Ten signs you are in fact a hipster: 1. Your new haircut resembles that of Dan Humphrey in the final season of Gossip Girl. 2. You wear a beanie in the summertime. 3. You've recently started your career as a professional blogger, and you thrive on posting photos of all the ways you can style [...]
"I want to go places and see people. I want my mind to grow. I want to live where things happen on a big scale." — F.

Independent galleries line Dundas and Queen West. [...]
