How do you beat the winter blues? “I don’t get them; I love snow. I live in England, so I miss Canadian winters a lot. I love the burrowing. Everyone needs to burrow with blankets, cashmere, tea and movies.”
Where do you go vintage shopping in Toronto? “My favourite store is Cabaret. I love the boy that works there—I love that he has special things that he always thinks you’ll like.”
Best city to shop in? “Paris.”
Where will we find you? “Bon Marché, Miu Miu, Chanel, Les Archives de la Presse, Serge Lutens, Isabel Marant, Ladurée, Sonia Rykiel and Colette. But I like the Japanese cakes at Toraya more than shopping itself.”

Vintage Outerwear: Pamela in Burgundy Velvet
At Cabaret we have the belief that it’s all in the details, especially when trying to create the perfect look. One area that is often overlooked is outerwear. When you have the perfect dress, the ultimate pair of shoes, and great accessories but then put on the same old coat that you wear to work everyday, it doesn’t continue the spectacular look that you have created.
Meet Pamela, who is wearing one of our beautiful vintage opera coats in burgundy velvet. The coat, an original from the late 1930s and adds glamour to a fantastic evening out, completing her look. Thanks to Pamela and Nick for the great photos!
