Marisa Tom | October 5, 2011 9:58 pmToday we lost a true visionary. News of Steve Jobs's death spread like Internet wildfire earlier this evening and with it, a collective outpouring of grief and gratitude from the many, many people touched by his genius, ideas, innovation, products, and inspiring life. It's not out of the question to ask, "What would life be without Steve Jobs?"Read More

Marisa Tom | February 7, 2011 8:05 amThe Canucks are coming! With supermarket fashion retailer Joe Fresh planning a move to Fifth Avenue, it doesn't come as a great surprise that another Canadian shopping destination would also want to sink its claws into New York City.

Coined "Body by Glamour," the pop-up shop offers a well-edited selection of Gap Body apparel, meant to inspire you to want to wear workout clothes and then, um, go to the gym. I actually think it's a great strategic move in light of countless New Year's resolutions to get fit and lose the holiday weight.Read More
