With CEO Bonnie Brooks at the helm (plus her staff - including the fabulous Arren Williams - yes editorial bias here!) the store has become the epitome of "Cozy Canadiana cool".
I just love all the new products inspired by the iconic striped blanket.

A new book on the Hudson's Bay Co book published by the very styley publisher Assouline.

A cute tee created in collaboration with Shared.
*The Bay's new Bannock restaurant + Foodwares market are also fantastic.*

Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander in the Girl with the Dragon tattoo.
Very kick ass.
I predict she will inspire the return of short hair.
