Get To Know Vocado!

Kolleen & Emily at Vocado

Downtown Oakville has many fabulous clothing boutiques, but one of my favourites is Vocado. Not only do they have a great selection of clothing, accessories and footwear, as well as the hottest denim selection in town, but it’s the kind of place where the staff immediately make you feel comfortable, and as co-owner Emily says “it’s a warm, friendly environment and we’re proud of it, and customers become our friends and we love that.”

The co-owners of Vocado are long time friends, and met years ago when they both worked at a children’s toy and book store on Lakeshore Road as teenagers. Emily Dobbie and Kolleen Hanna both grew up in Oakville, and they dreamt that one day they would open a fabulous boutique filled with all of their favourite fashions. Now, they actually have two fabulous boutiques, one in Liberty Village in Toronto, and their hometown location in Oakville, just down the street from where they met.

Core1 – Oakville’s Apple store with more

Tuesday, October 16th, 2012

Core-1

Most people have at least one Apple product in their house. Even if you aren’t an iPhone user, or don’t have a Mac Book, it’s likely that you have some form of iPod in your possession.

Core1 is THE place to go for everything Apple.

From cables, cords and a new set of earbud headphones to the groundbreaking performance of the ultra fast Mac Pro desktop. But Core1 isn’t just the place to go to pick up the latest gadgets; it’s the place to go to learn how to make the most out of them as well.

Located in Downtown Oakville, Core1 is your Apple store with more. With a modern, yet comfortable environment, the friendly and helpful highly trained staff will be happy to answer all of your questions. Core1 is also one of the few retailers to receive the coveted Apple Premium Service Provider title, so you can be confident in knowing you’ve come to the right place.

From how to download music from iTunes, to in-depth training on the latest operating system, Core1 offers training session seminars and workshops on a variety of different levels, from one-on-one to group lessons. First time Mac purchasers who are new to the Apple world, or even new to computers, can sign up for weekly sessions for an entire year for as little as $99.

Blo Oakville Blow Dry Bar is under new management with Maureen Canning at the helm! For the official opening of this unique blow dry bar, the pink carpet was laid out, the first Titan Motorsport Twin Turbo Lamborghini Gallardo installed in Canada was in its place of honour in front of the Blo Oakville shop, the Blo chairs were filled with happy women having their complimentary blo-outs with blowers dressed in pink, a party was in full swing and the ribbon cutting ceremony began.

Located at 107 Thomas Street in trendy Downtown Oakville, Blo Oakville does not use scissors; no dye, no cuts and no colour! There is no need to cheat on your hairdresser! Nothing could be easier – seriously – you can just walk-in or make an appointment, choose from one of the seven blo styles on the featured menu, such as sexy razor-straight “Executive Sweet” or the rocker-chic inspired “Sex Hugs and Rock and Roll”, and leave, thirty minutes later, with a beautiful hair style, looking your best. Just WASH – BLOW – GO!

Organic Food Store Opens in Oakville

Tuesday, March 13th, 2012
Beef and 3 Cheese Lasagna at Family First Organic Meals

Last year, Infant Organics introduced their wonderful line of homemade, fully organic baby and toddler food to the area. Lynne Faye and her two grown children, Mike and Stephanie, work together making the very best food for all the different stages of a baby’s development, full of goodness, and with no additives or preservatives. And now Infant Organics have introduced their newest addition, aptly named Family First, with a complete line of mouth-watering and nutritious food that all ages can enjoy, from kids to adults. Fully prepared, 100% certified organic, and not only good for you but delicious too!

From breakfast, lunch and dinner to handy starters and snacks, all of the choices are made from scratch using recipes that Lynne has carefully and lovingly created. Back when I was first introduced to Infant Organics, I was surprised by how colourful their Rosy Applesauce was, since I had never seen pre-packaged applesauce look as bright and delectable as this before. Mike explained that since they buy their produce and other ingredients as close to home as possible and clean, steam, and flash-freeze it right away, it makes an incredible difference, by keeping more of the valuable nutrients in, and producing more vivid colours and taste. And of course, buying locally helps to support our area farmers.
