Guelph: Gold rush

Comments

Spring’s love affair with all things golden may be the opulence we need to distract us from dreary economic times.  Luckily, a glint of gold does not have to be extravagantly priced.  It’s not about the cost–it’s about catching the eye, and adding something special to the season’s nude palette.

Guelph: Toms brings shoes to kids in need (and right to your door)

4 Comments

I think I’m in love. For the past few months I have been searching for a pair of casual spring shoes, hoping that if I have the shoes, perhaps the snow will melt. I’ve been flip-flopping: Vans or Converse? Chucks? Keds? It’s been so long since I’ve had a good pair of slip-ons…I didn’t know where to turn. And then, in a random conversation with a friend, all sole dilemmas were solved. He told me about Toms Shoes (tomsshoes.com). And my search was over.

I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. I do however believe in surprising the people you love.  So, in the spirit of totally shocking surprises, I have decided to do something really out-there on February 14.  It’s kind of sexy, perhaps even a little dangerous, and my fiancé will never expect it: I am going to cook.  To make this experience less intimidating, I decided to shop for food the same way I shop for clothing—forego the one-stop-shopping mall or grocery store, and hit up small, independent boutiques, gourmet bakeries, cheese shops and markets.  It may take a little longer, but I figure if this is the one meal in 2009 that I’m cooking, I can put a little extra effort into it.

Despite all efforts to shop locally, sometimes the sartorial solution just cannot be found in one’s backyard.  In these situations, I retire to my favourite wireless hotspot, cozy up to my laptop and let the world of Internet shopping unfold before me.

Guelph: Verging on the holidays

Comments

The town is still abuzz from this week’s unofficial kick off to the holidays and the event I look forward to every year: the Stay Out of the Mall concert. A shopping or fashion event it is not, but it captures some of the best qualities of Guelph: indie rock, independent businesses and of course, local beer.
