  9. oops, i meant your age…sorry

  10. Have a blast! Make sure to have a Tim Horton’s coffee before you leave :) We Canucks can not get enough!!

  11. Hey Nicole!
    I’m from Montreal and there is definitely a lot of things to do around here. The best places to hang out are the Plateau Mont-Royal where there are many boutiques. The St-Denis street if filled with small restaurants so you will be sure not to die of hunger. There is also the St-Laurent street if you want to go out at night. There are many bars and lounges ;) People also go out on Crescent street. We can find clubs, bars and pubs there. Moreover, if you want to shop, you should definitely shop on Sherbrooke street.

    I don’t know if you will be staying long but I know you will be busy so have fun and be safe :)

    PS. Congrats on your new project! I hope that everything works out for the best ;)

  12. you should look at the shops on queen street west. tim hortons is an obvious must. lettieri cafe’s are loove. bay and bloor is where the upscale shopping is, yorkville. you should visit my private school, we love you there!

  13. You should check out Reborn http://www.reborn.ws/shop/if you have the time. I’ve never been — just visit online — but it seems like an amazing shop.

    safe travels,

    xxstylebite

  14. Montreal is a fabulous city. the best clubs, unique shops. If you’d like to meet up with a canadian girl who would probably get along with you super well email moi. lexinic@hotmail.com Ciao.

  15. Montreal is great! TNT is an awesome store and we have a Holts as well :) Have fun and enjoy this city! lots of good food too!! is your jewelry going to be sold in Montreal ?? I can only get it on the Kitson web site.

  16. where are you staying? you should go to hemingway’s for lunch in yorkville, hopefully it will be nicer weather tomorrow and you can sit on the patio. If too cold, go to the royal ontario musuem, it has been renovated recently.

  17. The AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario) has also recently be renovated. It is also close to Queen St W one of the funkiest shopping districts around. Nothing fancy but very cool. And yah, the weather sucks, don’t judge.

  18. Hello Nicole, and welcome to Toronto!! :)

    First off I just want to say congrats! You are doing an awesome job, and you must feel so proud and accomplished!

    As for things to do in Toronto… hmmm… shop ’til you drop at the Eaton Center!? lol. Enjoy your stay, even though the weather is crappy!

  19. The shops on Queen West, Honest Ed’s is a must (a weird peek into the Canadian psyche – basically a huge 1950’s style junk store. A great neighbourhood of shops and restaurants in converted heritage homes is right behind it. They are well worth visiting (especially the cult video store) -some people call it Mirvish Village after Honest Ed Mirvish) and Fressen for supper. Its a vegan tapas restaurant, which sounds “bleh” but it is amazing. Truly truly good food.

    Also, the Kensington Market neighourhood is unlike anything else I have seen in North America – great for a Jamaican Patty or cheese shop visit and vintage stores!
    Have a great time!

  20. Good luck Nicole!

  29. i was going to come and see you nicole at holt, but i called and it was a private party, better luck next time <3 haha
    so these advertisements on your site for loubition shoes are they alright to order off of or should people avoid them?
    lets us know in a diary entry or something because im loving the prices
    much love from Canada <3

  30. A few words from a smalltown gal to a gorgeous, incredibly talented young “Star”. Like millions of others, I love your work and I wish you best of luck in all of your endeavours.

    BTW, You were in T.O. on my b-day. I would’ve made the 3 hr drive to meet you for tea.

    And since I’m “allergic” to cameras (…oddly enough they add 40lbs to my frame!) a private get together would have worked out just fine for me!

    Love & Laughter, DBK

  31. Congratulations nicole … you began a way full of benedictions and successes, Desire your collection of jewels House of Harlow expands all over the world, I wait to meet prompt in the world of the mode designing, you are my icon of inspiration!!
