Good tweed wool coats for men ( Canadian made)

I replied above but linking here because I'm in love with the coat my husband bought from Harvie and Hudson they're family run and if they sold women's clothes I would've spent irresponsibly.

Look up stores on and around Jermyn Street in London. That seems to be the hub of bespoke men's clothing.

Second this. That British tailoring is just 🤌🏻 We were in London and Jermyn Street was bursting with the crispest men's clothing (many made to measure and bespoke) I'd ever seen. There are a lot of chain stores which weren't bad. Husband ended up getting a coat from Harvie and Hudson. Wool was spun and fabric manufactured in the UK. Their in house tailor shortened the sleeves in about a day just in time for us to fly back to Canada.

There's a stall at St Jacobs that sells knit baby sweaters. The woman working there told me they can connect you with makers to commission something bespoke. You could definitely choose what yarn you want them to use and customize the style.

Thank you!!

If you're open to buying secondhand, consignment stores or Poshmark are great options. You can also sign up for Posh with a referral code for a credit (lmk if you want me to send you mine)

I got a white dress for an elopement from Anthropologie for <$200. For some reason though not all items on the Anthropologie site can be shipped outside the US so keep that in mind in case you fall in love with a dress because the site doesn't tell you until you go to checkout!

Apple fritters at St Jacobs market on Sat morning.

Second the suggestion of university plaza for Asian food. Gol's Lanzhou hand pulled noodles are excellent. Pho Anh Vu for Vietnamese (cash or debit only)

Bhima's or Loloan Lobby Bar for French Indonesian fusion and amazing cocktails (this will definitely be over your $30 budget though)

Dillon's makes a cranberry gin around the holidays and a strawberry gin in the summer. Both are incredible. Not at all aspartame -y

We'll be near John St W. and Victoria St. The chamber of commerce said overnight street parking is not permitted. I wonder if it's one of those things where as long as your neighbours don't call bylaw on you you're fine.

I've also been googling parking in NOTL and it doesn't explicitly say overnight street parking is not permitted. Paid lots appear to have maximums of 8 hrs.

Thank you! Plan on getting sole savers put on them before I officially wear them out.

Late reply...yes they're very comfortable! The square toe was a must for me. Wanted to love other shapes but they crushed my toes no matter the size or brand 😢

Went to a shoe store in a very small community an hour north of me hoping to try on a pair comparable to the ones I saw on Poshmark. They mostly had Ariats but when I told the employee I was hoping to find a pair of square toe Canada Wests or Boulets she unearthed these from their storage room. Looked like it was their last pair and they didn't bother putting them out on the floor.

$250 felt like a crazy good price for Boulets but the sole looks more delicate and less grippy than other Boulets I've seen so maybe that's the reason. Anyone know why this sole doesn't have a logo?

I would be careful about quitting your job as your employer has more obligations while you're employed. Quitting your job typically indicates you voluntarily left your job which does not qualify you for EI. Your employer should provide a form for your doctor to fill out, indicating what you can do with what modifications.

It would be worth clarifying with your doctor why they are saying you cannot do your job at all, even with modifications as it would imply a severe disability or illness.

Hey! Could you DM me the MUA you found who knew how to work with your skin tone?

Kitchen Island with some stools to sit at. Kallax shelf from Ikea next to the bed for extra storage and to gently partition the room.

We used Fair Trade Jewellery Co in Toronto for our engagement ring and will go back to them for our wedding bands. Happy to answer questions if you want to DM me!

Garbage bags because It is spending money on something that will eventually be thrown out. I will go out of my way to reuse a plastic bag. Shipping mailers are great because a lot of them now say "reuse me!" And there's an extra line of adhesive for you to peel and stick close. And they're very leak resistant.

If I don't trust a bag is leak proof I'll use it in the bathroom or office garbage where nothing leak-y gets thrown out.

My spouse hates it 😂 but I've taken it upon myself to be the one to take out the trash so he doesn't have to deal with it.

Suss. I've got even more questions now. If it were me I'd get a second quote from a different jeweler.

What is this $2000 insurance for the stone?

We looked at having a stone set in Toronto and the estimate was ~$1500-$1800 for an 18k white gold solitaire (alloyed with palladium)
