Another US chain store has made its way past the border...I couldn't be happier!

West Elm is like the child of Ikea and Pier 1 -- it has some Pier 1 classic design with sparks of Ikea modernity at Ikea-esque prices. They carry furniture from coffee…More »

Girl Friday is fabulous. Great clothes, decent prices, great staff and cute store. What really sold me on this store was as I was about to buy my Soia & Kyo coat, the sales girl told me to wait a week because they were having a coat-buying party and…More »

If shopping is your religion and your credit card statements could form a bible, you should probably stay away from Yorkdale. But you won't. No one should. I never will.

Yorkdale was my high school mall, the mall where everyone used to hang out after…More »

If you're only going to go to one Club Monaco location in the country, this one should be it. Historical building + modern interior + clothes? How can you say no to that?

This location is enormous, with way more merchandise and space to walk around.…More »

  Update - 12/23/2008

I've bumped up my review to five stars because it was a one-stop shopping heaven for winter boots for my boyfriend in the middle of a snowstorm. The girl helping us was GREAT, and she even humored me when I wanted to try on all the sale moccasins…More »

This store is absolutely adorable and a GREAT place to buy gifts. They have all sorts of knick-knacks you would usually find in these kind of stores -- the whole Knock-Knock line of sarcastic post-its, those cute little dolls dressed in kimonos, tiny…More »

Best part about Showroom -- even if you buy their cheapest jeans, you can get them hemmed for free. I bought a pair of Cheap Mondays that only cost $80 and got them hemmed to perfectly fit my short little legs.

As for the store itself, they have a…More »

Rolo the store is similar to Rolo the candy -- they may both be small, but WOW are they ever fun. This store in Yorkville is tiny as all hell, but the walls are full of fun gift items and it's just a fun store in general.

You'll probably be drawn in…More »

This store is heavenly. It's heaven for anyone who loves to cook, who wants to love to cook, who knows someone who loves to cook, or who dreams of having one of those beautiful kitchens in Martha Stewart's magazine.

I believe I fit into all four of…More »
