Hot On The Street & Man Repeller
Leandra Medine and I have a few things in common: we’re both brunettes with blogs who love New York. We also celebrate the same holidays, but that’s an inside joke between us.
On Thursday afternoon, I went downtown for a meeting (read: interview) and then created a workspace at Aroma. Meanwhile, Leandra appeared on The Social and chatted with fashion journalists about her new book, Man Repeller: Seeking Love. Finding Overalls.
Eventually my battery drained and instead of finding a new seat with an outlet, I dashed to Holt Renfrew. As for my outfit of the day, my Michael Kors trenchcoat protected me from the rain and helped me look polished and colourful. Have I mentioned that sometimes you can spot me as the girl in the red trenchcoat?
Anyway, FASHION’s online editor Randi Bergman interviewed Leandra and then the book signing began. I was grateful for a fast moving line that still allowed for ample face time with the author. While she wrote a personalized autograph with a gold Sharpie, we talked about Instagram and The Coveteur. It was just another conversation about social media and style. No big deal.
There was a good crowd at Holt Renfrew’s flagship store. It was nice to reunite with a friend who worked with me on Western’s Fashion and Lifestyle Society executive. Go Mustangs! Next, I was able to meet Anita Clarke, one of Canada’s top fashion bloggers, before she headed out!

To top it off, I left with a bottle of OPI’s Man Repeller shade and a professional manicure. One of the estheticians works at Holt Renfrew and the other’s at Sears. I’m eager to try out the salons at Yorkdale and Eaton Centre respectively. I already know who I’ll request to paint my nails and what we’ll chat about. In other words, I’m starting a new kind of book club.
