Breakfast at Tiffany’s New Yorkville Boutique!

18 September, 2013 Nelia

tiffany-new-york-toronto-2

After 24 years on the south side of Bloor Street, Tiffany & Co. relocated to 150 Bloor St West to a larger and brighter new store. With high ceilings, gorgeous light fixtures, tons of light streaming through doorways and windows, and many intricate Tiffany-blue accents throughout the store, the new Tiffany & Co. Yorkville boutique is a gem.

Last week, I stopped by to have another surreal (but oh-so exciting!) breakfast at Tiffany’s, and as someone who’s already married, I must admit, I was a tad jealous. The engagement salon at the new store is so charming and inviting, it made me want to get engaged all over again. So many beautiful rings to choose from…it seems a little unfair to have to choose just one, non?

After lots of oohing and aahing, pawing at the new Atlas Collection, and the drool-worthy Fall 2013 handbag collection, I had to rush to the office, back to reality, but it didn’t matter – my week has already been made.

Next time you’re on Bloor Street, you really must stop by and check out the new store. Once you spot the bright Tiffany-blue facade, and a stack of iconic blue boxes, you’ll know that you’re in the right place…and trust me, you won’t want to leave!

Michael Kors Pays a Visit to His Newest Boutique in Toronto

6 May, 2013 Nelia

Michael-Kors-Toronto-Visit-MKToronto-20

Last week was a crazy one, and my blog posting schedule took a hit…I didn’t attend any previews, parties, or launches, choosing to deal with some crazy stressful life stuff instead. But when I learned that Michael Kors would be stopping by his new Bloor St boutique, I knew I couldn’t miss it…no matter how busy I was!

At the party, the designer danced the night away to the beats played by the gorgeous Alexandra Richards (clad in Kors, of course),  autographed a couple of his bags for the awe-struck customers, and mingled with the attendees and staff members of the boutique. Full of energy and always with that toothy grin at the ready, Kors was sure fun to observe, and my friend Sharon and I even got to grab a pic with our fave Project Runway ex-judge before he drove away into the night. Not bad for a Wednesday. Not bad at all.

After the designer’s departure, the crowd thinned out, and I actually got to check out the store, which was bright and airy, and stocked to the brim with neon bags, pretty summer shoes, and lovely modern American classics (as well as edgier pieces) which we’ve come to expect of Michael Kors‘ signature line. I pawed at some black and white purses, which would be a perfect addition to anyone’s wardrobe this season, but at the end of the night, just meeting the designer and watching him get down to old school Michael Jackson was enough fun for one night.

If you are curious to check out the new Michael Kors boutique in Yorkville, it’s located on 131 Bloor St West. Happy Shopping!

Beautylicious in Yorkville
October 25 – November 4th, 2012

It’s that time of the year again! Fourth annual Beautylicious event begins this week in Yorkville. And if you’d like to get a great deal from one of the top salons, spas, or wellness studios, now’s your chance!

Some of my favorites are taking part in this event this year…salons like Greg May Hair, Caja Studio, and Tony Chaar Salon are offering major discounts on their services, while great spas like The Spa at the Windsor Arms Hotel, and Stillwater have some sweet deals too.

Next week, I’m planning to take advantage of the discounts, and give my hair some much-needed TLC, and Beautylicious makes it that much easier (and cheaper).

Are you going to participate this year? Which services are you most interested in? Share in the comments.

First Free People Store Opens in Canada

3 August, 2012 Nelia

free-people-toronto-store-yorkville

The very first Free People boutique in Toronto, and in Canada opened yesterday at 79 Yorkville Avenue, adding yet another US brand to the Canadian shopping landscape. The new store, spread out over three floors has an intimate boho feel to it, stocked with clothes that are tailor-made for free-spirited young things, looking for fun and funky pieces that are perfect for attending summer festivals (Osheaga, anyone?), hanging out with friends at the cottage, or lazy weekends at Trinity Bellwoods.

“We are incredibly excited to begin our retail expansion into the Canadian market,” said Beth Wehagen, Free People’s Director of Stores. “Our choice of Toronto as the first store in the market was an easy one given the city’s history as a forerunner in driving fashion and culture throughout the country. We love the architecture along Yorkville Ave and feel it truly captures the eclectic and creative nature of our brand.”

My favorite pieces included uber-feminine lacey tops and dresses, printed denim and cords (paisley, and floral, and striped…oh my!), and chambray shirts with colorful patches. Will have to make sure to go back and try everything on!

Free People’s second Canadian store will be opening in Calgary on August 31st, at the Chinook Centre. Who’s excited?

Don’t Miss This Month: Beautylicious

20 October, 2011 Nelia

Beautylicious in Yorkville
October 27 – November 6th, 2011

Third annual Beautylicious event will take place in Yorkville this month, until November 6th. With top salons, spas, and wellness studios participating, you can get some kick-ass deals on spa treatments, haircuts, you name it!

This year’s price points are $30, $50, $75, and $125. Some of the hottest treatments this year include Three Zumba Fitness classes from Izzy Fitness for $30, a Shellac manicure from Sitamaa Spa for $50, a Liquid Gold Anti-Aging Facial from Esthetics of Lara for $75 and an Eyelash Extension from the Mync Lash Lounge and Brow Bar for $125. It’s an awesome way to check out high-end services without having to pay high-end prices.

I got a chance to preview two services for myself: a haircut from Greg May Hair Architects, and a 60-minute facial from Pure + Simple. I will be doing a more extensive review of both, but for now, I just want to tell you that I loved both! You can see what my hair looked like after Greg did his magic here. Pretty amazing, right? And since he applied the “protein shake” to my mane, my hair has been so glossy and smooth. The level of service at Greg May Hair Architects is top-notch…and you might even get a free sushi lunch out of it too!

The Pure + Simple facial (save for the extractions) was one of the most relaxing experiences ever! Seriously, it included a massage, a mask, and an electric-zapping thingamajig, to make sure that all of the bacteria was dead. In short…it was awesome!

If you’re a beauty junkie, or just need a good haircut, make sure to check out Beautylicious…there are SO many salons to choose from, and prices are a dream. Go forth, and beautify!
