two centuries after the war of 1812, Canada is effectively advancing into America when again, only this time around we’re moving the style front ahead as well as Americans are welcoming us with open arms. (I understood my history degree would are available in helpful one day.)

Joe Fresh just recently opened on 5th avenue in new York as well as last weekend, I got a sneak peek inside the very first DwellStudio store, which will open in SoHo in early summer.

As you may know, DwellStudio was established by ex-pat Christiane Lemieux. I pledge to expose a lot more later, however the sensational façade is a great indicator of the level of style that awaits. stay tuned!

Of course, our fashion-forward neighbours to the south are providing us some friendly competition. While in new York, I stumbled on save Haven, a exactly curated shop on Lafayette St. that brings the relaxed, workwear-inspired look of their save Khaki menswear into the home.

Trays as well as textiles from Fog Linen, lovely locally woven navy blue as well as white blankets from their own line, tough aprons, enamel tableware, as well as basic ceramics had me dreaming of a little however comfy cabin on the idea of Montauk.

That’s Joe behind the money desk, who patiently as well as knowingly told me all about their products (Hi Joe!). Here, he’s handcutting as well as stamping the store’s service cards. A charming touch.
