Kat "don't get me started!" F.'s Profile

Not A Shopaholic

The only thing I hate more than shopping is seeing people reading the insipid "Shopaholic" book series on public transit. But when I do need to go to a physical store to shop, here's where I go!

1. Trove

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

Categories: Accessories, Shoe Stores

Neighborhood: 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 »

If you covet Onitsuka Tigers the way I covet Onitsuka Tigers, you'll fall in love with Groovy.

They have the best OT selection in the city - like, an entire floor-to-ceiling wall covered with Tigers in every colour imaginable. I bought my beloved…More »

Neighborhood: Back Bay

4/2/2009

I am a huge Urban Outfitters fan and I loved my shopping experience at this UO location. I usually browse stuff online in advance and make a note of it in my phone or in a list of some sort (go figure, I love lists - who knew??) and then head to the…More »

The Mecca.

This is a MAC Pro store (the only one in Toronto, and one of four in all of Canada), which means several things:
* you're likely to stumble upon professional makeup artists rushing in to buy random things like 10 kilos of body glitter
*…More »

Categories: Men's Clothing, Women's Clothing

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 »

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 »

As a woman, is there anything more frustrating and humiliating than shopping for jeans? The answer is no. Those that know me know I'm not a patient person so something like sifting through racks of practically free jeans at Winners or piles of…More »

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 »
