On this episode of Finding Your Bliss, we have a show devoted to fashion and Toronto’s first ever large scale luxury resale shopping event. Host Judy Librach is joined by Amy Polevoy, the Style Heiress, and event creator of the upcoming Angels Wear Preloved: The Luxury Resale Show, featuring vendors like Dawn’s award-winning Rewind Couture. Rewind is Toronto’s premier destination for luxury designer resale. Rewind offers women a curated collection of coveted designer women’s wear, up to 90% off retail. Shoppers get exclusive access to the elite closets of Toronto and the glamorous runways around the world. Rewind will be bringing a collection of over 100 pieces from designers such as Chanel, Brunello Cucinelli, Balmain, Fendi, Gucci, Valentino, Oscar de la Renta and much more. All items will be 70-90% off regular retail prices. Also on the program and featured at the event is The Restylist, Dahlia Paul! For years, Dahlia Paul, was the founder of Restyle/Renew, a boutique dedicated to helping women refresh their wardrobes. With a background as a teacher for 18 years, Dahlia naturally gravitated toward guiding and educating her clients, helping them understand not just what to wear, but why. Restyle/Renew was her first step into creating a curated fashion destination. Today, Dahlia has rebranded and elevated her vision as The Restylist. This new chapter is rooted in her lifelong inspiration from the arts and her family: theatre and music outings with her parents. And not only were her grandparents professional musicians, her 99-year-old grandmother always embodies timeless style. With this rebrand, Dahlia focuses on one-of-a-kind, experience-driven styling where exclusivity, individuality, and artistry are at the heart. Each appointment is more than shopping—it’s a curated, personal experience, designed to make every woman feel confident, elevated, and truly seen. Also on the program is Amy Polevoy, also known as The Style Heiress. In high school, Amy Polevoy discovered a deep love for vintage shopping and she was drawn to the thrill of finding that perfectly unique piece that set her apart. Whether it was a distressed pair of Levi’s, a patchwork jacket, or a tooled leather belt with an ornate buckle (a style signature she still leans on today), Amy quickly became known for her elevated fashion sense. She was a regular at Winners—Canada’s version of Saks Off Fifth—scouring the racks for designer deals. For Amy, there were few things more exhilarating than the hunt for a bargain. Although she fell for the trends of the time (BIG STAR Jeans and INDIAN MOTORCYCLE baby tees included), she always held out for the big sample sales where she could maximize her budget. As her wardrobe evolved, so did her reputation among peers—and unfortunately, so did her anxiety issues, which began in her teens and would become a lifelong companion. During university, Amy worked at Mendocino, one of Toronto’s most coveted fashion destinations. As a store manager, she received a $750 clothing allowance every quarter and 50% off everything else. For Amy, it wasn’t just a job—it was a jackpot. Customers asked to shop with her by name, and her friends constantly reached out for fashion advice. Her confidence—and passion for the fashion industry—continued to flourish. In her twenties and early thirties, Amy held respected positions with some of Canada’s most influential media brands, including Tribute Magazine, MuchMusic, and MTV Canada. She had the opportunity to learn from industry leaders, including Jamie Salter, now the founder and CEO of Authentic Brands Group—a powerhouse in the global fashion space. Amy’s final role in the corporate world was, to her, the ultimate dream job: working at FLARE, Canada’s #1 fashion magazine. Surrounded by the best in the industry, she found validation not only in her work but in her personal style, which continued to earn admiration. But when Rogers Communications made the decision to shut down FLARE as ...
