this problem has been solved. This functional product integrates a clever
cup holder into your standard umbrella. Form meet function...

Sweet Candy

Dylan's Candy Bar is coming to Canada -- in Toronto and Montreal's Holt Renfrew.

When?
Not quite sure...







But we can't wait to bask in the retail experience that is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory meets F.A.O. Schwartz.

Forever Fashions

It's about time! The arrival of Forever 21 (XXI) or Tournée 21 to Montréal may come as a shock to those living States side or in other parts of Canada, but as a person who has a closet space devoted to this store, its arrival is long over due.

Located in the downtown core, it is surrounded by shops that may be on the mark but not at the same price point. Even with the converted inflated prices, it is still a deal. Current, ripped-from-the-runway, fast fashions with decent pricing -- we approve!

Location: Complexe Les Ailes 677 St. Catherine W. (corner University St.)
Size: 18,000- to 19,000-square-foot on two floors
Pricing: $4 - $60 (taxes not included)
Read more and see pics of the opening day + lineup at Mode Trotter.


PS: Another XXI is soon to come. (St. Catherine Ouest and de la Montagne: Old GAP Store)

Its about time

Net-a-Porter will open TheOutNet.com -- basically a Net-a-Porter outlet! Hopefully the sales will be better than the ones in the past. This is just perfect for the everyday fashionista, recessionista, frugalista and cheapista. It will be open for shopping in February but you can register now. Better yet, I'm making my wishlist on Net-a-Porter now and hoping for them to be on sale in the near future.
