This editoral really caught my eye because of the 1950′s styling with a modern day twist. The pops of color and the night time shoots really added to a great shoot.

US high end retailer Nordstrom will be opening in 4 Canadian cites starting in 2014. The new stores will be opening in Calgary in 2014, Ottawa and Vancouver in 2015, and Toronto in 2016. Over the years I have seen more and more US companies expanding up North. Is this a good or bad thing? I will be interested in the reception to another US brand moving across the border.
