no cameras…. weird – but I can happily report that the store is everything we have come to love (and cross the border for) in Victoria’s Secret and ended up buying a bunch of stuff we needed and an equal amount of what we didn’t…. The only thing they were missing was the ‘Swim’ line, but they assured me that they will have it next year and it will be in store ‘seasonally’ thereafter.
Victoria’s Secret officially opens to the public tomorrow – Thursday August 26th – with a special appearance by none other than super hotness herself – Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima.

Our favorite beauty mavens are set to kill us again with the launch of their new concept store this Fall, 6. Located right next door to GEE Beauty, 6 promises to provide Toronto with some of the hottest ‘must haves’ in beauty, living, grooming and travel.
GEE Beauty is easily one of my favorite pamper spots in Toronto. The girls do such a good job with everything from services to style and I never leave the place empty handed (I want everything in that place!) and now an entire store! Woop! *starts saving my pennies*
“At GEE Beauty, we know that our clients lead busy lives, and through our passion and expertise we ensure that their experience at GEE is inviting, inspiring, and they leave feeling gorgeous.” We are applying this same mantra to 6. “At 6, we’re all about 6appeal.”
The GEE Beauty Girls
Congrats ladies! Wishing you all the success in the world! Thank you for raising the beauty and style bar in Toronto, we need more GEE!
Stay tuned for the exact launch date.

Every once in a while there comes a designer that really makes you get EXCITED about clothes and the direction Fashion is going and the talent inside some people. Alber Elbaz for Lanvin absolutely does it for me in the high-end category, but the contemporary award most definitely goes to Alexander Wang …*sighs* he has my fashion heart!
Without further a due, be in awe of some of the F/W 2010 collection! I’ll take everything in a size 4, size Small PLEASE!
Clean sharp lines, impeccable tailoring, a new modern-spin on an old fave such as suiting! A sleepy-hollow equestrian living in 2010 I believe is the perfect bubble to describe this collection! Thick-knits and short skirts is the mantra and I love it…well at least until about mid-November when it starts to get crrrrrrrazy cold lol!
And while the collection isn’t “all black everything” it might as well be, splash some gray, a bit of camel and a hint of Charcoal and that’s a wrap; but if all black isn’t in, then I have to be out, because this collection is too gorge to pass up!
Peep the rest of the collection and the Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (lol!) shoes after the jump!
Looks like this will be the last collection via this killer combo, as per the Fashionistas
Say Rest in Peace to an amazing collabo, after the squeeze!
I noticed a new store on Queen today. It’s a Roots x Douglas Coupland pop-up shop!

I really like the collabo. It takes the heritage of Roots and turns it on it’s head, infusing it with ‘pop art’ references, loud colours and graphic prints. This is something Canadian novelist and artist, Douglas Coupland is known for. His forward thinking and creativity are the reason he has published 13 novels, seven non-fiction books, designed art and clothing, and has written screenplays for film and television. I’m getting tired just thinking about all of it!!
Roots x Douglas Coupland Pop-Up Shop is located at 680 Queen St. West.
Read on to see more artwork from Douglas Coupland.

Hey Warhol, move over!
Big Bang, Shops at Don Mills
Hey Coco, the fallen soldier all makes sense now! Ha! (inside blonde joke moment lol)
I love Roots for expanding their style and trying something new with an amazing artist like Douglas Coupland.

Hanky Panky’s
“The world’s most comfortable thong since 1986″
I’ve seen them all over the net, Holt Renfrew and now at the cash desk of your local Aritzia!
Coming in an array of colours, such as vivid royal blues, pastel pinks and neutral beiges … They seem to be all the rage; with a price tag of $25.00!
So I need to know ladies, are they really all they’re cracked up to be? Is $25.00 a small price to pay for these supreme underbeings?! Or is a lace thong at La Senza, Calvin Klein or Jacob just as cozy?
Tweet it!

Unfortunately, I don’t have a passport holder .. I’m always just throwing it in my purse or carry-on when I’m rushing to get through Customs and then running very manic-like to get on board!
A pretty passport holder is so needed .. Here are some that I’ve recently drooled over
Classic LV holder, I heart the Red one
Timeless lacquered Tiffany’s & Co holder, available in Black, Pink and Tiffany’s Blue
Metallic Kate Spade holder, love this one … so shiny you could never lose it!
This ones for you Coco!
Valextra and OrphanAid Africa have collaborated to create two beautiful hand-crafted leather with the continent of Africa stitched on it, and of course a portion of the sales go to OrphanAid Africa
Do you have a pretty passport holder? My bf purchased one at a variety store in Europe with the Canadian coat of arms on it and he absolutely loves it, where did you find yours?
