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.

Once Upon A Child
I shop here occasionally, and their clothing is always the best quality you can get for being second hand. No stains or damage, and they always have a great selection of accessories, gear and toys! It's slightly difficult to shop if you bring your children as the isles are...

Donna Dressler Jewelery
The place is called "Donna Dressler Jewelery" but really, it's so much more! From Alex & Ani jewelery (A Rhode Island fav!) to Vera Bradley, to Stonewall Kitchen, they have a huge variety of things & excellent customer service! Their kids section is amazing, as a mommy to a new...

Velvet Underground Hair
Waw, if there is one thing i can say about this Beauty Salon is they know there stuff, walk the walk and live on the flipside. You always get what you want as long as you ask and all the staff are very kind and considerate. You can tell that the girls are non judgemental and you...

Kiehl's
After reading some raves about Kiehl's both here on on Make Up Alley, I decided to see if I could get my hands on some of their products, here in Calgary. Imagine my glee to find that Holt Renfrew has a Kiehl's coutner. I headed right over that very noon hour! I have been...

Te Koop
I adore Te Koop on Queen St West in Toronto (closest intersection is Spadina). They have such a fantastic selection of bags, glasses, and accessories, mainly from Japan! I never leave empty handed! I find a lot of it to be one of a kind and very hip and trendy! And the...

Girl Friday - Queen Street
I love that they remember you! I only shop here for Dish Denim, they fit great! Sign-up online to be in the know for special discount nights. Prices go from reasonable to a little pricey, but love the fact that they carry Canadian designers. First place I go when I need a...

Lululemon Athletica
Lululemon offers complementary yoga classes on sunday morning at all store locations (if I'm not mistaken). I highly recommend anyone and everyone to take a class! Go with a friend or escape on your own, I kid you not you won't regret it, plus it's free of charge!...

Great store!! I bought a lot of clothes here. I'm glad they now have an Oakville location since I'm closer to that now.

Build A Bear
I have to say I love this store. The staff are so friendly every time we enter the store. They treat my children like they are people too. I look for that in a store because it's all about them in a place like that. My children picked the stuffed animal they wanted to...

A Changing Nest
This is such a gorgeous store. Recently opened by long time Bloor West Village residents, Diana Ross and her husband Gord, it is a carefully curated consignment furniture shop. Items are timeless and in impeccable condition. The prices are within reason. What's funny is...

The bras at this place a spectacular!! There is almost always a sale on, and they have the most adorable fabrics they use and little details that make the bras sooo cute. Besides the cuteness factor, they are super comfortable (particurly the hannah bra), have a great fit (which...

Winners Apparel Ltd
Winners is one of my fav. stores to browse and shop. Because I buy for my 17yr old plus size daughter and for myself being thin and petite. Both our styles and sizes are avalible on a regular basis even though both of use are hard to dress. She loves the Junior plus section...

Natalie-Roze &Co;
I went to this cute little boutique for the first time a few months back and then I also attended a clothing swap by them where I won a door prize- yay! So, the other day, I went to the store to check out some merch and I picked up an adorable little wishbone pendant necklace...

Mac Cosmetics
Ladies night, Vancouver 2011. Had a blast at the MAC store on Robson Street. 3 of us went in without an appointment and all three of us had mini makeovers that turned into mega makeovers. The sales people were all so nice and accomodating. No up selling at all. These were...

Gadabout Vintage Clothing
This place probably has the best selection of vintage in Toronto. The pieces are on the pricey side, depending on the item you'll pay anywhere from 60-200 or a bit more. However, the pieces are really amazing quality- you can tell that they have been hand picked and are...

Michael Kors - 131 Bloor St W
I visited the new flagship Michael Kors store as part of a media event just before it opened its doors to the public. The clean, brightly lit space made the handbags, shoes, accessories, and women's ready-to-wear selections a smorgasbord for the eyes (I'm rather a big...

Original 515 Queen West
This store opened two years ago on Queen St West. around the time I was looking for my prom dress. I was there the week after it opened and had an absolutely amazing experience. The girl working there had no trouble helping me find a dress that I liked, despite the seemingly...

Dynamite
I am so impressed with the customer service at the Kelowna Dynamite Store. I took a few items into the change room. One item was a floral printed tee. The sales associate working the change room suggested another tee based on the fit of the one I brought in and wouldn't you...

Rogers Wireless
Thanks guys at the Eatons Centre Kiosk for taking time to sync all my information into my newly upgraded blackberry. I would have spent hours just trying to understand how to follow the directions, and they made it so simple!!
