(subject title as said in the words of Emily Carr. Figured it’s nicer than Patrick Anderson’s quote of “America’s attic”).
This was my first [real] trip to Toronto. I say “real” because I did sojourn across the border from Buffalo for thirty or so minutes when my college roommates were set on having a beer. Pathetic. So yes, this was the first bonafide Toronto trip…assembled sort of last minute. And taken in by Kelly Drennan over at Fashion Takes Action. Thanks a bundle Kelly! Missed the Linda Lundstrom show – just couldn’t find a great last minute flight until the 18th, which was a bummer…but I have to say that Claire totally redeemed the entire trip; she took her whole day to show me around the town. We went to Indigo (for U.S. folks, it’s like the Barnes & Nobles of Canada), bumped into Heather Reisman (owner of Indigo) and whom is also opening up these awesome green concept stores called Pistachio; headed over to met Sid at Lileo (another must-see shop); and other great places along the way. On the last day, headed off with Kelly for her Fashion Takes Action auction, which had some pretty cool pieces you could bid on.
