Now that the crisp fall weather has finally caught up with the season, it’s officially time to embrace fall fashion and all of its glory. We’ve already organized our closets, bringing knits, layering staples, and all of our best long sleeves to the front – and, of course, opened up some space to add new arrivals to the mix. As “professional” shoppers, we rarely miss a stylish new arrival, so naturally, our shopping wish lists can get quite long – and only the best of the best make it from the racks of the store to behind our closet doors. From knee-high boots to must-have jackets, keep scrolling to browse what new pieces we’re shopping for fall.

The Toronto shopping neighbourhood known for its upscale tenants has just welcomed an unlikely new neighbour, Urban Planet.
Bloor Street is notably home to a crowd of luxury retailers such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Chanel, and more. Although it also has more approachable residents like Aritzia, Roots, and Winners, to name a few, the street is well-known for its high-end occupants. Urban Planet, however, is known for its affordable fashion offerings.
The new Urban Planet location is taking over where Club Monaco once lived, in a picturesque, historical building, which features large columns and a small staircase leading up to its doors — an undeniable contrast to Urban Planet locations we’re used to visiting.
According to Retail Insider, a 2-year lease has been signed by YM Inc. (Urban Planet’s parent company), even though the sign outside the store says it’s a “pop-up.”
The store, which offers trendy, affordable apparel and accessories for men, women, and teens, is located at 157 Bloor Street West in Toronto and is open for the public to shop as of October 11th, 2024. It also features a section dedicated to Forever 21.
Opinions in the comments of Urban Planets Instagram post announcing its new location are divided. One comment states, “This brand does not match with the architectural elegance of the building,” another says, “Weird store to have in Yorkville…” While other comments seem to be excited about the new location sharing, “YESSSSS” and “EPICCCCCC.”
Will you be visiting the new Bloor Street Urban Planet location?

In case you haven’t noticed, it’s getting chilly out there. The leaves are changing, jackets are quickly becoming more of a necessity than an accessory, and those open-toe shoes? They’ve officially made their way to the back of the closet. In other words, it’s boot season! Around this is the time of year when we dig out all the boots we own—heeled, flat, ankle, knee-high—and, of course, shop for a new pair (or two) to keep things feeling ~ fresh ~. Not only are boots a practical choice as the temps drop, but they’re also a total outfit game-changer. A great pair of boots can take an outfit from 0 to 10 in an instant. And let’s face it, no fall wardrobe is complete without a new pair of “fall-approved” boots.
We found 11 pairs of fall-approved boots to shop

Spooky season is upon us, and Halloween is just around the corner! Whether you’re planning to attend a Halloween party, take little ones trick or treating, or simply can’t resist the urge of getting dressed up, it’s time to start planning your costume. As much as we all love a spook-filled Halloween costume, we can’t deny the appeal of wanting to feel your most chic and stylish on the holiday dedicated to dressing up – even while pretending to be someone (or something) else. In other words, if you don’t want your Halloween costume to disrupt your aesthetic Instagram feed, these are the costumes for you.
Look ultra chic this Halloween in these costumes!
Galinda & Elphaba
With the new Wicked film coming out not long after Halloween, it feels extra relevant to dress up as Galinda or Elphaba this year! Either of the characters works as stand-alone costumes, but would be even more recognizable as a duo! It’s giving Yin and Yang vibes.
Bridgerton
Get super glam this Halloween by dressing up as a character from the iconic Regency-era show, Bridgerton. All you need is a dress with an empire waist, some statement costume jewellery, and an elegant updo. Add a crown to channel your inner Queen Charlotte.
1920s Flapper
One of the most chic and stylish costumes to date is dressing up as a 1920s flapper. Join us in a brief history lesson. According to the Oxford Dictionary, a flapper was a “fashionable young woman intent on enjoying herself and flouting conventional standards of behaviour.” They were known for wearing “short” dresses (at the time, knee-length), sporting a bob haircut, and enjoying a good time.
Fairy
~ She was a fairy ~ Fairies or faeries, have been a classic Halloween costume choice for seemingly all of time. You may have even dressed up as a fairy for Halloween in childhood! The theme of fairies has flourished over the years and has become reimagined as an entire aesthetic (i.e. Fairycore). If you want to look cute but still dressed up, you can’t go wrong with a mini dress, wings, and a flower crown.
Carrie
Okay, so you want to be a little scary and chic this Halloween. Carrie is your girl (and we’re not talking Bradshaw. Although, her character also makes for a great costume). Essentially, get ready like you’re about to attend prom, and then accessorize with fake blood. It’s fool-proof.
The Joker
Who knew dressing up as The Joker could be so chic? For this costume, it’s really all in the hair and makeup – you don’t even need to shop for a costume! Get some green hair paint (temporary, of course), and then have fun with creating a Joker-esque makeup look. (Editor’s note: I did this costume last Halloween, and it was super fun).
Black Swan
Is there a costume more chic than the Black Swan, herself? Take ballerina-core to the next level this Halloween and dress up as the infamous Black Swan – bonus points if you have a friend who wants to be the still chic, but more innocent, White Swan.
Mia Wallace
Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction is such an easy costume to put together, yet is still so recognizable with the help of a chic black bob wig and a fake nosebleed. The rest of the costume you likely already have in your closet!
Betty Boop
Take notes from Olivia Rodrigo and dress up as the iconic Betty Boop for your next costume party! With a mini red dress, a heart garter, and face-framing curls, everyone will know who you are. She’s the definition of glam, if you ask us.
Poison Ivy
IRL, Poison Ivy is so not chic – but for Halloween? The chicest. We don’t make the rules. There’s nothing chicer than saying “Don’t touch me” in the form of a costume.

French fashion, and/or Parisian fashion, refers to a particular style aesthetic that can often be described as effortlessly chic. On the streets of Paris, you can often spot Parisians wearing timeless classics, perfectly styled from head to toe with a casual undertone. A popular French uniform consists of straight-leg denim, a cashmere sweater, a boxy blazer, a black leather belt, loafers, and understated gold jewellery to tie it all together. The thing about achieving an effortless look is that it actually requires a certain amount of effort. But by gathering some style inspiration and shopping from the right brands, you too, can achieve French-girl status.
Shop from these 11 brands if you love French fashion!
Sézane
If you love French fashion, you have likely heard of Sézane, as it’s the ultimate one-stop-shop for très chic finds – actually based in Paris! Sézane is a certified B Corp brand offering high-quality, stylish apparel and accessories made to last a lifetime in your wardrobe. From gorgeous knitwear to shoes you’ll never want to take off, Sézane has it all.
Maje
Maje is a French fashion favourite, having over 150 shops across France and abroad, now celebrating over 25 years in business. The brand offers an arrangement of feminine, understated, glamorous, and even at times, bold pieces. Ideal for those who admire contemporary style with a twist.
Rouje
If you have a Pinterest board full of Parisian-style inspiration, it’s likely that Rouje is pinned repeatedly, even if you don’t know it. Founded by French it girl Jeanne Damas, Rouje offers clothes designed by women, for women. While shopping, you’ll find an array of wardrobe staples with a feminine flare, giving off major chic-décontracté vibes.
Wilfred
Wilfred by Aritzia isn’t a French brand, but it totally has the foundation to help bring the perfect Parisian wardrobe to life, thanks to its assortment of feminine silhouettes with an effortless appeal. We can totally picture this cardigan paired with these jeans, frolicking the streets of Paris.
Sandro
Sandro’s recognizable aesthetic can be attributed to its founder and artistic director, Evelyne Chetrite. The brand began in 1984 with a single store and has since grown into the French fashion staple that it is today. Sando’s collections are designed with Chetrite’s vision of the masculine-feminine equation, creating that “cool girl” look the luxury brand is known for.
Ba&sh
Parisian brand Ba&sh was founded by two best friends who wanted to create their dream wardrobe, and we think it’s safe to say, mission accomplished! Inspired by everyday life, travel, art, film, and more, Ba&sh’s collections offer effortless staples with a foundation of “French sexiness, a confident femininity.”
Reformation
Although Reformation is not actually a French brand, it definitely offers clothing that fits the French theme. The brand provides effortless silhouettes with a slightly vintage tone that celebrates the feminine figure. All while using sustainable fashion practices. La perfection!
Uniqlo
In terms of shopping for French fashion at Uniqlo, it’s all about what you’re buying. Uniqlo as a brand may not be what comes to mind when you think about Paris street style. However, its basics offer the quality and classic design that French locals are known for.
Balzac Paris
Paris-based brand Balzac Paris was founded in 2014 by the namesake family. The mission-driven company provides elevated (and fun) wardrobe staples you can feel good about shopping, as sustainability is always at the forefront. You’ll find an array of wearable bold prints, textures, and silhouettes that are sure to stand out in your wardrobe.
The Frankie Shop
Born in New York City, The Frankie Shop now has locations in New York and Paris and is carried in top luxury department stores across Europe. The brand’s aesthetic is described as “masculine, feminine,” with suiting as a focal point. The website features a quote by the French fashion icon Jane Birkin, stating, “My look is a cocktail. I’m not as nicely turned out as the French, but I don’t care like the English.” Which we feel, perfectly encapsulates The Frankie Shop.
Isabel Marant
Last but not least (for now) is Isabel Marant. The French-German designer founded her self-named brand in 1994 after designing clothes for herself and her friends! Now, she designs for the public, offering timeless luxury pieces with recognizable designs. Blending everything we love about French fashion. The brand can be described as effortless, edgy, timeless, and chic, with a hint of feminine boho.

In case you have yet to notice, suede is having a major moment right now. Even more so than in autumn’s past! The supple fabric adds an element of fall luxury to any outfit. And we’ve been seeing it everywhere, from the streets of fashion week to our feeds on Instagram, in form of jackets, bags, boots, and everything in between.
The con? The price. Authentic suede is made from leather, so it can really get up there in price. If you want to get the look of suede without paying top dollar, your options are either to test your luck at the thrift or to opt for vegan suede options, instead. We’ve found 9 of the latter so you can get the look for less.
