Oh Holts! How I love you!

If only I had an enormous paycheck.. I would dedicate major time and money to you. For now I will just browse and occasionally treat myself to something I apparently can't live without!

As the Canadian version of Bloomingdales…More »

This Winners is much smaller than a typical Winners and definitely lacks the clothing selection found at College Park or Yorkville.

However, they have a great shampoo/conditioner section (I got 2 1litres for 30 bucks). I had gone to the Winners at…More »

The Bay... a store I've always associated with buying towels and somewhere a mother buys her son shorts and boxers. After hearing that the Bay had undergone a transformation, I decided to go take a look for myself.
