    Virtual French Excellence Week

    December 8, 2008 /
    Sometimes I think the French know something about life that we don’t.  French toast, french kiss, french manicures… and then there’s more!  Remember the last season when Carrie goes with Petrovsky to Paris but it’s nothing but dog poo on Manolos and heartache.  Ouch… Places and things, we always attach fantasy and assumptions about them. Is that a good thing? I guess – but out of my travels, I have this to say – a place is just a place. If you have globe trotted as much as I have, you can attest to what I am saying. The most important thing is where your friends and those you love are.  Don’t let geography dictate how you dress, how you think or your ability to fall in love.  There are unstylish people in New York, heart breaks in Paris, lackluster spirits Shanghai and dream crushers in Toronto.  When you know who you are, define your style and live your passion – trust me, somethings do translate!

    TNA

    December 7, 2008 /

    Happy bums rejoice everywhere for TNA pants! These magically suplex pants make even the smallest and flattest bums scrumptious. Here I am visitng the first TNA flagship store that opened today at the Toronto Eaton Centre. All in all, it is not all that different than Aritzia. A smaller store located on the first floor (across from Shoppers Drug Mart), it’s hard to miss this brightly lit store. A lot of wood theme decor, carvings of cute animals and wooden shelving gives it a cottage cool feel.

    God Bless TNA pants is a Facebook group with more than 4000 members! I remember getting my first TNA tracksuit in 2001, a sky blue one! I wore it as much as I could get away with… hahaha… Let’s dig up a few old pics. Rocking TNA with my girls at UWO in 03 for our PINK&BLUE party!

    TNA booty, you know what I’m talking about!

    The changeroom curtains are heavy quilts with a zipper on the side (very DIY). The mirror has a tiny television screen in the bottom right corner! Streaming giraffe clips when I walked by. They have the little lockers with the keys for you to put your bags in when you try on things just like Aritzia. I found that the staff seem friendlier at Aritzia, maybe because the first day TNA staff were stressed out from the massive Christmas shopping crowds! I love the animal and nature motif.

    To me, TNA is about fun, artsy, creative, comfort and style. It’s also about fun, colours, imagination, music and culture. Look at the TNA BLOG. Super cute and definitely somewhere I would shop. Where else will you find owls on skis?
