Essential Fall Footwear


With an armful of the September issues of all my favorite mags, the Fall invokes  a feeling of fashion bliss for me. The much loved "sweater weather" that approaches causes most women I know to go into a shopping frenzy, or at least obsess about it for those of us on a budget.   
Boots, booties and the chunk heel saturate the glossy pages of fashion lay outs and yet the most important shoe for the season ahead is nowhere to be seen. I am, of course, discussing the runner because the only way I will be sporting all the fashions of the season ahead is if my body is in top form and that means getting this body beautiful at the gym. Or the great outdoors as the weather beckons me to run through the changing colours of the months ahead. 

Having literally run my last Asics Gels into the ground and treadmill, I ventured out to buy my first pair of fall staples at my local New Balance store. I tried on a half dozen or so and ended my quest with the Barringer 890, in black with aubergine accents. It retails for $149.99 and worth every penny. They have a new Revlite cushioning technology , which treats each step with a beautiful buoyancy whether you are walking or running as the shoe is designed for either activity. It's also super lightweight and flexible, which is not only double duty for absolute comfort while wearing, but think how easy it is to pack for the holidays ahead!

Should you, for some crazy reason, not love the black/aubergine combo, the shoe comes in a rainbow of colour combos for those of you who NEED to coordinate the workout wear. I know I DO, darling. 

Until the next shopping find,
Smooches.

Chicago, See....

Image
I don't know what it was about Chicago that had me talking like a 1920's gangster, but I loved it! I also adored this incredible City By The Lake, with its big shoulders and all. Here are some of the highlights of my first trip to Chi-Town with my darling friend, Butters: Art and Architecture... The Art Institute of Chicago is a must for all the art obsessed. It's $25 USD per adult ticket but you could easily spend half a day there, soaking in all of the centuries of art they have on display. If that's too steep on your pocket book, check out Millennium Park, the home of "The Bean!", which is actually Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate sculpture.  It's a fascinating piece in front of the city's skyline of buildings that reflects everything; people, the city, the sky, your dreams, aspirations, et cetera. It is among many other sculptures in the park that are free to snap numerous selfies with. Across the street from the iconic bean sits Chicago'

There is An End!

Winter worn tresses? There is an end, pun intended. After a heartfelt evening of catching up with one of my most darling of gal pals, of course the conversation lead to hair. I can't shut up about the mop I carry around and especially in this brutally cold environment: enter the Great White North and it's bludgeoning effect on my poor candy floss do. We had a good chuckle about being able to cut our ends with our fingers (scissors not required for such crunchy ends) and then the heavens delivered me a press release this morning about Bain de Terre's Jasmine Infused 2 minute Intense Conditioner. It will be available by March and I can not wait to dunk my entire head into it. Perfect timing for the Spring ahead and at a suggested retail price of $13.25, I won't have to bust out my budget at the salon for a conditioning treatment. Smooches, Miss M xo

St.Clair West Style

Image
A lways on the hunt for more fabulous dining options in Toronto, let's shine some love and light onto St.Clair West, the midtown part of it that is. Some amazing culinary options have made this neck of the woods their home and only a ten minute bike ride away from my place, I am so thankful they have. Here are my current top picks: FK For those of you who remember Frank's Kitchen on College, infamous during its 7 year reign on that strip, Sean Cooper and Frank Parhizgar are back with FK Wine Bar. This is casual fine dining at its best. The food, service and overall experience that 770 St.Clair Ave. West now encompasses is a must for anyone claiming to love food and relish in an extraordinary meal. My bezzie mate and I made it to one of FK's soft launch nights just a week before it's grand opening and had one of the best meals in Toronto that we'd had in a long time. www.fkrestauranttoronto.com Kay Pacha Peruvian powerhouse, Kay Pacha, has quickly becom
