1. Betsey Johnson
Vancouver, BC V6E 1A1
(604) 488-0314
Categories:
Accessories,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
One of the few designers that can bring me to my knees, squeal with joy, ooh and ahh, all while drooling (and gasping over the price tags).
Anytime I feel a little blah, a trip to Betsey will fill me with glee for the rest of the day. It's like a…More »
2. Vancouver Special
I can't say I'd ever spend a few hundred dollars on an alarm clock, or have the need for a paper house making kit, but I like to know I have the option.
If you're one of those impossible people to buy gifts for, your loved ones might want to have a…More »
3. M Smart Design - CLOSED
West Vancouver, BC V7T 2Z3
(778) 280-3610
Category:
Furniture Stores
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Strathcona
I have been carefully saving up for a big purchase because I fell in love at M Smart Design. The object of my desire? A natural latex mattress, breathable and sealed in organic merino wool. I know dreamy isn't it? (really, it's because I'm paranoid…More »
4. Bloomfields Flowers & Pottery
Surprisingly large, it's like walking into the pots area at Art Knapps. Lots of pots of all shapes, sizes and colours with a Dunbar/Kits area price tag on it.
I've been shopping at Choices next door for a few years, but have never stopped in...until…More »
5. Bungalow
Vancouver, BC V5T 3C5
(604) 708-8020
Category:
Furniture Stores
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Is it okay to fall in love with a piece of wood? I swooned over the coffee table I saw and wished that it come in a kitchen table size. The modernistic art pieces on the wall also caught my eye and gave me a chance to linger, just long enough to…More »
6. CHANGE
Sorry guys, this review is strictly for gals. Unless you know any ladies who like sexy bras and panties that fit like they should.
Firstly - some edu-bra-cation (that I learned from the fabulous manager from the Change stores on W 10th and Broadway…More »
7. Show Room
Toronto, ON M5V 2A1
(416) 977-3888
Categories:
Men's Clothing,
Home Staging
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
Okay, so I haven't been inside Show Room for over 2 years - the last time I entered I walked out with the most fabulously expensive BROWN denim jeans that still give me compliments from strangers! Still, every time I put them on, I feel like a…More »
8. Crocodile Baby Store
Vancouver, BC V6K 1N6
(604) 742-2762
Categories:
Children's Clothing,
Baby Gear & Furniture
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
I know I don't have children myself - but I've got lots of kiddies to buy for. And everytime there is a birthday, birth, or baby shower to attend - I hit up 4th Ave and make the rounds at Crocodile and Hip Baby.
It's not the store itself that is…More »
9. Object Design - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9
(604) 683-7763
Category:
Jewellery
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
I'm wishing...I'm wishing...for the one I love...to buy me...to buy me... something pretty from here! (if you were in my head right now - you'd be hearing the Snow White Wishing Fountain song)
Beautiful jewelry pieces by local artists, helpful…More »
10. Mona Euro Furniture
I could see myself giving Mona more stars...in another universe where I have a money tree that gives and gives and gives.
Brand new to the furniture hub of Gastown, Mona offers Italian and German crafted furniture for the dining and living areas.…More »
11. Freedman Shoes
Vancouver, BC V6H 3J4
(604) 731-0448
Category:
Shoe Stores
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
It's been a while since I've visited you, oh dear shoe store. And I'm sorry. It's just that every time I visit, my credit card wants to run and hide from the abuse it's about to endure.
And me, well, I'm like an addict --when I'm in your presence, i…More »
12. FULLHOUSE Modern
Vancouver, BC V6J 1L6
(604) 733-7789
Categories:
Home Decor,
Furniture Stores
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Dragging my feet from one furniture shop to another along S. Granville, I was starting to get modern-d out. On a mission for some shelves/storage I was desperately seeking something Un-Ikea.
After a lot of browsing, measuring, humming and hawing and…More »
13. Gravity Pope Shoes
Shoe-a-holics be warned. You're leaving with at least one new pair of kicks. The only shoe store in town to have never disappointed me - in terms of selection and service (and the right size!).
From designer Marc by Marc Jacobs to staple brands like…More »
14. Foundlings
Real. Patent. Leather. Wallets. In. Bright. Colours. Made. For. Real. Life. But. Not. For. Real. Budgets. [insert hyperventilating here]
You vixen of a perfect wallet. Lots of pockets, places for up to 12 credit cards, magnetic snap close, lined in a…More »
