Is it just me or have a number of designers emerged recently hawking Toronto themed t-shirts? The aptly named T-Dot Clothing is one such entrant that's riding this wave, selling $35 tees like the above on their web site.

Unfortunately, like the Toronto t-shirts on sale at Urban Outfitters, I find many include cliched CN Tower-themed images . I'd love to see some more creative thinking and inspiration drawn from life beyond a Toronto Tourism marketing brochure.

Fall is by far my favourite time of the year. All the leaves on the trees are turning bright, fiery colours; and I can legitimately wear a woolly hat without people questioning my sanity. Seeing Jessica's bright purple definitely gets me in the mood for the month ahead.

Fashion Cares, the fundraiser for ACT, is back and the old guard has returned after last year's experiment. Philip Ing is returning to the Producer/Artistic Director's chair to bring us Fashion sCares - the Halloween edition. The show has realized its roots, and is moving back to being a show focused on fashion.

The Clothing Show is back, once again featuring over 300 vendors great and small. Whether you're looking for stylish streetwear, vintage shoes, funky accessories, one-of-a-kind socks, brand names, or the work of local designers, you'll likely have options and a lot of fun exploring them.

Add to the huge selection of vendors a runway fashion show, a massive art exhibition, and competitions the public can get in on, and you have yourself quite the fashionista fest.

Being short (and rather short-waisted at that), my jealousy runs wild when I see flawless execution of high-waisted pants. All self-loathing aside, it's nice to see a classic version of that style.

It's the first Friday of my vacation and I'm sitting in the Fashion Television headquarters for a press conference by LG Canada. I was under the assumption that it was a preview of their new line of fashionably designed phones; I was wrong. It seems LG Canada has decided that they are going to jump into the Canadian Fashion scene with some major sponsorship money in order to "enhance and their support and elevate Canada's fashion industry to new levels". Their targets are L'Oreal Fashion Week (LFW) and Fashion Cares.
