Hometown boy and Forrest Hill resident, Aubrey Graham (a.k.a. "Last Name, Ever. First Name Greatest") was nominated by for a Grammy! Quelle surprise!

Hot Yam!

A few weeks ago, I needed a nostalgia hit and headed to U of T for lunch to relive my student days (and the concept of paying less than $5 for lunch).

Land's End has a new line of preppy basics called Canvas. All you need to know is that it ships to Canada and you'll be acting out Kennedy summers at the Vineyard in no time.

Conversation

Old Navy ripped off Kate Spade with their knockoff version of her conversation mittens. No matter, I'd still like to wave hello or goodbye in a pair of these. (via nitrolicious)
