On My Mind: Suede Ballet Flats and Festive Rugby Shirts

Photo-Illustration: The Strategist; Photos: Retailers, Joe McKendry

Last month, Strategist writer Brenley Goertzen moved from Minnesota to Toronto with her partner. As she adjusts to life in a new country (“I’ve switched to a new currency. I’m reading food labels in French at the grocery store and picking up all the ketchup-flavored chips I want.”), she’s also learning how to shop like a Torontonian. Here, a few things she’s stumbled upon while wandering around her new city: a block-spaced letter necklace, a festive rugby shirt that’s sturdy and structured, and red suede ballet flats.

Also on the site: Jeremy Rellosa spent a week run-commuting to our office (important addendum that our office has no showers, so he had to figure that out too) and contributor Youngna Park found the best activity books for kids, vouched by her very own children.
