Okay, so it’s still just November but the holiday decor is everywhere and this is the year to get all your holiday shopping done early; that way you can spend more time enjoying the season (and maybe even pampering yourself a little!). This year I’m dedicated to starting early–not that I want to rub it in but I will be booking a spa day on December 23!
How am I going to do it? Find out after the jump! Read the rest of this entry »

Bring on the feel-good holiday shopping, festive cheer and a burst of music. Tonight Bloor St will come alive with Holt Renfrew’s annual unveiling of their glittering holiday windows. Their evening street party always kicks off with a big-ticket performer and this year the spotlight will shine on indie-singer Feist. The inside of Holt’s will be decked out with festive cheer including a pop-up store by cheerful Dylan’s Candy (owned by the Dylan Lauren, daughter of designer Ralph Lauren). A percentage of tonight’s evening sales will be donated to the United Way.
It’s free so bring your friends! Just remember to dress warmly ‘cuz those heated street lamps don’t seem to stretch that far. My stay warm secret: an extra-hot venti Starbuck’s Eggnog Latte.
The festivities begin at 6.30pm right in front of Holts on Bloor St.

So what got me out of this giving slump?

It’s no secret that LOULOU loves Dsquared2: From Mimi visiting their Capri shop to us swooning over the twins’ ’70-inspired Spring 2009 collection (the dark denim suits are amazing!) to the drop-dead (and highly coveted!) sexy stilettos featured in our Gift Guide and the fact that they’re Canadian, Dsquared2 can do no wrong in our books. What’s better? Dean and Dan recently dressed two cutie pies… Find out whom after the jump!
