Lavish and Squalor is a beautifully decorated independent clothing retailer on Queen street west. The exposed brick walls, creative displays and dark distressed hardwood flooring make for a cozy shopping experience. There are two floors of clothes…More »

I was killing time in Parkdale (waiting for a table at Grand Electric, of course) when I spotted the pinball machine in a window across the street. Stepping in to Community 54 I found the makings of an old school arcade. There was Street Fighter…More »

4.0 star rating
  10/28/2010

I had walked into a few suit shops that day to no avail. When I wasn't being completely ignored, I was being misunderstood, belittled, bedeviled, and befondled. (OK, maybe not the last one.)

At last, I pedalled my way to the heart of Kensington and…More »

  1/13/2011

Winter is approaching (i.e., it's here) so I was looking for a middle ground between my kicks and my 18" high Sorels. Something sturdy but that doesn't make a sound like I dropped a bag full of hammers every time I take a step. Lured by their bright…More »

4.0 star rating
  2/26/2011

Value Village is a reliable source of kitsch, bric-a-brac, used clothing and craft supplies. It's better organized than you might think, and when I was scouring the racks for an orange polo shirt (I was a douche-o-lantern for Halloween) it was a…More »

I'll try to be as generous as I can considering I am not a wearer of hats.

This place is chock-a-block with headwear for the stylish gentleman or even those that think they are. There are fuzzy fargos, flatcaps, fedoras and toques. They also have…More »

You know, I don't hate H&M. For one, it fills me with sweet nostalgia from my time in Europe when I saw their sign on every Goddamn street corner. Second, the clothes in here are pretty wearable and the prices are low. I also have better luck finding…More »
