Well, we made it! One year. This week we have learned a little more about the staff & contributors at E&A – we could not have had the success we have had without them. Join us today from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the shop to celebrate our first year. xo E & A

Emeline Villedary, Co-Owner

I have lived in: Toronto, Montreal
Book(s) on my nightstand right now: Can’t remember the title- an impulse borrow from the library
My Imaginary best friends: Drew Barrymore, Marilyn-the later years, Nancy Drew, Eli Cash
Mortal enemies: Mariah Carey, babies in diaper commercials, manager of Premiere Moisson, the girl who made fun of my wolf tee-shirt on the 24 bus in 1996.
Overrated: being thin, arcade fire
Guilty pleasure(s): hot dogs and root beer, Black Eyed Peas, Lands’ End catalogs, cowboy hats, The Royal Winter Fair in Toronto
If I go to hell, I’ll be forced to: make mashed potatoes while listening to the Barenaked Ladies
Right now I’m wearing: My own ruffle tee shirt, Joe Fresh Jeans, Banana Republic orange cardigan and my new Tretornboots
Sew do’s & don’ts: DON’T SEW OVER PINS; if you think it’ll “just take a minute” be prepared to be at it for at least an hour.
This designer would dress me for the Oscars: Vintage Ralph Lauren,
This actor/actress would play me in my Hollywood movie: Drew Barrymore, Maggie Gyllenhaal
When I grew up, I was going to be: A fashion designer in the winter, a horse veterinarian in the summer and a florist in spring.
My friends call me: Em, Millie, EmmyLou, Shmeline, Munkeee, Mama (repeat 10 000 000/hour),
Favorite quote:

“Shut it Down” – Liz Lemon

I love: getting my nails done, horses, being right, buying flowers, Mrs Meyers cleaning products, buttered toast, country fairs
