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.

Body Blue ~ The Danforth
Love this store. Great place to find designer jeans and get expert help on finding the right style. They have two locations. 1 on the Danforth and the other on Queen W. Be prepared to spend about $200 - $300. It sounds like a lot but when you find a really perfect pair of...

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...

Ma Zone Home Decor
63 Jarvis Street 416-868-0330 Alex introduced me to this place. They have an assortment of funky furniture and home decor pieces that are great for decorating or picking up a house warming gift. He bought me the Moments, night champagne scented candle, which supposedly uses...

Marquis Jewellers
I recently had a family heirloom ring resized there. Service was quick (it was done that afternoon) and the diamonds have never looked this sparkly. I actually wondered if it was the same ring (or if the stones had been replaced with sparkly CZs!!!). The location is deceptive...

Lululemon
The Lululemon trend is crazy where I live, especially for the sweaters, pants, headbands, and capris!!!! While I agree that the clothes are great for going to the gym and working out, there are kids wearing it for casual wear and teenagers too. I don't think I would spend $100...

This is a great little store for house and garden stuff... lots of unique things at a great price!

Warehouse One
If you are looking for fairly cheap jeans then this is the place for you. I used to shop here throughout my high school life. I would have to say it's more of a younger-crowd facility, which is probably why I have stopped shopping here. The shirts mostly have sayings on them...

Claire's Accessories
This store's alright. They have cute products, but it's never a pleasant shopping experience for me. The store here in Fredericton is so small, and crammed full of things - it's hard to maneuver around. It's horrible! I would recommend it for the products, and the great prices -...

Birks
Birks is a great store to go to if you want really high end jewelry. The quality is excellent and they have a really nice selection that can appeal to all ages. They have amazing diamonds and the craftsmanship is excellent. They also have cute baby and children jewelry. Good...

Front and Company
Front & Co. is one of my fave stores cause you never know what you might find. It's also a very well-organized consignment store. They are pretty picky about what stock they take, so you'll find really great stuff. It's a cute mix of old and new. They have lots of new sample...

Mic Mac Mall
The friendly staff, the awesome merchandise and cool athmosphere made it a great shopping experience.

Yorkdale Mall
I've been shopping at this mall for years and absolutely love the selection of stores, the cleanliness of the mall and you can always find a parking spot i love the fact how accessible it is just off the 401

Poa Studio
This by appointment only boutique is one of Toronto's best kept secrets. Fun and fabulous owner, Catherine carries designer fashions from all over the world, primarily Montreal, Germany, Paris and Brazil. This boutique is for the fashionable executive whose time is precious...

Ulta
The service is terrible at the Ulta near me, and the selection is poor. However, they are the only store that carries Bare Escentuals within an hour of my house, so by default- it is a keeper!

Shops at Friendly Center
Good selection of stores, particularly when combined with the existing (older) section to the east. Very little for menswear, however, but a great variety of items for women, children and other interests (incl. Pier 1, Barnes & Noble, etc.)

Workshop Studio & Boutique
This is a really cool place if you want something unique and fun, wheather it be jewlery, a new bag, shirt, coin purse, or whatever. They offer many different styles from many artists. I think the youngest artist that they sell is a 17 year old girl. My two favourite...

Hill Street Blues
We just checked this place out because some friends recommended it. It's quite a drive up to Thornhill but they always have buy 1 get 1 1/2 off on all designer jeans. They have decent selection (7's, Guess, Rock & Republick, Mavi, etc) but I didn't find anything I liked. I...

La Senza Spirit
Although I do like the design of the clothes at La Senza Spirit, I think the quality really varies with each piece of clothing. I don't think that the quality is comparable to Lululemon. Although, yes it is waaayy cheaper than Lulu. They do have really nice styles of workout...
