Love it? Win @ Reia Studio

Love it? Win @ Reia Studio

They are fashionable people, doing fashionable things. There is a serious shift happening in Toronto's fashion landscape where tiny boutiques & studios are popping up all across town. With excellently curated lines, adorable shops & a fun online presence, it's heating up over who has the hottest wares. ReiaStudio is a new love of mine. Although their collection selection is relatively small, it's so well curated that you want to buy the entire line. Carrying labels like Tilo Scarves (you might recognize from Mila Kunis in Black Swan), Rita D., Dennis Merotto (Lida Baday's previous senior designer and...

Mayer Hawthorne and Chromeo came to get down

Mayer Hawthorne and Chromeo came to get down

  You would think by the end of a 30 date US/Canada tour a musician would be a little run down, a little tired, and maybe wearing yesterday's clothes. But for the last stop on their Nights Fall tour both Detroit's Mayer Hawthorne with his backing band the Country and Montreal's Chromeo looked like they'd but on their best and were still full of enough energy to bring the Sound Academy crowd up and then bring it back down, nice and low.
From centre stage Mayer, dressed in a fine red suit, told the crowd how he's one...

According to a Queer Grrrl: Summer Sucked and Time to Hide Inside.

According to a Queer Grrrl: Summer Sucked and Time to Hide Inside.

Summer's almost over, and I couldn't be happier. Being a Femme of a very fair complexion, avoiding the sun and greasing my arms up with SPF 90 are daily occurances for me when it's plus 40. When I felt that first blast of cold air on Monday, I suspect I was one of the happiest people in Toronto. As a result of my lack of love for the summer months, I spend a lot of time, indoors. So during the day, drapes closed blasting my A/C with face promptly in front of my monitor. In the process I found a few...


Casie Stewart Interviews Kreayshawn

Casie Stewart Interviews Kreayshawn

We talked girl power, sisters, her style and what's comin' up next for her badass self.

According To A Queer Grrrl:A Girl Night OUT versus a Girl Night IN

Fellow fine females, this blog is dedicated to US. To explore a new comfort level of enjoying your own company. It's time to ditch any ideas that "me" time is limited to internet surfing, gym work outs and lunch at the food court. Go beyond sterotypes and really make ME time important. Here are a couple ideas to ponder. What would give you the perfect break from a hectic schedule? Being OUT and enjoying all the city has to offer? Or Staying IN and bringing luxuriousness to yourself. Or maybe a happy medium somewhere in between.
