From Fuzzy to Fabulous @FuzzWaBar
I wanna go to Fuzz Wax Bar just because the name is so fun! Fuzz Wax Bar is one of Queen Street West’s newest beauty bars offering a range of services for men and women that focuses on one thing only – getting rid of the fuzz. The concept behind Toronto’s first wax bar is simple: high-quality, quick service combined with affordable pricing within a sophisticated, clean service-oriented environment.
“I’ve never understood why something as straightforward as a wax took almost an hour to complete and came with such a high price tag,” said Gaven. “By focusing on a single service, we are able to keep our prices affordable while making sure we excel at what we do. No one wants to spend 45 minutes getting hair ripped off their bodies.”<— TRUTH
Fuzz Wax Bar is located at 701 Queen St. W., and is open Tuesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more info, or to book an appointment, please call 647.748.3899 or email info @ fuzzwaxbar.com.
um… The Manzilian? Lol, I love it!

@blushberryfroyo
I’m back…. and I sure hope you are all keeping cool in this amazing summer weather. I’m not going to complain because I’ll complain again in the winter but it’s amazing and though I can’t really breathe outside I’m still enjoying the sun. I’m sitting outside writing this as we speak, and yes I’m wearing sunscreen but getting sunburned none the less. However I discovered a little new (to me anyways) gem that has opened near Queen and John Street. Literally right in from of MuchMusic. Blushberry is Toronto’s premiere frozen yogurt place. The fro yo was so delicious and guilty free. Plus they had such excellent customer service. I have no complaints!!! Now I got some chocolate fro yo with strawberries, and Ferro Roucher sauce on top. How yummy!!!!
follow them on twitter : @blushberryfroyo and on facebook for discounts, and details about their new locations.
P.S. They are open from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. every day ….. SO GET SOME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frugal Fashion Week
This past Thursday, July 23rd , frugalista’s gathered on busy Queen Street West to celebrate the debut of Toronto’s Frugal Fashion week, organized by the lovely Gillian Downes of GDPR.FFW consisted of a series of inspired events including a street-long shop crawl, midnight madness sale at 69 Vintage, a delicious brunch, silent auctions, guerrilla fashions shows that featured clothing from a variety of stores including two of our favourites: Fashionably Yours and Brazen Hussy and much much more.The first fashion week of its kind, FFW partnered with commercial communities in order to meet the consumer need for retail incentives and creative shopping outlets. This four-day long event kicked off with the Frugal Fashion Week Media + Industry Launch event at noted boutique, Chasse Gardée; where guests enjoyed a variety of hors d’oeuvres, as well as FFW gifts from talented jewellery designer Melissa Clemente.On Friday July 24th, The Social; one of Queen West’s most notorious hotspots, set the stage for FFW Official Launch Party, where Frugalista’s mixed, mingled and danced the night away, while models walked the runway (The Social’s bar top) wearing designs from 69 Vintage. Fun times!Frugal Fashion Week checked into the Drake Hotel on Saturday, where Frugalistas enjoyed a delicious 3-course brunch, created by the Drake’s gracious staff, as well as engergy-packed gift-bags, featuring items to help frugalistas get through a day of serious shoppring. After brunch, frugalistas hit queen street west with one goal in mind: to shop! Unfortunately mother nature wasn’t too accommodating as it poured like crazy soon after 🙁The week ended with Lazy Sunday: A day for strolling through the neighbourhood while enjoying the galleries, bars, restaurants and boutiques. Sunday was the frugalistas’ day to experience Queen Street West at their own leisure, and create their own Queen Street West shop crawl.A few Shop Crawl Boutiques:♥ 69 vintage♥ Brazen Hussy at Coal♥ Champagne and Cupcakes♥ Chasse Gardée♥ Fashionably Yours

Magpie Designs Summer Cocktail
“Magpie Designs is all about exploring new ways to think about textile and design in women’s fashion…”Lovely ladies, Angela Mann and Cathy McDayter recently celebrated their relaunch of Magpie Designs, and I was honoured to be in attendance at this special occasion! The Magpie Summer Cocktail was a lovely evening of wine, hors d’oeuvres and informal modelling!
I love that Magpie Designs are unique, exhibit a wide range of textures, and have so much personality!
The Magpie models doin’ the damn thang!
GORGEOUS!!
The garments and accessories are ALL HAND-MADE, and are creative in their crafting of linens, tapestries, woolens, hand-painted silks and leathers, antique textiles and exotic beads. When it comes to their garments; they allow the uniqueness of every piece of fabric to guide the design process as a way to respect the integrity of the textile. The striking and memorable accessories are influenced by many countries and cultures that have supplied their textiles. For example, Africa, India, Japan and Italy to name a few.These garments are truly unique and exotic! The best part about them is that they are custom-fitted to the customer, allowing them to have that one-of-a-kind design! They offer a diverse range of jackets, dresses, blouses, skirts, pants, coats, jewelry, belts and scarves.Pictures don’t do these garments and accessories any justice. You just have to go and see them for yourself!! Their store is located in the diverse and vibrant Queen Street West community, at 884 Queen Street West at Crawford.These ladies definitely “push forward and redefine our perception of the fashion phenomenon.”Wanna see more?!
