Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 05/16/2012 - 16:47

Our enthusiasm for Gap's new collection of Ts was so strong that it resounded all the way to Manhattan's Time Square where twitpics of the colourful evening were projected on a giant screen, catching New Yorkers in rush hour. How cool is that? read more...

Remember that episode of Gilmore Girls with the dance marathon? Everyone dressed up in period dress, Rory got dumped, and OH HOW THE TOWN DANCED! (Not because Rory got dumped. They danced to win a big trophy.) Ever since that episode, we've dreamed of our own dance marathon. And now, OUR DAY HAS ARRIVED! read more...

Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 05/16/2012 - 11:53

Marie Khediguian is the creative brains and hands behind Markhed Designs, a Montreal jewelry line with a dark, slightly provocative aesthetic. Khediguian was completing full-time studies and an internship in architecture when she began making jewelry as a way to unwind after work. It was then that the born-and-raised Montrealer realized where her true passions lay. The result of that epiphany is a collection of hand-crafted, head-turning pieces that range in style from cute and dainty to sexy and macabre. read more...

Best of Montreal: Cafés
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 05/15/2012 - 14:25

Montreal has seen a big rise in independent cafés, particularly within the past year. It's so much easier to bypass the bigger chains and get a solid cup of coffee at a place where the beans weren't ground months before and the coffee isn't weak, bitter and over-extracted. Or, in words that I understand, you can have coffee that tastes like good coffee and not coffee that tastes like bad coffee. So, yay. read more...

Photo Gallery: Holt Renfrew, FEED, and Tory Burch launch a tote bag to raise money to combat hunger and support women in business
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 05/14/2012 - 17:00

Last week, Lauren Bush was in town to help launch a collaboration between her foundation, FEED, Holt Renfrew, and the Tory Burch Foundation. Bush called the Burch-designed bags "a fashionable do-gooder's dream come true!" Proceeds from the sale of each tote will support FEED, which works with the United Nations to help combat world hunger, and the Tory Burch Foundation, which provides micro-loans to women-owned small businesses in the United States. Two great causes, one great carryall, and a swarm of great ladies out en masse to support these foundations and model their bags! read more...

Hysteria is a lighthearted romantic comedy based on the surprising truth of how Dr. Mortimer Granville came up with the world's first electro-mechanical vibrator. Academy Award® nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal (Crazy Heart, Nanny McPhee Returns) and Hugh Dancy (Adam, Confessions of a Shopaholic) lead an accomplished cast in this untold tale of Victorian discovery, as a young doctor's quest to work out the key to women's happiness leads him to his own.

Fresh air on a bike trumps a cramped subway commute any day, particularly when the weather warms and spring fever sets in. The rules of the road, whether for safety or for keeping the peace, apply to everyone, regardless of how many wheels they are riding on. Sadly, road rage isn’t limited to those in cars. read more...
