Now that there's only two weeks of Christmas shopping time left, get thee to one of the city's best holiday pop-up shops,LUST (Let Us Style Toronto). The one-day sale does have impeccable credentials: it was organized byThe Fashion Collective, the crew who shot new life into Fashion Week last season with a spate of hot young talent.

A couple of their Fashion Week compatriots will be displaying their wares upstairs atThe Gladstonetoday, where the sale is taking place until 10pm.

I got a sneak peek last night; standouts on the clothing side include cropped leather blazers and wool catsuits fromHouse of Groves, tiger-striped backless silk dresses and elegant cotton pants byChloe Comme Paris, and a rack full of high-end vintage byMagwood(try on a nineties-era Versace belt or a teal silk jaquard jacket trimmed with mink).

More traditional Christmas prezzies abound, too, in the form of beautifully packagedMary Macleodshortbread, gorgeous-smellingLovefreshbath stuff, colourfulHappy Socks(perfect for dads), andDaLishcosmetics.

Santa's such an unfashionable chap: beat him to the punch and buy local!
