Boutiques & Malls Reviews

"The Mall" is this mystical place where every teenage dream comes true:  meeting friends at The Mall, seeing a movie with a new boyfriend at The Mall, shopping for prom dresses at The Mall... One-stop shopping is only one of the many reasons we're drawn to these indoor and outdoor modern-day bazaars like moths to the flame.

As much as we love the reliability of finding our favourite brands on the ubiquitous mall directory boards, other shopping aficionados live for the hunt of the next great boutique.  Independent hat makers, curated dress boutiques, and only-found-here lingerie locales are the treasures that tempt these supporters of the local economy.  Expense, justified.

Fairview Mall
Now that they've gotten rid of the movie theatre, no one goes here anymore. It does have a Chapters with Starbucks, future shop, bulk barn, zehrs, and a few clothing stores, but it's really not worth it to go there when there's a better variety at the Pen centre just...

Horrible customer service - I have never been made to feel so bad. I was trying on some dresses and lost track of time. Apparently the store was closing and I overstayed my welcome. Not knowing the store closes at 7pm one of the staff very rudely, and in no uncertain terms...

EvyMama Nursing & Maternity Boutique
I first noticed this sweet little store several months ago when house hunting in the area. I spotted this great dress in the window that I thought would be perfect for an upcoming summer wedding I'm attending. Some pregnant friends had noticed it too and we were all...

Chapters Book Store - Runnymede location
This is for Chapters in general, not this specific location however. I LOVE chapters. I am a huge reader, my guilty pleasures are celebrity biographies. What I love about Chapters is the atomosphere. I can get my Starbucks, find a good book or magazine and find my way over to a...

Beautymark Products Ltd
BeautyMark is located in Yaletown, Vancouver. I love BeautyMark because not only does it carry some of my favorite makeup brands, but they sell purses, undies, jewellery, accessories, clothes and random cute girly things! It'd definitely the place to go in Yaletown. They...

Walmart store #3059 Nanaimo, BC
Lets face it, a Walmart is a Walmart, if you're in Mexico, Canada, or the United States they are basically all the same, with similar products. But this particular store has the WORST customer service ever. They hire mindless idiots to run their tills, they know nothing about...

St. Laurent Centre
We enjoy the St Laurent mall, the kids are crazy for the Rainbow Theatre, and I am crazy for the price of it. Four kids can really add up at other theatres, and even if the movies aren't brand new releases it's great if the little ones just get to go to a movie...

Payless Shoe Source
You can really tell fall is here...its boot season in southern California! Boot sales are popping up all over. But the place that I have found exactly what I was looking for was at Payless Shoe Source. The boots range anywhere from $19 on up! Depends on what you want, and the...

Plato's Closet
FEELING THRIFY? and What to save a buck or two? Then Plato's is the place to go! I found out about these stores while on clinical in Buffalo NY. This store works like a second hand clothing store. The great thing about them is that they will pay YOU for your older and gently...

Bluenotes
Although I admit I'm starting to feel a bit old for shopping here, I love their prices and style availability for jeans, pants. It's one of the only places I can find trendy pieces in my sizes and buying pants as a tall person can sure be a pain in the butt sometimes. After...

The Paper Place
The Paper Place is one of my favourite stores in Toronto for all of my crafty and creative paper needs. It's a cute boutique located on Queen Street W (across from Trinity Bellwoods Park) that sells beautiful papers from all over the world, most of them are from Japan. They...

Sears
I cannot stand shopping at Sears! Not only do I find the store over priced, but I find it to have horrible service. I can never find a sales associate, and the cash registers are all over the place. Then, once you actually find a cash register - there is no one around there to...

Ricki's - Scarborough Town Centre
Ricki's is my favourite store. The service is always excellent, the prices are always good and the quality can't be beat. The sales staff treat customers really well. They bring your clothes to the fitting room as you are shopping, don't limit how much you can take...

Hot Topic
I love Hot Topic! They have the best assortment of clothing for fans of pop culture young and old! :) I recently purchased a number of Sailor Moon and Adventure Time items which I love! Their shipping is extremely high when coming to Canada. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't get...

Charlotte Russe West County
I walked into this store at the mall to return a necklace with my friend. She had a gift receipt and wanted to know how much she could exchange it for. We waited in a three-person line for over fifteen minutes for the salesperson to rudely snatch the necklace, check the price...

Ikea
I live about an hour from my nearest IKEA and so I go once a year with my friends and every time we go, it is an event. It is like Disneyland for me. It is certainly a very unique kind of store. How many store have a showroom with a separate marketplace and warehouse? There are...

Sophias Lingerie & Swimwear
To start off with, this store is not for the faint-hearted...it is not a cheap store, but as a girl with curves and a large bust, it is an absolute dream come true. As any girly girl with a DD (or bigger) chest will tell you, finding pretty bras in our sizes is no easy...

Ardene
I hate the service here. Every time I go in, a teenager's working the cash or the sales floor... they don't seem to hire anyone who cares about their job. They're no help; if you want something, you have to look for it yourself. A lot of their stuff is "out there"...
