A perfectly manicured hand rests on a well-designed book cover, a flushed cheek decorated with a swipe of highlighter shimmers in the midday sun, an artfully arranged plate of avocado toast waits patiently atop a sleek table. These are the hallmarks of the “Instagram aesthetic,” which if a story published in The Atlantic last week […]

I co-front a Toronto band called July Talk, but as a child, I was cripplingly shy and so good at not taking up space that my father once lost me as I slept curled up in a ball underneath a blanket. I was mistaken for a pillow. I didn’t have the capacity to talk to […]

I started writing this at 5 a.m. in Paris. With my heart sprinting, my mind swerving, and time vanishing, writing was the only thing that calmed me down. I couldn’t sleep so I leaned over, fumbled around for my phone, and began typing into the glow of the screen. Every night when I’m trying to […]

On March 12, 2016, Céline Dion’s Falling Into You turned 20, and as Canadian tradition dictates, we must honour the album that made everything possible. And I don’t just mean jams like “Because You Loved Me” and “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now,” which catapulted Céline into the upper echelons of the adult contemporary […]

We, the cynical, Twitter beef-adoring, socially-aware generation, have something very important in common: We love a good musical. And I do mean “love.” The game-changing Hamilton—a Broadway phenomenon about Alexander Hamilton (ahem, the father of the U.S. of A.) that’s grossed $43 million so far—is heading to Chicago, Hollywood, and the set of Law and […]

If you’d told me 16 months ago that eating more bacon, cheese and steak—but no bread—would make me lose weight, get healthier, and reverse diabetes, I would have said you were deluded. If you read no further than this sentence, let me tell you something that not many people outside of the worldwide diabetes community knows: […]

Once upon a time, Kim Kardashian clapped back at a Twitter troll. It went like this: Him: “All u think about is food fat bitch,” Her: “Yup!” Which was perfect. In a digital world built on branding and saying the right (and/or most commercially viable thing), we rarely see anyone other than comics, writers, and […]

Writer Anne T. Donahue and Associate Beauty Editor Suzie Michael discuss Kim Kardashian-West’s robbery, brand of celebrity and important role as a feminist. ATD: Suzie. You love Kim K-W.

The news that IMG has pulled the plug on Toronto Fashion Week might be shocking. But it shouldn’t be upsetting. Canadian designers, and the local Toronto industry more specifically, have certainly been in crisis mode before. The once popular Festival of Canadian Fashion, which launched in 1985 and won a spot in the Guinness Book […]

“Why is there such a thing as gay pride but no such thing as straight pride?” I can’t tell you how many times, whether at the grocery store picking up a four pack of yogurt—or in the last minutes of a meeting at the office, that I’ve heard this come at me from an intelligent […]

A photo posted by Sofia Vergara (@sofiavergara) on Nov 22, 2015 at 6:12pm PST I’m the first to admit it, I love losing an afternoon on Instagram as I creep through wedding hashtags. I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of cute couples and even searched guest handles to see more angles of the gown or […]

We all identify with Beyoncé at one point or another (or we at least we think we do), but this weekend, I sat speechless while watching Lemonade. She was singing about my life for the past seven years, channelling my experiences so vividly that I wouldn’t put clairvoyance past her. You know when someone is lying […]
