What’s in your bag, Linda Lundström?

In the late 1980s/early 1990s, the Linda Lundström-designed LaParka was all the rage for anyone looking for the perfect winter coat. Lundstrom’s fashion legacy lives on and she re-launched her career in 2012 after a four-year hiatus with L by Linda Lundström. Having worked in the Canadian fashion industry since 1974, Lundström knows a thing or two about what Canadians need (and want!) for the wintertime. Her accessories collection is all handcrafted in Canada and made of leather and furs meaning no two pieces are exactly the same.

Lundström is not only in the midst of re-launching her career but also building a new home—hence why we found bits of steel siding and a tape measure that also doubles as a dog leash from time to time. Are you intrigued about what’s inside her bag yet? Read on and take a look around!

We’re so close to Target opening in Canada that we can taste it—quite literally, after yesterday’s blowout media preview at Toronto’s Evergreen Brickworks, which opened up with marshmallow laden hot chocolate and an ice rink fashion show fit for the Canadiana hall of fame. Kicking off what’s sure to be an amazing year of firsts, Target unveiled its list of launch partners and brands that will be available in Canada upon its various openings in March and April of this year. Babely interior designer Nate Berkus, makeup pioneer Sonia Kashuk, pint-sized chef Giada De Laurentiis (and famed US snowboard champ Shaun White via video) were all in the house to launch the Canadian openings of their ongoing Target partnerships, as well as mega-stylist Kate Young who will unveil her red carpet-inspired limited edition collaboration collection on April 14.

gift ideas for women »

Somehow, shopping for the leading ladies in our lives often proves to be the hardest. The challenge for Christmas gift ideas is to be creative, on trend, and meaningful—not the easiest task, but a necessary one. If you’re shopping for your girlfriend, wife, sister or mother, it’s essential to make the gift matter and worth every penny spent.

For Christmas 2012, we’ve dreamt of all things lavish and luxe that can double as a satisfaction to a women’s fashion craving as well as functional piece in her every day life and they are anything but traditional. We know that diamonds have been declared a girl’s best friend, but this year we’re thinking outside of the little blue box and selecting gifts that show creativity. We’ve opted for lush fur pieces that will keep her warm all winter, geometric shaped cuffs that will reinvent the arm party, and even a onsesie that just begs to be taken to a ski resort.
