Love is in the air and with it, the desire to buy something extra special for your special someone. These romantic gifts take all the guesswork out of gifting this Valentine’s Day so you can get back to gazing longingly into each other's eyes. Right? From a very KISS-able tee to some under-$100 beauties from Holts, you're going to just L.O.V.E. this little guide...

I'll admit that I'm embarassingly slow when it comes to adopting new technology. Case in point: I just got an iPhone 4S. Call me lazy but I already had an iPhone 3 & couldn't be bothered to figure out a whole new phone, especially now that I've gotten so good(ish) at texting. And I would have waited for the 5 but I have so many plugs/ports that it felt wasteful to have to buy all new ones. But you say the Samsung Galaxy is where it's at? Fine, the phone-tapping, file-sharing thing is super cool, especially if you have friends with great playlists. And their new ads are super compelling. I want to watch videos while I text, too! Though I question if they're actually trying to create more accidents. Oh, but you over there? BBM is so amazing, right? I know, I know...you could never give that up. And sorry, what's an Android?
I'm confused. All I know is that I love a pretty phone case since they're an inexpensive way to convey your style while protecting your precious. I'm not a big fan of overt insignia so my current keeper is made of simple, clear lucite. These fun little cases are quite fetching, though, esp. that whipsnake number (LOVE), and will protect my poor smartie from the school of hard knocks that is my toddler-filled house. It's a miracle that my phone has survived it all. The iPad on the other hand....

Just when I thought my cross-border hops had been made completely redundant, news broke today that It-Brit fashion brand Ted Baker London and U.S.-based Kate Spade New York will both be arriving in Canada this fall, with 2 new stand-alone stores coming to Yorkdale Mall.
I've always been a fan of Kate Spade with her happy prints, preppy colours and must-bookmark blog, behind the curtain. The Fall 2012 collection, though, is exceptionally charming, with loads of Parisian references and a highly-anticipated collaboration with French street-style blogger Garance Doré. Youpeee! As for Ted Baker, I'm just getting to know the brand but am already in love with the super chic collection and foresee this being a long and highly profitable relationship (for Ted Baker, anyway..though, I'll surely reap the wardrobe rewards).
Will keep you posted on all the store opening deets. I so want an invite to those parties! Hint. Hint.
