Snowfall in Toronto this winter has been, well, non-existent so this city’s shoe lovers have been able to go crazy and kick off their usual cold weather boots and Uggs (thank goodness!) in favour of more interesting footwear.

Garnishing closets with Smoking Lillies
Kuma | March 5th, 2010
Consistency. It’s something that Vancouver designers battle with on a daily basis. Some switch shops more times than they have hot meals, some switch styles faster than superman changes clothes. So it’s nice to know that somewhere up Main Street, the ladies behind Smoking Lilly are holding down the fort.
Stop Boat shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!
Antoine | March 4th, 2010
As a great fashion lover, I check quite daily Fashion blogs like High Snobiety, Hypebeast but also all this new generations of e- fashion shop like Très Bien Shop (great selection from Sweden) or Studio Homme, based in Paris.
For the last two years, Fashion divas have tried to install Boat shoes as the ultimate alternative to sneakers.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Winter in Montreal is not for the faint of heart. In January and February, the coldest months of the year, despite the city’s reputation as a mecca of style, there are times when sheer necessity dictates one must cover up at all costs or risk turning into a human ice statue. The classy solution to this problem: shell out $700 or so and buy a Canada-Goose down jacket. Read More

The Booty Hunt
Vanessa | February 26th, 2010
American Apparel is officially out of control.
It started with 70s porn kitsch in their store, models in increasingly compromising positions and an obvious embrace of the amateur porn aesthetic. It went from the titillation of using “real workers” as their models to using “real porn stars.” And now, there is the Booty Hunt.
Feminine, fancy hats and headbands
Sage | February 26th, 2010
I am happy to see hats, headbands, fancy and lacy bobby pins, and twenties-inspired headbands are in the mix again. As someone who LOVES girly accessories, as well as always wanting to make my short hair more exciting, it’s fun to be able to find more stuff like this readily available in even guilty-pleasure stores, like Forever 21… Read More
Fuzzy Wuzzy
Claire | February 25th, 2010
My favorite winter fashion accessory du jour is fur: real or faux, displayed on trim on bomber hats, scarves, on hoods, as trim on the ends of the sleeves and bottom edges of winter coats, on the brims of winter boots, or worn as a puff style hat, fur is a trend that is both fashionable and functional.
