Starts with Inspiration: Floral blazers

If you’re looking for evidence that April showers bring May flowers, look no further than the three lovely blazers above. The perfect topper to a white t-shirt, jeans, and bright flats, a little botanical inspiration goes a long way when the rain is pit-pittering at your window.

Fashion News: Nordstrom's Canadian locations confirmed (and Yorkdale is one of them!)

It's finally official! Fashion reported today that Yorkdale mall has confirmed Nordstrom will be joining its growing family of fabulous stores in 2016.

Since I currently rely on business trips to the US to get my Tory Burch fix and access to other hard-to-find-in-Canada brands, this announcement is a welcome one. While the brands that will be carried in Canada have not yet been announced, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that this arrival will provide fellow Toronto fashion-lovers much more variety and another venue to get our fashion fix.

This is also another huge plus for Yorkdale in my books. In addition to major Holt Renfrew and Hudson's Bay facelifts,  Mulberry and Salvatore Ferragamo will soon be opening standalone stores this year as well. These will be in good company with Tory Burch, Ann Taylor and All Saints in helping make Yorkdale a veritable shopping haven for those of us north of the city.

 What brands are you hoping Nordstrom will bring to Canada?

UPDATE:
Nordstrom's PR department has also shared the locations of the other stores to be opening in Canada:
Fall 2014: Chinook Centre, Calgary
Spring 2015: Rideau Centre, Ottawa
Fall 2015: Pacific Centre, Vancouver
Fall 2016: Yorkdale, Toronto
TBD: Sherway Gardens, Toronto



NOTE: This post has been updated since its original publishing date of April 8, 2013. Yorkdale is not the first Canadian location as was originally stated but will be the fourth.
