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.”

Cabaret Vintage Cocktail Bride: Shelley
Hello!
Jeff and I got married on Nov 7 in Sedona, Arizona. I cannot thank you enough for the perfect wedding dress for the occasion!
The Bijou was the first dress I tried on and nothing else compared. When I showed it to my mom and friends, they totally understood why I was so set on it! During the wedding our family and friends kept commenting that they could not imagine a more ‘Shelley’ wedding dress. I really enjoyed wearing it. Thanks soo much!
