Categories:
Accessories,
Shoe Stores
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, SOMA
I love baker's for some reason. Their shoes are so reasonably priced for how nice they are. I've bought two pairs of shoes here before.
Story: while waiting around for my friends to arrive at Westfield to shop with me, I walk into bakers. I see a…More »
2. Chapters
North York, ON M2K 1E6
(416) 222-6323
Category:
Bookstores
Neighbourhoods: Bayview Village, Willowdale
One of my favourite hang spots on weekends. I'd come here and read books all the time. Yes I know. nerd.
It's a small location as Lynda said, so sometimes stock is not so good. Don't expect new or farfetched books--but the classics and always here, as…More »

Women's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Willowdale
I don't know what it is with my mom and Italian clothing. I also don't know why it's necessary I have to follow her and give her advice.
Well actually I do. She likes Italian clothing because it's intricate and it fits her (she's tiny!).
The people…More »
4. Tiffany & Company
Toronto, ON M5S 1M1
(416) 921-3900
I got a gift from Tiffany's that I didn't particularly like, so I decided to return it. I got a store credit way too big for me to spend in one go and I'm not a really big fan of jewelry anyway.
I came twice to spend the credit and I still have some…More »
5. Sandro Bayview Village
North York, ON M2K 1E6
(416) 221-3033
Neighbourhoods: Bayview Village, Willowdale
I'm not a fan of this place. My mom loves it for some reason, but I just find it is extremely unattractive and extremely overpriced.
Sandro gets its clothes from Italy, which is the reason they give for the ridiculously high prices. But $200 for a…More »
6. Roots Canada Ltd
North York, ON M2K 1E6
(416) 229-2144
Neighbourhoods: Bayview Village, Willowdale
Remember when Roots (and the Gap) was cool? Like when you were in elementary school?
Good god, the things that happen when your parents dress you.
I never would have believed I'd ever voluntarily wander into Roots...
...or leave with a purchase!
I think…More »

Category:
Shoe Stores
Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Yorkville, Downtown Core
I love shoes probably almost to a disgustingly excessive degree, and I love all the shoes Davids has: red louboutins and gold jimmy choos and pink marc jacobs--everything.
I walked in fully intending to buy a pair of shoes and I walked out empty…More »
8. Future Shop
North York, ON M2N 6Z4
(416) 642-7980
Neighbourhood: Willowdale
This future shop is a little on the small side. I used to come here a lot just to browse the electronics and movies.
I was here recently to buy a new music player after my trusty clunky old school iPod finally called it quits. I was hoping for a…More »
9. The Body Shop
North York, ON M2K 1E6
(647) 258-0311
Neighbourhoods: Bayview Village, Willowdale
"Meh. I've experienced better." Pretty much.
It's a small location but it carries all the favourites (of course. what else would they carry if not the favourites? what a dumb observation for me to make).
It IS Bayview Village, one of the hoity-toitiest…More »

Neighbourhoods: Bayview Village, Willowdale
Dear Shoppers,
Can we discuss this whole two-floors deal? Because I don't like having to change my elevation level to find useful things like sunscreen/contact solution when more than half of the normal floor is taken up by not useful things like…More »

the secret is to come here right when it opens or right before it closes.
you will most probably see old chinese men or women running laps around the mall. (i mean laps. they are all decked out in running gear and fanny packs also.)

Fashion Crimes has some wonderful finds.
If you can find them.
That's the whole crime of this store (ok. the awful puns stop now, I promise). Good luck walking around--dresses and racks and people are everywhere.
I say this store is kinda of like the…More »

This Lacoste is kind of useless.
Honestly! There's nothing in here. I came to look around and I left within seconds. All they have is their typical tennis stuff, maybe under 30 items in total. No normal clothing for streetwear.
Don't waste your time if…More »
14. Shoppers Drug Mart
Pretty much the only people who come here are the girls from the girls school nearby. they come before school, during school, after school...
I know, I was one of them.
Actually scratch the "during school". Clearly we were all angelic and didn't skip…More »
15. Sonic Boom - CLOSED
Kind of reminded me of amoeba in california!
Retro, cds, vinyl, tshirts, stereos, anything music related.
I especially like the listening stations, where you can listen to your music before buying it. The station also has a scanner so you can scan your…More »

I love club monaco and its clothes. love love love. there's something really cool about their classic take on everything. funky and gothic is soooo overrated.
This location is also really nice. Big enough for a good selection, not big enough that…More »

The little kid in me loves a treasure hunt. I managed to paw through the buckets of buttons to find some really neat ones that I hope to use as pendants. I also managed to find LOTS of the same buttons, which wasn't nearly quite as fun.

This CM is a bit too big, a bit too crowded, and a bit too messy for me.
They have a really big selection but it's a bit difficult for me to focus while trying to wind my way through different sections of the store, tables, and more recently little…More »

As far as American Apparels go, there are no surprises here. Simple pieces, candy-mountain colour selections. Sizes designed to make you feel awfully self-conscious. It's a nice-sized location though--not too large or small.
What I really like about…More »
22. Icon Shoes
I love icon.
They're pretty reasonably priced for the lovely shoes I get here--and I love shoes! I love they style of shoes they have--my favourite pair of shoes are from here (they're neon yellow-limegreen flats with cutouts...sounds strange but…More »

Anna V is totally right when saying girls who shop at Aritzia too much have a look about them.
I would know. My school was pretty much 90% of those people.
I don't mean that 90% of the students there were like that. I mean 90% of people like that went…More »

There isn't much to say in way of this store. It's always messy, and it's a lot smaller than most urban locations.
The sales staff are usually pretty unfriendly as well. I had to wait for one of them to finish talking to another one before he decided…More »

I love the umbra concept store a lot for the leisurely time-killing stroll. I;ve loved umbra designs forever so I almost died when I set foot in the concept store a few years ago.

I loooove Club Monaco in Toronto (like here http://www.yelp.ca/biz... and here http://www.yelp.ca/biz...).
I didn't think it was possible for me to like CM more...until I went to this location.
I guess I will grudgingly admit the USA does do some stuff…More »

Again, another popular/great browsing spot in the annex.
I love looking at office supplies--maybe it makes me feel as though I will accomplish more if I have a nice pen, or dayplanner, or folder. It's like the unspoken promise that whispers from the…More »
32. Aritzia
As I go to Aritzia more and more often, the salesgirls scare me more and more.
For example, today, I went to this location of Aritzia. I walked around, undisturbed for a few minutes until I happened upon a really cute totally oversized cape-like…More »

This Anthro is nice because it's on Fourth Street. The location is the only reason I may be swayed to visit--if it were by itself anywhere else, I wouldn't take all the effort to go.
The location is an impressive size--pretty large, racks of clothes…More »
35. Aerie
Aerie never fails to make me smile when I walk in. It's got such a cute, laidback, but girly look...and comfy too. What else more can a girl ask for?
I LOVE Aerie bras. They are my absolute favourite and I almost never buy bras that are not from them.…More »

Looks like almost everything in this store was made from vintage/recycled sweaters.
It works sometimes, and it doesn't work other times.
They use other materials, too...I saw some suit-like material, felty materials, chiffon/gauze...

As a non-native californian resident, I'm still reeling from how awesome trader joe's is. every time I come here, it's like I'm playing a hide and seek treasure hunt game. There are so many gems waiting to be discovered, packed away in the aisles.
