Suggest Shopping: House of Spy

It's no secret that House of Spy is one of my favourite Canadian designers. I love that their clothes are so easy to wear - dressed down for a backyard bbq, or dressed up for a night out dancing with friends - you always end up looking good and feeling pretty.

In Love With: Tie Dye

Shorts have always been a completely functional part of my wardrobe, kept solely for days when I'm doing household errands via bike around the city, planting flowers on my rooftop patio, or cleaning house. Strictly utilitarian...until now!

Artist Spotlight: Christine Navin

What first attracted me to Christine Navin's photographs was the honesty and rawness of her subjects. I was left intrigued, wishing to have been a fly on the wall for just a few more moments after the photo was snapped. Beautiful and slightly imperfect – Navin's photos evoke a nostalgic longing for those moody days of fading youth.
