I stumbled upon these Expression genuine leather ballet flats at The Bay on Yonge & Queen earlier this week. These cute flats are only $59, and HBC credit card holders get an additional 15% off!
These are a House of Harlow replica (which retail at $180!)
and some Bloch-inspired ones:
…you know where to find them…
I bought these BCBG black patent leather chain-strap sandals (model: RANDI) on sale for $57. The original price was $114. They also come in tan and metallic gold leather.
I know for sure Yorkdale, Eaton Centre and Sherway Gardens still have several pairs left!

Aldo Group invited me to a media pampering event at Toronto’s luxurious Elmwood Spa (among Elle and Flare editors, I was flattered big time!). In addition to manis, pedis, and massages, the guests had a chance to preview Aldo’s Fall 2010 collection, as well as Spring, Globo, and LOCALE. Now what is LOCALE, you might ask. It’s a new store that Aldo will be launching in August. Expect it to be a more sophisticated and grown-up version of Little Burgundy. Some of the brands include BCBG, Coach, DKNY, Lacoste, Pegabo and Kenneth Cole. The following are store locations across Canada:
Toronto: Sherway Gardens – August 17, 2010
Montreal: Place Montreal Trust – August 17, 2010
Montreal: Centre Rockland – August 17, 2010,
Calgary: Chinook Centre – August 23, 2010
Calgary: Calgary TD Square – August 17, 2010

I’m excited about LOCALE, and can’t wait until August!
