The dirt on Just White Shirts

Just White Shirts - once a Canadian e-commerce success story - with an offline presence too, is closing it's doors for good. I'm not sure if it's because they moved away from business wear basics or other reasons.

Regardless, if work means hanging out with the suits, you won't want to miss the liquidation sale.

The prices aren't that low yet but who knows, they may drop further as time goes on.

Update: the bankruptcy sale is located at 138 Cumberland St., Old York Lane (map)

Talk of the town

Okay, I'm the type of girl who rarely makes a birthday wish list. It's only Jan. 9 and I've already added something to mine: Apple's new iPhone.

I kept a close eye on the 'net for Steve Jobs' keynote address at MacWorld.

For ages I'd been hearing rumours about an iPhone. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine something as smart and sleek as the device Jobs unveiled today.

Essentially, it's an all-in-one:
• computer
• cell phone
• iPod
• digital camera
• crackberry, etc. (you get the picture)
...that fits in the palm (no pun intended) of your hand.

There are 4GB (~US$499) and 8GB (~US$599) models.

In the US, Apple has partnered with Cingular and the cost will include 2 years of service. Sweet. I've already signed up for updates but I guess I'll have to wait for news about a Canadian carrier.

Oh, and by the way Steve, my birthday is April 4 and it's a special one. (A girl can dream can't she?) :)

What will you be adding to your birthday list?

Note: updated Jan. 10.
