I have finally found a burrito place in Toronto to rival my love of Chipotle!

Cheap and tasty, what more could you want.  For a $6 burrito, it doesn't get better.  I had the beef satay burrito which comes with grilled beef chunks, lettuce, tomato,…More »

I've been a fan of their camera bags for a while, but I didn't realize they had such a large selection of bags.  I love the vintage Toshiba laptop they had on display with their notebook sleeves (see picture).  Sure you're going to pay a little more…More »

Definitely not what I was expecting this store to be, but in a good way.  I can see why people have trouble walking out without buying something.  I almost bought a print but since it would have been final sale I thought I should double check with…More »

Beautiful irony is how I would describe this place.  They have many of the feminist items that so many stores carry now but there is a lot more.  about a third of the store is dedicated to beauty products (i.e. Burt's Bees), another third to…More »

This store is great.  The next party I'm having I'm going to come here for vintage postcards to make into invitations.  There's a great colour selection of stationary with some off-beat selections also.  I almost bought the Take-out Menu organizer…More »

Home storage and organizing solutions galore.  They carry many of the popular brands like Umbra.  This is the place to come after you've bought you Ikea furniture and you need bins and organizers for the drawers and shelves.  All of the products are…More »

This small store offers an interesting selection of furniture, lamps, art, and jewelry.  The art will run you about $300 for an acryllic piece.  They had some interesting bars for around $600.  This store is more of a gallery than a furniture store.

This place is an antique store meets deco furniture store with a hint of garage sale.  There is no sense of organization to the store as it just seems that as they get a new piece they just add it to the pile.  There are some really cool older pieces…More »
