OUR FABULOUS AUTHORS:
Gloria Chik
I just like pretty things. I’m the girl that writes up a storm, has a big camera, loves graphic design, has started acquiring magazines left and right, and I live in the city. I’m the b-schooler, the girl that lives in the burbs but frequents the un-burbs, and you’ll look and wonder how I got this tall.
I shop, I watch, I play with visuals. I shop vintage, and I pay no heed to brands. If it looks good, fits better, and makes you smile – wear it.

Wondering where you’ve seen me? Likely perusing through Queen West, your local Starbucks, wearing things that are offensively patterned, and I’m all over your fashion scene.

Josette Blackwood
My name is Josette. I’m one of those women- trying to be every woman I rock denim jeans, long frocks, dope tees, and lip gloss I love Ghostface and long walks on the beach (I stole that but it’s true). I was recently dubbed a fashion authority by FASHION Magazine when I was chosen as one of 20 finalists for their 2008 Blogger Search but lost by thismuch (that damn 44 %!). I obsess over the fly, the hot and the maybe not — I’ll try to bring all of that to you.
Lenny
I’m a techie guy. I always have mobile phones, tablets, laptops, or just about anything with a screen. Yeah, I’m kind of living the Canadian dream. I’m an urban dweller, true and through. Always out and about in the city, you’ll rarely finding me in sitting any place for too long. I like to travel, I’m a mover and shaker, and even though I’m always flying around, people that know me can see that I’m down to earth.
Amanda Petriglia
I’m a chatty twentysomething with a heart-on for pretty dresses, patterned clutches and sunglasses that are too big for my face. When I’m not perusing the racks for my next coveted piece, you can catch me reading the Financial Post (yes I am a business geek), eating (anything) or jaunting around my fair city. I’m an aspiring PR star, obsessive magazine hoarder and indie-music fan. Also, I believe in the importance of flossing every day (your smile is the best accessory!)
Maria Calderon
My name is Maria and I’m a shopaholic. My addiction includes party dresses (especially of the little black kind), skinny jeans, and hand bags. The one thing I can’t live without is Mascara. I’m a young Marketing professional who’s new to the blogging scene, but experienced in following all things fashion and pop-culture related. When I'm not working or writing, I like to stay active by exercising, yoga-ing and window shopping.
Abby Ho
…is in a serious relationship with culture, art, music, movies, and fashion. Outgoing, bubbly, and somewhat unpredictable, her style is much the same. Best described as preppy chic with a tiny touch of edge. Writing about movies, style hunting, cosmetics, media, and pop culture is her passion. When she’s not working away for the television show Degrassi as their Digital and Emerging Media coordinator, you can always find her tuning into the Toronto entertainment pulse, well…or shopping.
Shanice
I'm a full time fashion producer, part time day dreamer. When I'm not planning a "personal revolution', I'm drinking smoothies, shopping vintage or making something pretty on my computer. Ever inspired by the visual world, I drool over ad campaigns, fashion films and documentaries with the hopes of one day mastering all three. Best of all, I'm a social networking junkie, so add me to twitter. You can be my enabler!
