Kat "the way you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed" F.'s Profile

My Favourite Shopping Destinations

Admittedly I'm not a huge fan of shopping - I prefer to browse stuff online than sift through racks and racks of shapeless pieces of fabric. But when I get that periodic urge to inject some life into my wardrobe, these are the shopping hotspots that are guaranteed to destroy my credit card!

1. Frock

97 Roncesvalles Ave
Toronto, ON M6R 2K9
Canada
(416) 516-1333

Categories: Accessories, Women's Clothing

Neighbourhood: Roncesvalles

4/2/2009

I love that Frock is located so close to my home because it's only a short stroll away and I'm suddenly transported into a wonderful boutique crammed to the gills with Stuff I Like™.

Frock was the first place in Toronto (as far as I know, anyway) to…More »

2. Trove

793 Bathurst St
Toronto, ON M5S 1Z5
Canada
(416) 516-1258

Categories: Accessories, Shoe Stores

Neighbourhood: Palmerston

4/1/2009

Trove is one of my "holy grail"/top 5 places to shop in Toronto. If I have money to burn* you can pretty much guarantee I'll do a stopover at Trove on Bathurst (or their new location in Bloor West, which is dangerously close to where I live). It has…More »

3. Winners

444 Yonge St
Toronto, ON M5B 2H4
Canada
(416) 598-8800

Categories: Department Stores, Shoe Stores, Men's Clothing, Women's Clothing

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

Update - 5/18/2010

This Winners location still consistently stocks the most recent Matt + Nat models and has them in every colour, finish and size. You need to seriously dig because deals lurk in EVERY CORNER. The shoe department is also pretty decent but it's the bags…More »

In addition to the Yorkville location, Yonge/College is my favourite Winners store. I'm writing this… Read more »

Canada

Categories: Men's Clothing, Women's Clothing

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

3/31/2009 First to Review

RW&Co in the Eaton Centre is one of my most beloved places to shop. It's a relaxing atmosphere that isn't at all rushed, the salespeople absolutely leave you alone unless you approach them for help, and the store is beautifully organized and always…More »

5. Urban Outfitters

235 Yonge St
Toronto, ON M5B 1N8
Canada
(416) 214-1466

Categories: Women's Clothing, Men's Clothing, Home Decor

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

4/2/2009

Despite the naysaying of Urban Outfitters in general, I am a huge fan and use the store's website to get outfit ideas and make a general shopping list for myself. I browse things on the site, make a note in my phone or in a list of some sort (go…More »

6. Sephora

Toronto, ON M5S 1P7
Canada
(416) 513-1100

Category: Cosmetics & Beauty Supply

Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Yorkville, Downtown Core

4/1/2009

Of the three Sephora locations in Toronto, this is the best one. It's WAY less crowded than the two mall locations and as a result the store is in much better shape. The testers are more plentiful and tidy, plus they ooze less (the testers at the…More »

Toronto, ON M4Y 2A6
Canada

Categories: Accessories, Jewellery, Women's Clothing

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

4/17/2009

Along with Trove, Propaganda is my favourite place in the city to shop for unique jewellery. A lot of it is made by local designers and is one of a kind. The owner is really nice and there is never pressure to buy anything and I like that there's…More »

Toronto, ON M5T 2J7
Canada

Categories: Used, Vintage & Consignment, Jewellery

Neighbourhood: Kensington Market

4/4/2009

I remember going to Courage My Love in the 90s to buy secondhand dresses, scarves and sunglasses and to buy materials for necklace-making. I marvelled at the fact that Liz from Degrassi (who is now one of Toronto's top yoga instructors) worked there…More »

If you're tired of showing up wearing clothes that everyone else already has cause you buy from the usual suspects (Gap, Zara, UO, Old Navy, etc.), then you're ready for the awesomeness that is Joe Fresh.

If you've ever been to a show at Kool…More »

Category: Department Stores

Neighbourhoods: Yorkville, Downtown Core

I feel like such an imposter in this store.

However, nothing gets between me and my NARS & Laura Mercier.

Imagine my surprise when I walked into Holt's today (honestly - is a doorman fucking necessary?) and saw a Shu Uemura counter immediately upon…More »

I can't bear the thought of entering this store without walking out stacked with bags on both arms and a wallet significantly more empty than when I entered. This boutique has it all, and it's crammed with brands like Girl Friday, Matt + Nat, Foxy,…More »
