When swapping thrift shopping info with a girlfriend, she told me about Stasia Consign and Design Boutique (1002a Central Ave., 306-931-2250, stasiaboutique.ca) a consignment shop that donates its unsold merchandise to charity. Passersby often miss this tiny boutique, but I couldn’t wait to check it out.

Sunday is a day of relaxing and that is exactly what I did as I sat back in my seat, watching with sparkling eyes as models graced the runway at the Building Our Future Fashion Show, which featured some of the city’s most distinguished independent designers including Rebecca King, Niki Gerety and Sova Design.

Saskatoon: A classic pick for V-Day

While wandering through the mall last week, I passed by window displays of teddy bears, cards, chocolates and roses. It wasn’t until a picture of a heart-shaped diamond pendant caught my eye that I realized I had been oblivious to the obvious: Valentine’s Day. Though I am not really the romantic type, I definitely don’t have any problems with the holiday. Leave out the sappy love poems, but bring on the chocolates and flowers. And I don’t mind a nice dinner for two.

Saskatoon: A clean slate
I have a love-hate relationship with January. I can’t wait to begin the New Year with a fresh slate, a clean start, a new me. It is a time to set goals, clean closets, shed extra pounds, re-evaluate, plan, organize and reacquaint myself with old friends—in my case, the gym.
