The HOPE Sneaker that Sully Wong has collaborated with ONEXONE on is a limited edition shoe that features ONEXONE's iconic red and black signature colours and combines them with Sully Wong's characteristically clean, low-cut silhouette style. The shoe is a quality natural duck canvas exterior with a red, hand-stitched capsule base. These amazing sneakers are unisex and there are only 360 pairs available.

#TOEats: The Kitchen at Brassaii

I have been very lucky to celebrate a birthday or two on the fabulous King West patio Brassaii, imagine how excited I was to discover they have brought on a new chef, Chef Marcus Monteiro, and have reinvented their lunch, dinner, dessert, and cocktail menu for Summer 2014.

Is it possible to pick one type of cuisine to describe what's cooking in the kitchen? Fortunately it isn't that simple. Guests can expect meals inspired by the rustic kitchen of southern Italy as well as the Spanish and North African coastlines. How? The Kitchen has taken all of the spices and expectation of the Mediterranean and brings them together to create something entirely new and unique.

If you are anything like me and you prefer dessert first you are absolutely in luck, The Kitchen has a leading pastry chef, Chef Mark Cheese that has prepared a selection of desserts that are perfect for the summer. Top of my "to try" list?  The rhubarb-buttermilk soufflé coconut tart with pineapple vanilla compote and coconut-ginger ice cream!

Head to The Kitchen at Brassaii at 461 King St West to try all the new menu options and be sure to follow their culinary confections on Instragram: @thekitchenatbrassaii

FitBit: Barreworks Toronto

I just have to take a moment to share with you all, my beloved friends, how much I enjoyed my first Barreworks Toronto class.

With not one but TWO locations to serve Toronto's fit crowd on the hunt for the newest workout, "barre babes" can get their fix at the flagship studio located on 625 Queen Street West, 3rd Floor or hit up the new studio located on 2576 Yonge Street, 2nd Floor.

I attended my first Barreworks Mixed Level class with the wonderful instructor Mayumi at the Yonge location and I highly recommend it. The class:

"Our signature class. This 1-hour workout is the perfect balance of muscle sculpting and cardio. Using resistance bands, weighted balls and the barre itself, you’ll work your body from head to pinky toe." 

Lets just say it did, in fact, work my body from head to pinky toe!  

Barreworks Toronto has a wonderful offer for newcomers: $10 for your first class or 2 weeks unlimited usage for $40! Single classes go for $21.

If you're looking for something new and fun I highly recommend a Barreworks class... or 15! You'll feel amazing after, I promise! They also have really cute tank tops to show your love.
