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

3 reviews

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...
Sephora

247 reviews

Sephora has everything from perfumes, hairsprays and special shampoos, to mascaras, foundation and all other types of makeup. My favourite part about Sephora stores are the skincare/beauty sections. You'll find more high-end products here that you wouldn't find at your typical...
Kiehl's

I had an overall good experience here. went to look for a cleanser that could be used with my Sonic Spa brush and the friendly sales associate recommended one for skin brightening. I was hesitant to buy it there and then (the products are kinda pricey!) but she said I could take...
Ma Zone Home Decor

Caveat emptor!! If I could I would rate this horrible place ZERO star. The shopowner's mother was such an annoyance in the shop. This shop was one of the most unwelcoming shops in here. Every shelf has a sign saying "do not touch" or "do not touch - please ask for assistance"...
Marquis Jewellers

An item was priced at $500. I had an old ring that I brought in to trade that they valued at $60. So I gave them the ring and payed the remaining $440 on my debit card. The person I bought it for didn't like it and so I tried to return it. They repeatedly refused to give me $500...
Lululemon

If I were rich, I would spend a fortune in this store, but their prices are high and every now and then I will treat myself. Like yesterday for example, I went into just 'browse' and came out with a black pair of long legged tights and a nice striped mauve and grey colored sweat...

Warehouse One

4 reviews

I always pass by the store. I would sometimes come in and want to buy a nice pair of jeans but they are not on trend, as much as I want to see. Even with their big sales, promotions going on there isn't anything attracting me to buy. I see this brand as low quality and not...
Claire's Accessories

64 reviews

Claires has went downhill immensely. It used to have quality items at an afforable price. Now they sell cheaply made items at a higher cost. Seems they have went a little backwards over the years.
Birks

3 reviews

I had received Birks necklace for my 25 years of service with the company I hd worked for. It was a beautiful heart necklace wit white gold. I had a problem with the clasp and took it into Brks for them to fix it.. Service was great... no problems Love the products and wish I...
Front and Company

2 reviews

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

4 reviews

This used to be my favorite mall in the maritimes but it has really gone down hill the last couple years. There are many vacancies with many stores leaving. I only stop here if I need something at a specific store because it is a waste of time walking around. I hope that with...
Yorkdale Mall

4 reviews

Yorkdale Mall is my most favourite mall to visit in Toronto. Parking used to be a headache but they have added a massive five level underground parking garage which completely eliminated the parking issue. There are red/green indicators on each parking spot to easily let you...
Poa Studio

1 review

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

3 reviews

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

1 review

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.)
LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics

123 reviews

The kingston location is amazing. You can smell the store from a few stores down. I ordered myself products for mothers day online since stores were closed at the time. I was happy with all 8 bath bombs that I used, they smell amazing and leave your skin silky smooth. They also...
Workshop Studio & Boutique

1 review

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

1 review

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...
Victoria's Secret

13 reviews

I absolutely love Victoria's Secret. They have the cutest and sexiest lingerie that is very good material and lasts long. Also, their body sprays and perfume smell so good. The service is good and the sales associates there are very helpful. The only downside is that is can be...
