Toronto’s latest TA-ZE store, at 120 Adelaide Street West, was designed by Toronto-based Burdifilek, led by managing partner Paul Filek, and creative partner Diego Burdi. They managed to take a small 800 square foot space and turn it into an open, organized place of business. TA-ZE is a chain of retail stores focusing on premium olive oils and related products.

Roots Canada has launched their Valentines Day Collection “Made With Love” In Canada, and we got a sneak peek last night at their Bloor St. location. The collection includes a series of women’s hand bags, tote’s and coin pouches made in red and black Italian leather with a special 3-heart tassel.
After seeing this collection, we thought we’d put this out there for all the fella’s… If you haven’t decided on what to get your Valentine, this might be the gift idea you’ve been looking for.

Thanks again to Raymond and Michael for taking care of us.

Toronto designer Anu Raina first showcased her Spring/Summer 2012 Collection “Murano” at last year’s LG Fashion Week. She’s preparing to release her Fall/Winter 2012 Collection “Welcome to Toronto”, but before that drops, we’d like to share Murano with you.
The inspiration behind this collection comes from the hand blown glass chandeliers made in Murano, Italy. The movement of colour and play on light has been reinterpreted in this collection with one-of-a-kind pieces made by Anu. “In making this collection I played with colour and dyes fearlessly, showcasing this energy.”
Murano is a movement of colour, light and patterns.
If you like what you see, this collection is available at Homegrown Boutique in Yorkville.

It seems like the Toronto Raptors continue to push the envelope when it comes to this year’s shortened season. First, they introduced the NBA’s only 3D baseline logo, and now they’ve released the first-ever camouflage jersey. The entire camo uniform will make its on-court debut March 21st, as part of the Canadian Forces Night, and will be worn three more times after that.
