Vancouver’s media and fashion folk clamoured into Topshop’s glossy new Granville Street location in the basement of the Bay yesterday, taking tours through the almost maze-like black mirrored space as they absorbed the many and varied sections the British export had on offer. From mod silhouettes to a Scandinavian-meets-military line to the fast fashion retailer’s exclusive collaboration with J.W. Anderson, the sheer number of covetable pieces was almost overwhelming. And then, there was the shoe wall—any red-blooded woman alive would experience a flutter of heart palpitations upon walking into the sleek space, where studded fall-apropos suede booties took up residence alongside futuristic powder pink and gold heels.

Last Friday, all things breasts took over the two floors of Andrew Richard Design’s stylish east-side Toronto studio for Booby Ball, the annual benefit supporting Rethink Breast Cancer. Flaunting their assets for an important cause, guests were decked out in prom-like brights, polka dots, poofs, and the like.

90210‘s Jessica Stroup and Toronto-native Shenae Grimes flew in for the 10th anniversary of the ball, a birthday party–themed bash with quite the appropriate party dress and fascinator ensembles for the festivities. They were seen heel-ing up the dance floor in between the arrival of a life-sized cake and live dance performance. (Yes, a Marilyn Monroe impersonator popped out of a cake). Complete with a bouncy castle, storm troopers, candy floss, and balloon animals, the event was fit for booby enthusiasts of all ages.
