Since we’re all about the ‘it’ bag, we love discovering a cool eco-friendly one. Fleabags ($550 /US $440) – yes we chuckled at the name too – was the brainchild of New York-based designer Shira Entis and lawyer Alexandra Bell. Tired of lugging their flea market finds (very eco-chic ladies!) home in too many plastic [...]...
It’s time to indulge in a pedi – whether at home or in the salon - and get those tootsies ship-shape and ready to sport the trendiest sandals of the summer.
Gladiator
Variations on this trend allow gladiators to appear season-after-season yet remain hotter than ever. Fortunately, this time around, the unflattering lace-up-the-leg is replaced by a [...]...

The idea is to register yourself, your workplace or your friends and raise funds while wearing your loudest, wackiest, craziest shirt possible. Think Jeans Day but for another cause and with crazy prints.
Participants are encouraged to send in their loud photos for a chance to win 2 tickets to see Michael Bublé live in concert, dinner for 2 at The Shore Club, plus other prizes that include dinner at The Keg, Hy’s and Gotham’s.
There will also be a Loud Shirt fashion show at The Bay on Friday at 6:00pm. Follow them on Twitter @loudshirtday_ca for news and updates....
Today it’s appropriate to own at least three pairs of jeans to take you through from day-to-night and weekday-to-weekend. Yet despite their ubiquitous nature, shopping for jeans still strikes fear in many. Maybe it’s because while they can look so good they can easily go so wrong (think of the ‘mommy jean’ phenomenon). But a [...]...

So, Mexx is offering all their men’s cropped pants for 50% off today.
What are your thoughts on men wearing cropped pants?
I’m somewhere in the middle. On someone who is normally highly stylish I think they can pull it off, but on a regular joe they scare me a bit
You?
Thanks couponlady for this......
The annual Army & Navy Shoe Sale happens this Wednesday April 21st at 8:00am sharp.
This event which usually sees a line up forming outside before the crack of dawn features designer shoes at rock-bottom prices.
The sale’s been around for over 50 years and in 2008 they sold close to 80,000 pairs of shoes. For 2010, Army & Navy is stocked up with over 100,000 pairs including labels such as Steve Madden, Christian Audigier, Diesel, and Marc Fisher.
Last year I interviewed the Junior Buyer for the Shoe Department at Army & Navy who offered the following pieces of advice:
Wear flip flops for ease of trying on pair after pair
Grab a basket or the complimentary A&N shopping bag, fill it with all the shoes you like, and grab yourself an empty corner to try your shoes...

We have a passion for pretty undies, and WonderBra is giving us a great reason to feel good about adding to our collection this October. When you purchase style 7472 - a limited edition bra - a $5 contribution will be made to The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
The Flex Frame in Stretch Perfect Lining makes for a comfortable and supportive wear. Lace cups are smooth, shapely and won’t show under your favourite T. The feminine details - soft pink hue and pretty straps - speak to all women.
This is the 10th year that WonderBra has been a proud supporter The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, and we think that is something to celebrate.
