God bless Todd Selby & his insane photography collection of creative people in their creative spaces. Toronto places have yet to make it on the list, so Todd... consider this an invitation.

Walking The High Line

It's official! New York is the super coolest.







Welcome to the High Line, a raised park in the sky! Built on an old freight train track constructed in Manhattan in the 1930's, the High Line opened on June 8th, 2009. For more info, click here.

We want SPOTIFY!

The next big thing to be making it across the music industry is Spotify, a search engine-esque jukebox of practically every song ever written. All you need to do is download & install and you can be listening to any song your wee musical heart desires FOR FREE. Move over, iTunes! You can even make playlists for friends and coworkers. The only problematic thing to Spotify is that you can't download the music files themselves, so they make a permanent home only within your Spotify account. No MP3 or iPod transfers here. As well, in order for that "free" bit to happen, a good ole advert pops up every five songs or so. If this annoys you, you can purchase an ad-free Spotify account for a monthly fee.

Sounds too good to be true!! Unfortunately for us CANADIANS, Spotify is not yet available in our country due to licensing restrictions. However, send them your email address here and hopefully due to maximum Canadianus volume we can get on that sh*t.

For the rest of you non-Canadians, enjoy Spotify! Know that we're deeply jealous of your free playlists and hate you.

Opening: TOPSHOP

Hallo Fashion Lovas!

I can hardly type I'm so excited. Today is a glorious, GLORIOUS day!!

TOPSHOP has finally opened its first North American location in New York today [of course, where else?!]. Thanks be to Kate Moss and J-LO who helped to kick off the festivities last night in good ole NYC.

Now please join me in a prayer for Dundas Square:

Dear Lord of Heavenly Couture and Beaded, Beautiful Things,
Hear our cries oh Lord, and have mercy, for H&M is not nearly enough.
We know you know how much our Toronto ladies deserve a British fashionista invasion [and at affordable retail prices].
Please send us a TOPSHOP of our own so we can remain to be inspired by the outfits of Kate Moss, Jessi Cruickshank and Dan Levy.
By the name of the Feather, the Sequin and the Holey Cardigan,
Amen.
