coalminer_1.jpg­Toronto has no shortage of funky little boutiques. One place that has caught our eye is brand new (opened in September)  The Coal Miner’s Daughter. The brainchild of two friends, Janine Cockburn and Krysten Caddy, their shop features new and vintage clothing along with reworked vintage goods like these cassette wallets… remember cassettes?! These wallets are only $28 CAD. At the shop you’ll find Cockburn’s own Clementine & Tweed line of reworked vintage clothes, as well as a carefully edited selection of Canadian designers – and a small jewelry selection. The Coalminer’s Daughter, 587 Markham St., Toronto. M6G 2L7. Closed Mondays.

LIV_toronto.jpgOne of the most luxurious places in Toronto to buy bedding is Au Lit, which sells insanely high thread count sheets in a boutique setting, along with carefully edited vintage furniture. The linens are sourced from France, Belgium and Italy, and Au Lit has also supplied linens to five star hotels including the Pierre in New York and Inn on the Park in London. (Here’s a hint for savvy shoppers- there is also an Au Lit outlet store on Yonge Street). Now owner Joanna Goodman is set to open another lifestyle store – Liv-- later this month. Liv will sell clothing, furniture and linens sourced from around the world. The 10,000 square foot space will also sell jewellery. Liv,  418 Eglinton Ave. West, Toronto, Ontario. Phone: (416) 481 2300.

The
Hazelton,
which is already a member of Leading Hotels of the
World. This limestone building was designed by the hot designers
at Yabu Pushelberg, and is located in the fashionable Yorkville
area. When it opens later this month, the hotel will have 77
suites with all the latest tech gadgets and modern luxuries, like
flat screen TVs, I-Pod docking station, a separate rain-fall
shower and Bvlgari bath amenities. There will also be a screening
room- sure to be a hit during the Toronto Film Festival- and the

third restaurant opening up these days offers foams and jellies.
Toronto-based
Coleborne
Lane
is the latest restaurant making
waves for its kitchen chemistry.  Claudio Aprile, formerly
of Senses, has recently opened this restaurant which serves two
elaborate tasting menus. Diners can try rare tuna with crispy
nori, ginger marmalade, frozen soy sauce powder and wasabi foam
or lobster ceviche on a bed of sliced saffron new potatoes and
herbs. Desserts include a frozen lavender and honey parfait
served with olive oil cake and mulled figs. He doesn't like the
