Given we’ve all spent so much time at home this year – and will likely continue to for the winter months ahead – we’ve become even more obsessed with all things home. The success of Netflix’s The Home Edit is an excellent case in point. And if you’ve been thinking about tweaking your interiors then the new drop of home pieces from Off-White is coming at a very convenient time.
The brand first launched homewares last year – as well as a limited edition capsule collection of items in partnership with IKEA. Now, the Virgil Abloh-led brand is back with another collection and we’re not lying when we say there’s something for every room in your house. The new Off-White home collection is comprised of 80 (yep, eight-zero) items, including pieces for the kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom.
There’s bed sheets, cushions with the brand’s signature arrow graphic, sleepwear, slippers, towel sets, a bathrobe, a toothbrush, tablecloth, a ceramics collection, a clock, printed chairs and umbrellas on offer in the expansive collection. There’s also a selection of stationary on offer, too. The brand’s signature logos and design elements, such as its “Meteor” holes, are evident throughout the collection – on clocks, umbrella stands, dinnerware, hairbrushes and more.

Korean Beef Bulgogi is easier than you think and doesn’t need any fancy ingredients. It’s a quick dinner that’s ready in 45 minutes with only 10 minutes of actual prep and cook time.
If you are looking to switch things up for dinner with a recipe that’s easier than it sounds, this Korean Beef Bulgogi is it. We first had bulgogi at our neighbourhood Korean restaurant and have always been in love with it. It’s made with both beef and pork and I love the beef version. It’s a part of the amazing Korean BBQ and if you are ever lucky enough to attend one, the smell of sizzling Korean Beef Bulgogi is irresistible.
When I wanted to make this at home, I expected a long, complicated recipe with tons of ingredients that are hard to find. Because well, the flavours are so complex. But honestly it needs about ten ingredients and I always have them in my pantry, especially if you love cooking Asian food.
Bulgogi Marinade
It starts with the marinade. A lot of recipes ask you to marinade overnight but if you are using beef, 30 minutes is enough in my opinion which is what makes this so easy in my book. All the ingredients for the marinade are blended in a food processor. We are using Pear (it’s a great meat tenderiser and also adds flavour and sweetness), Onions, Ginger, Garlic, Dark Soy Sauce, Toasted Sesame Oil, Gochujang or Sriracha, Salt and Sugar. Gochujang is the only ingredient that’s available at speciality Korean stores, but you can easily substitute it with sriracha or even chilli flakes.
Cooking Korean Beef Bulgogi
You can either cook this on a grill or on the stove. The slices of beef are really thin so this takes only 2-3 minutes to cook. Make sure your grill or skillet is super hot and you have everything ready.
If cooking this on a skillet, I recommend using a Cast Iron skillet. Heat it well till it’s almost smoking, add a little oil and add a few slices at a time, making sure not to crowd the pan or the beef will start steaming and you won’t get that lovely caramelization and smoky flavor that we are looking for.
Best Cut of Meat
I recommend using a good cut of meat for this recipe because the beef is cooked really quickly and sliced thinly. A cut with good marbling is what we need here. I prefer using Rib Eye which is a tad expensive but it’s so worth it. Its juicy, has marbling and is suitable for fast cooking on high heat.
While cutting meat for beef bulgogi, wrap the ribeye in cling film and freeze it for an hour. This helps firm up the meat and makes it easy to slice. Then slice it thinly against the grain. Toss these slices in the marinade and let this sit covered for 30 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
We love serving Korean Beef Bulgogi over steamed rice or sticky rice. Add any of these to your bowl to add more colour and flavour:
A quick, easy recipe that's got some incredible flavours. This Korean Beef Bulgogi is smoky, juicy and just what weeknight dinners should be made of.

The new BEC X JAGGAD collection is finally here and not only is it perfect for Spring, but it's also a first in the activewear brand's history.
Designed and self-produced by co-founder and Ambassador Bec Judd during stage 4 lockdown in Melbourne, the new range is comprised of clashing colours - blazing orange, fuchsia and barely pinks and navy - and tactile textures, including a panelled sherpa jacket, a ribbed knit bodysuit and quilted high waisted shorts.
"I'm truly excited about this collection, I think it has perfectly fused all of my favourite design elements. The JAGGAD family know to expect pink in any of my collections but I think the addition of a classic navy and the supplementary pop of colour through the orange make this collection a really fun, yet on-trend range," says Bec.
Another first for the brand, having world-renowned photographer Georges Antoni shoot the entire campaign via zoom with models from around the globe - How 2020?! The imagery features Jessica Gomes at-home in LA, Cameron Stephens and Natalie Roser in Sydney, Sarsha Chisholm in Perth, and JAGGAD Ambassador Laura Henshaw and co-founder Michelle Greene at-home in Melbourne.
"While initially it was unusual to picture a campaign being shot without all the normal production bells and whistles, it actually turned out to be really fitting to bring this campaign to life the way we did. At JAGGAD, we love to see our community of women being unstoppable and we feel this campaign really showcases and celebrates the strength of women," says Michelle.
So what can we expect from their fourth collection? Well, alongside your usual crops, tanks and leggings, you'll also find a knitted bodysuit, quilted shorts, a sherpa panelled jacket and new sweater shapes. All easily paired with your classic workout wardrobe.
The BEC X JAGGAD Collection ranges from $70-$200 is available exclusively online at www.jaggad.com.
2020 is the year of addressing many of the rising issues; we’re all making more conscious decisions, reflecting on our well being, mental health, and even acknowledging issues like global warming. Spending months locked down at home was challenging but on the brighter side it gave us the time to sit down and reflect. Just […]
The Atelier Collective, a Toronto-based organization focused on providing workshops, educational tools and other methods of support for female entrepreneurs, is hosting its second digital conference next month. Titled “The Atelier Digital: Beyond 2020,” the virtual event will feature actress/writer/director Mindy Kaling as its keynote speaker.
Founded by two Canadian female entrepreneurs, The Atelier Collective was launched in 2017 to inspire and encourage ambitious women in business from around the world. Given how unpredictable and challenging this year has been, their upcoming conference will focus on how to keep a business thriving in 2020 and beyond.

“2020 has changed everything. It’s changed the way we show up. How we communicate. The way we work. And what it takes to grow,” co-founder Taryn Herritt said in a statement.
Other speakers at this one-day digital conference on November 12 include Glennon Doyle, the New York Times-bestselling author of Untamed; Angela Duckworth, an American academic, psychologist and author; and Sarah Lewis, an associate professor of History of Art & Architecture and African & African American Studies at Harvard University.

The Atelier Digital conference will be split into two tracks: “one for tenacious entrepreneurs who are looking to expand their business in a year of significant change and one for ambitious women in careers who are looking to climb and adapt to the new work environment.” Topics covered over the course of the day will include how to identify growth opportunities during a crisis, how to support BIPOC women and create meaningful change, how to goal-set and strategize in an ever-changing landscape, and more.
The virtual event will run from 9.30am to 5pm EST, reconvening at 7.30pm for the closing keynote speech by Kaling. A digital ticket for the event costs $99, while a VIP ticket (which includes a curated Atelier Experience Box of assorted products from Canadian women-run small businesses plus a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Champagne) costs $199.

Just when we thought we couldn’t love Ryan Reynolds any more, the Canadian actor has teamed up with outerwear brand Canada Goose for an incredibly important reason. Today, Canada Goose announced that together with Reynolds and footwear brand Baffin, they are donating over 300 parkas and pairs of footwear to the students at the Inuujaq School in Arctic Bay, Nunavat.
Reynolds heard that the students at the school did not have access to proper outerwear as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic which saw shipments to the Northern community (which sits above the Arctic Circle on Baffin Island and is one of the most Northern hamlets in Nunavut) drastically reduced. Upon hearing this, he reached out to Canada Goose immediately. “It came to my attention that students at Inuujaq School in Arctic Bay were going without adequate winter clothing. Of course, it highlights a larger issue of basic needs going unmet in Canada’s northern communities,” Reynolds said in a release, adding that he reached out to Canada Goose to “match me in providing these students with essential winter gear.” He continued, “They not only said yes in under 30 seconds but went so far above and beyond matching me. I’m deeply inspired and grateful.”
Gregg Durrant, the principal at Inuujaq School, said that the generous donation from Reynolds and Canada Goose is a gift that “will be remembered for years to come.” He said the school’s mission “is to promote the skills, confidence and cultural pride in our students so they can pursue their dreams, realize their ambitions, become life-long learners and contribute to their community” and noted that “living in a northern community, access to almost everything is limited and this has been accentuated by the impact of COVID-19.” He concluded by saying, “We are so appreciative of the warmth Ryan and Canada Goose have shown our students.”
In addition to the donation, Canada Goose has also today announced the expansion of its Resource Centre Program in partnership with Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK), the national representational organization for Inuit in Canada. To date, Canada Goose has donated over one million metres of fabric and material to northern communities to assist in parka making. Now, the program will see the company donate repurposed parkas (many of which have been upcycled through the brand’s warranty program) to the four regions of Inuit Nunangat.
Natan Obed, the president of ITK, said that “this contribution will help ensure that families have what they need to celebrate our winter weather with gear that is appropriate to our climate and supportive of our way of life. Inuit have survived since time immemorial crafting clothing from materials found in our environment. But we know that not all families have access to handmade or traditionally made parkas. This initiative will support those in our communities who need it most.”
In an effort to shine a light on supporting the local businesses that have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 crisis, Toronto-based designer Ross Mayer was inspired to create a capsule collection called Local Lover, which features an assortment of message-emblazoned athleisure garments and a tote bag.
“I feel like 2020 is a watershed moment from a cultural standpoint,” Mayer said in a release about the offering, which launched online today. “COVID-19 has caused an economic crisis and at the same time there are massive, exciting cultural changes afoot. I thought it would be great to kick it off with a small capsule that would give people a way to spread the ‘shop local’ message. It’s a way to support the larger community of independent businesses and entrepreneurs who are struggling right now.”
As well as highlighting the fact that our neighbourhood haunts need ongoing attention, a portion of proceeds from sales of Local Lover pieces will go to Uplift Kitchen, an initiative focused on delivering meals to Black-identifying people in the Greater Toronto Area–a group that’s been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 in addition to continually facing the effects of systemic racism in all aspects of life.
“I first discovered Uplift Kitchen after watching a CTV segment that spotlighted what founders Antonia [Lawrence] and Emily [Carson] were doing, and it immediately struck a chord,” Mayer tells FASHION. “What I love about their mission is that they are a grassroots-form of charity, and it was the perfect pairing of local small business where we truly felt we could see a difference being made. Watching Uplift Kitchen start as a simple neighbourhood outreach and grow so quickly was nothing short of a call to action for the Mayer brand.”
To further amplify the message of locally-focused love, Mayer encourages those who’ve purchased an item from the new capsule to post with the hashtag #mylogoislocal.
