And until August 20, Forest Hill fashion mainstay Magnolia Boutique is having its most massive end of season clearance to date, making way for new fall favourites.

New jewellery alert: Tori.XO and Rita & Zia debut in Toronto

Swiss-based jewellery and accessories line has finally launched in Canada with much fanfare. Available exclusively online (for now), you'll find yellow and rose gold plated and sterling silver wares mixed with stones like sandal wood, ebony, turquoise, Czech crystals, Aventurine, Quartz and jade and many more.

Halifax-based Tori Poynton's new line of sterling silver pieces is now available in downtown boutiques Any Direct Flight and Elle Hardware. Poynton's already got a cult following, and her range of handmade goods has landed on celebs like Jill Hennessy and Dixie Chick Martie Maguire. The pieces are soft and subtle, inspired by the Australian native's trek through the flea markets from Europe to South America. Check out more here.
