ShareI was lucky enough to be chosen to shop the Marni at H&M collection the evening before its launch at one of the Toronto stores.  I was pleasantly surprised when I got a DM notification on Twitter from the wonderful people at H&M Canada.  I was happy as well, since it meant that I wouldn’t [...]

ShareThe Yonge & Bloor store was, as usual, relatively tame compared to Eaton Centre (and especially Yorkdale).  I had a 10 am time slot and managed to get one of the dresses I wanted (another pink one wasn’t even at the Bloor store)…here’s the fitting room picture:   And another picture here: Bag: 442 McAdam [...]
