The new, 4,000-square-foot Andrews boutique recently opened near our Hazelton Avenue entrance, across from Teatro Verde. “The Yorkville neighbourhood has long been the epicentre for fashion and lifestyle retailers, we are very proud to have been a part of this dynamic community for more than 30 years,” Darren Mason, the President of Andrews, said in a release. “The store is uniquely situated amongst a bustling array of lifestyle retailers including art galleries, health and wellness studios, restaurants and floral designers.” Inspired by the Japandi style, which combines Japanese and Scandinavian design and is described by Architectural Digest as “centered on tranquil, minimalist, and functional interiors,” the stunning space features large arched windows, light wood details, sculptural lighting and elegant, well-lit fitting rooms. At Andrews, an iconic Canadian womenswear retailer that opened its first location in 1990, you’ll find everything from stylish workwear to designer eveningwear to great denim.

Spring is finally here, and while the warmer weather hasn’t arrived just yet, now is a great time to swap out your cozy winter decor for lighter, more colourful accents. From fresh blooms to seasonal home accessories, here are five ways to instantly give your space a spring update.   From March 30–April 18, 2023, you can see artist Carly Allen-Martin’s work on exhibition at Galerie De Bellefeuille. Her vibrant, colourful paintings would be a beautiful addition to any room.   We’ve got our eye on with this pretty picture frame, featuring branches and butterflies, from Serli Diamonds.   Lighten up dark spaces with airy, white oak and blond wood accent furniture.

Sick of down jackets and knit layers? A pretty, flowy dress—ideally in a bright colour or vibrant print—might just be what your winter-to-spring transition wardrobe needs. Ahead, eight stylish and versatile spring dresses that can be worn now over a turtleneck and knee-high boots or tights, and later with new-season sandals and your favourite summer handbag. This long-sleeved dress by Maska features an asymmetrical hem and removable belt.   Florals for spring are always a good idea. This mini dress is by Diane Von Furstenberg at Andrews.   Available at Heidi-Ho2, this pretty cotton dress can be worn loose or belted.   Wear this linen maxi dress from Heidi-Ho2 with an oversized blazer and heeled boots now, and with flat, strappy sandals later.   This elegant Judith & Charles style works well for the office, and can be worn as a wedding guest dress for spring and summer nuptials.   Available at Andrews, this cotton poplin number can be styled with knee-high boots or over a fine-knit turtleneck during the spring transition months.   By Isabel Marant Étoile at TNT, this charming cotton mini looks great with and without black tights.   Wear this floral print dress solo, or with knee-high boots and a co-ordinating blazer.

This time of year, the weather in Toronto can change quickly, and drastic temperature fluctuations are almost par for the course. For this transitional season, versatile outerwear that’s designed for layering—with adjustable features and high-tech finishes—is a must-have. Ahead, seven great jackets you can buy now and wear through spring. Available at TNT, this navy wool and silk jacket can be worn under an oversized coat or on its own.   This Mackage trench, available at Andrews, comes with a removable, down-filled hood.   The roomy fit of this Judith & Charles topper allows for layering as needed.   This hand-dyed leather jacket is made in Italy and available exclusively at Via Cavour.   Max Mara’s Vicolo Marine quilted coat is water repellent and features a lined interior.
