Denim drive
Don’t let yesteryear’s jeans end up in landfill. Recycle your old hip-huggers and pants that were so 5 pounds ago with Over the Rainbow‘s (101 Yorkville, 416-967-7448, rainbowjeans.com) third annual denim drive in partnership with Covenant House.
It’s simple: bring in gently used denim that will be donated to keep homeless youth warm during our brutal winter and receive 20 per cent off a jazzy new pair of jeans until February 28. Sign up for the shop’s mailing list while you’re at it and you’ll be entered into a draw to win a free pair.
Love her
Ovarian Cancer Canada‘s annual Love Her gala is scheduled for February 26 at Liberty Grand (25 British Columbia, libertygrand.com). The swanky affair includes a fashion show hosted by comedian Jessica Holmes, live auction and raffle.
The event aims to bring awareness to ovarian cancer, which hits an estimated 2,600 women each year in Canada. To learn more, visit ovariancanada.org or buy tickets ($200) to Love Her at love-her.ca.
Farewell, Falconwright
One of our favourite local accessory labels, Falconwright clutches, ceases production after four years. Founded by Sandi Falconer and Danielle Wright, the brand was known for its quirky prints, which were screen-printed and crafted in Toronto. The duo says they’re excited to move on to new projects, and we can’t wait to see what these two young talents get up to next.
