These are the top ten places to hang out in Toronto according to me, which means (sorry) no nightclubs because I get sleepy. However. You will find places to eat, drink, sit and then … eat some more, because they’re mostly restaurants and lounges. Pick a category, any category: You’ll find hipster joints, places where Real Housewives of Anywhere […]
Celebrity Swag includes luxury travel and other stuff
Well. If anyone had told me that celebrity swag includes luxury travel I would have tried harder to win an academy award. I might have even taken up acting. Luckily, without doing either I managed to spend some time during media day at the Bask-It-Style Gift Suite in the Private Estates above the Shangri-La Hotel Toronto […]
Romance at Ripley’s Aquarium Toronto
When you have two free Ripley’s Aquarium Toronto tickets (I won them!) and no one will go with you, it’s 1) a sign you have no friends or 2) that everyone you know has something better to do on a Thursday afternoon – like work. But I refused to wait for the weekend, even though I’m sure I would […]
Dumb Blonde Moment at TIFF
Another film festival, another dumb blonde moment at TIFF. This, people, is my glittering life. And this is the Toronto International Film Festival.

You know you’re not supposed to do something, so you want to do it even more, right? Or is that just me? No! It’s human nature. And I’m not just talking about the Forbidden City at the ROM. Think of Lot’s wife, fleeing Sodom and impending disaster. The angels give her one simple rule: flee […]
Toronto ice storm takes city by … storm
“Is that a tree on the President’s House?” I ask Le Husband as we’re driving down a Rosedale street in Toronto. “Isn’t that the University of Toronto’s President’s House?” Mark stops. “Oh, oh.” A huge branch, at least a foot and a half in diameter, has slammed down onto the roof. Things like this have […]

A Park Hyatt Toronto wedding
Mark and I are in the airport waiting to take off for our honeymoon. Lufthansa! Business Class! And all on points! Yay! But before I go, I can’t resist posting a few wedding shots. Luckily Julia Pelish, our amazing photographer sent a couple of shots even though the movers were shifting furniture out of her […]
Pre wedding panic
Yikes! How do other people plan weddings? It’s moments before the big day and not everything can possibly get done. Especially if you decide to do your own flowers. Am I crazy? Of course I am, that’s why Mark is marrying me. Who wants a clam bride, I mean a calm bride? Right, honey? Right? […]
Wedding shoes at The Room at the Bay
Of all things to get emotional about when getting married, I wouldn’t have thought wedding shoes. But weddings are strange beasts, drawing out tears, fears and sentimentality like toxins leaching from a sweating body. When I made an appointment at The Room at the Bay, the upscale fancy-fancy section of the Bay to finally choose […]
