I love this boutique!

Categories: Accessories, Women's Clothing, Dollar Store

Neighbourhood: West End

10/4/2010

I have such a weak spot for this place. Whenever I come to English Bay I find myself drifting toward TQN to find me a deal. Brands like Kensie, American Apparel, Groggy, etc., are sold here at hugely discounted prices. The cheap sunglasses, cute…More »

Shoe heaven!

Forget the big shoe sale (it's insane) the shoes here are great all year round. I've been shocked looking up the retail value of my gorgeous heels after I bought them here... and they're always a killer deal. I bought a pair of Elie…More »

JNBY is one of those stores that I love for never falling into cheesy style traps. I honestly think that I would wear anything in there proudly, because it's all too cool for school (me, even). Clean lines, neutral colours, fun angles,…More »

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown

12/23/2010 First to Review

It's not cheap, but it's niiiiice. For boots that fit like a glove and have a stubby wooden heel, you'll be shelling out $300 but they'll outshine the competition. There's some sort of metal in the sole as well, to give it strength. I won't exactly…More »

What a treat to get some retail therapy in after a sunny hike to Quarry Rock. While the bf waited in line at Honeys Doughnuts, my gf and I wandered over to LaLa's. I've been wanting to check this place out for the past 5 years (I've heard very good…More »

*Expensive statement pieces*

I came here as a result of buying two coupons from Living Social: $50 for $100 worth of clothing at Atomic Model. Curious, I stopped by here to see what kind of treasure I could pick up.

At first, I was disappointed.…More »

Whoa. If you've ever been curious to try on a corset, do it and do it here. From the moment they placed that red satin miracle around my hips I was smitten. They transformed me from a frumpy crazy cat lady (sans the cats) into an curvaceous vixen.…More »

3/26/2011

HOL brings high-end fashion to the Kensington Cedar Cottage...wild, I know. Now if this store were in Oakridge mall it would make sense, but for this neighbourhood it's a surprising treat. And this isn't just women's fashion, but men's too. True…More »

Hip, modern, chic with an appreciation for vintage: there's nothing this boutique/consignment store can't do. With new stuff for those on the cutting edge and great pre-loved pieces for those with vintage appreciation or smaller budgets, the store…More »
