Top five for her
Whether it’s wool-blend for winter or a lighter material to carry you through spring and fall, a double-breasted coat is a must-have! Take it up a notch and buy it in a bold colour!
The right dark denim pants are not only flattering, but will most definitely class up any outfit. If you’re still wearing acid-wash denim with giant tears, it’s time you stopped shopping at Parasuco.
Jewellery can say a lot about who you are and what you’re all about. Statement jewellery can be subtle but colourful, or bold and brilliant. Check out Stella & Dot jewellery at stelladot.com. They carry chunky bracelets, beautiful necklaces, and everything pretty in between!
Most girls have purses and mistaken them for “bags”. A day bag is tad larger and fits all necessary items for your day out. Go for a neutral colour or classic black and you’ll be on your way in style!
Whether you’re dating someone shorter or you just can’t bear a full day in heels, your flats will be your saviours at school, work, or the club.
Top five for him
It’s black or navy and it will carry you through weddings, formals, interviews, presentations, and funerals. Check out stores like the Bay and Tip Top for budget-friendly suits that won’t break the bank. Just remember to stay away from polyester.
Whether it’s a luncheon, a study session at the library, or a Saturday stroll downtown, the camel khaki can work overtime and in almost any scenario. You can’t get any better than the vintage khaki from the Gap.
Like a good sidekick, a good white shirt can be taken anywhere, anytime. Great white shirts show their quality, so make sure your purchase is a wise one. A Hudson Room shirt is perfect.
The messenger bag offers a casual and modern alternative to your backpack and for days when you’ve got only a few things to carry it makes perfect sense. The Lacoste Sport messenger bag is perfect to carry your 15” Macbook or any other paperwork you may need—and a little bit more.
Not too dressy and not too casual, loafers are a perfect way to dress up jeans and dress down pants. They come in an array of colours and can be worn anywhere. Buy them in brown and they’ll go with everything you own.

- About The Magazine
What do you like?
We must have asked over one hundred people that very question, and this magazine is the answer.
Newspapers can be limiting. You are obligated to write a certain way, to only cover certain things, and everything must follow a specific grid. Sometimes this can help foster creativity, being forced to work within parameters. But after 36 years of publishing, we feel that it’s time to step outside of the box.
Producing a magazine was a no-brainer. We were free to write how we felt and to present it in a more accessible way.This magazine was composed with you in mind. That’s right. We went through a ton of ideas, picking out the good, trying to cater to everyone’s preferences and make it as approachable as possible. Hence this brand new website.
We suggest you take a look around. You might find something unexpected.
