Our latest round up of style mavens were people we spotted at everything from VIP parties to L'Oreal Fashion Week.

Julia McEwen is wearing Prada shoes, a BEDO top, a vintage skirt, and a grey mini jacket from Holt Renfrew.  All accessories are vintage.  Julia is a beauty editor and a fixture at the front row of Fashion Week and always looks perfectly put together.  Her secret to...

Bath & Body Works, the chain responsible for our cross border splurges and resulting lies at customs, has been rapidly opening stores across Canada since September 2008.  We can only say, it's about time!  This excellent news naturally means lighter luggage and more room for shoe purchases on your next trip south.

As with nearly everything in Canada, Ontario is got it first...

We are pleased to announce the winner of the $100 Gift Certificate to Girl Friday from the Shop Crawl #4! The winner was drawn from those who reviewed at least 5 stores or items from our last Shop Crawl.

Andy The Anh defined Spring 2009 with airy flowing dresses, sparkling hair accessories and appliques and embellishments.

Their collection, "Future Folk" combines high-tech with folk-craft to give the future a softer...

Our Style Hunter, Marayna Dickinson was at the Greta Constantine Spring/Summer 2007show and snapped some shots from the runway.  It appears buns and maxi dresses prevail. Are you ready for this?


Women 5"5 and over look elegant in a long flowing Maxi dress but
shorties would be wise to opt for a cut above the knee instead.



Jewel tones are still a big hit and the dress isn't going away any...

Everyone thanks again for another awesome Shop Crawl! You guys are such a special bunch and we really enjoyed having you at the event!
