days go by featured on blogto
My blog was recently featured on BlogTo.com’s Blogerati files. Very exciting! I want to thank Lily from BlogTo for contacting me and asking if I’d like to have it up there. It’s been great getting the extra hits and I think my site is showing up more often in search engine results (usually for Toronto-based…

toronto tonight
I will be attending another Toronto Tonight! fashion event this evening. I am going to help out Laurie Alers, of Mechanical Donkey, with modelling her clothing (like last time). On the Meetup.com site for the group, it mentions “six industry insiders” will be attending. Sounds intriguing… in any case, I’m curious to see the neat…

new york, here i come!
I’m off to New York City today! I’ve never been… or at least, if I have, I was too young to remember it. From one big city, to another: I wonder what it will be like? Two friends have been recently and they both said they felt much safer and more comfortable in Toronto than…

the dresden dolls concert
Saturday night was a Panic! At the Disco concert, with The Dresden Dolls as the opening act. I went and saw it with my friend Yevgeny, who runs the YListen radio show early Sunday mornings. He’s got a good review of the show up on his website, so I’ll just post these pics I managed…

umbrella adventures
Every day I ride the Spadina streetcar from Spadina subway station down to where I work, south of Queen St. For the past few months, I’ve been noticing a particular store window that always has colourful, interesting umbrellas in its window. The displays change twice weekly at least, and I curiously watched almost every day…

jeans from city of angels on queen st. west
I found a pair of Rock & Republic jeans that: fit me comfortably were the style, colour and shape I was looking for actually made my butt look good (for once – this is key and I haven’t been able to find any lately that do this, for some reason!!) They cost $345. Apparently the…

red and white again, but this time it’s not x-mas
Happy Canada Day! 139 years… I think next year’s gonna be a big one. And in 11 years, we’ll have a huge one. Oh… 11 years… I’ll be 35… woah. I’m off celebrating Canada’s glorious woodlands, camping near Algonquin park for the weekend (yeah, I wrote this post ahead of time). In any case, you…

the garbage goblins have landed in toronto
Not to steal a topic, but I recently saw a poster for the TTC’s new ad campaign, Put The Garbage Where It Belongs, and it made me laugh out loud. On the subway platform. When I was by myself. Garbage goblins! I love it! It was so damn cheesey, it really did hit me. Spacing‘s…
Got any book recommendations?
