Lavish and Squalor really saved me.  I don't mean that in an abstract sort of way like when people say things like 'punk music saved me', I mean that I was in fact faced with adversity and L & S provided the rescue.  

I used to work right around the…More »

As anyone who knows me well knows that I am obsessed with getting Shellac manicures.  I've been getting them non-stop for over a year and have no  plans of stopping them anytime soon.  I do have my tried-and-true salon where I go regularly however I…More »

Yay FTR!

I do quite like Le Chateau.  It has changed a lot over the years, I remember back in the day it was a little more cheaper-end quality, nowadays though its a lot classier and carries everything from the more casual trends to formal wear.

American Apparel is a horrible store with disgustingly high prices, incredibly ugly clothes and very rude employees.

I really can't believe that anyone could justify paying $90 for a knit tank dress that is so fragile and cheap feeling that I know it…More »

Brass Vixens in the new incarnation of Aradia Fitness which used to operate out of this location.  Due to some rebranding all Aradia's are now knows as Brass Vixens.  And because it isn't just a clever name,  you will in fact find 6 BRASS poles in…More »

Yay FTR!!

Jacob Lingerie is located on the basment floor of the 2 level Jacob store  inside the Manulife Center. It makes for a great one-stop shopping experience as you can shop for business and casual wear upstairs then head downstairs for something…More »

Yay FTR!

The front desk person was very curt and so was the one person I got on the phone.  Thier website is hard to navigate and is not clearly organized.  Overall they don't seem to be all that helpful, then again maybe I just got them on a bad day.More »

As malls go Yorkdale is definitely a mall worth checking out.  

The parking lot is mammoth and understandably chaotic no matter what time of day you are there.  There is also the commuter parking lot separate from the mall parking lot which I got to…More »
