So it’s well established by now that I don’t do malls or shops very well at all.
The One of A Kind Show and Sale is on this weekend in Toronto.
The second part of my online guide focuses on boutiques that carry an assortment of brands. So here we go,
Online Shopping is where I live. Not only do actual shops give me anxiety, but I can shop whenever I want, in PJs, and all over the world. My favorite is definitely Australian boho shopping, so that’s a lot of what you’ll find here. But it’s not just that.
If you’ve been here a while, you know I don’t like shopping in person. Malls, and even boutiques give me a big bout of anxiety. I don’t like the pressure of the salesperson, and I really, really like to mull things over. But even I do indeed get my butt in a boutique once in a while. So here’s a list of some of my faves – no holds barred, totally honest.
Saks opened in Canada. I was invited to the launch of their shop in Vaughan.
I saw this in the paper as an encouragement to shop Canadian – to shop our local and native companies. And I’d love to but frankly look at those prices! The cheapest coat there is $450. That’s more than I spent on my last two winter coats combined, and the only reason I spent even that much was because one coat was stolen and so I had to go get another one. That’s the one beef I have about local and native businesses, as much as I’d love to support them the price tag is just way out of my reach. I know it’s because of fair wages, etc, etc. But there has to be some way to keep the prices more in check. I know some people can afford to spend that much, but I not only can’t, I also won’t. To me it’s just too much to drop on one item. But that’s me.
How much would you spend on a coat? How much have you ever spent on a coat and would you change that? I’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions.
