Actually, I’ve never seen the deals so sweet – when labels like Prada and Lanvin are 50% off by mid-June, you know it’s not business as usual. The temptation is to spend, spend, spend – and then end up with a bag full of pieces that spe ...more

I took a whirlwind trip to Paris last week. At only two nights, it was painful (I never seem to be able to sleep) but, then again, Paris is always fabulous. I had just two hours to myself so I quickly toured one of my favourite shopping streets – rue St. Honore-Faubourg. I love checking out the ...more

Now that sandal and short weather is finally here, stores are clearing out their summer stock. It’s a great time to pick up some hot deals earlier than ever.

Week of May 25Last week while visiting Italy I took a detour to Switzerland to check out a buzzed-about designer discount outlet.

Week of April 27 One of the best parts of my job is the variety of events I'm invited to. Last week ranged from the Brazilian Ball to the Becel Love Your Heart Benefit Concert. Saturday's Brazilian Ball was over-the-top as usual! This isn't the night to pull out your trusty LBD. The be ...more

Spring party season is here and I'm back to my usual what-to-wear dilemma. Budgets are tight this season so I've got two choices - bug my designer friends for a frock or shop in my own closet. That's easy - friends first! Dressing for a black tie gala is never a matter of just grabbing what ...more
