With a focus on being feminine, it doesn't fall into the trap of the instagram trendy fashion where you wear it one day and toss the next. I do love how this supports Canadian brands... 200% love it. I spotted Sara Duke, Birds of North America, and even Sloane Tea! They also have non Canadian brands but they're keeping in the same aesthetics and quality. So I find the stitching and fabrics a good step up from anything you'd find in the normal malls. I would say the overall look curated here is casual and relaxed with a pretty spin. So think loose dresses in light prints, flowy blouses, A line tank tops that keeps you cool, and comfy linen pants. Personally my preference didn't quite fit this look but I did enjoy perusing the racks in hopes of finding something. This particular store is not large so I had a hard time finding anything in my size even if I did find clothes that did catch my eye. I do appreciate how everything was nicely organized so I could look around without feeling claustrophobic or lost in a maze of racks. Service here was courteous and prompt. They did welcome everyone who walked in and that was a nice touch. For those who did need help, I could see them actively trying to find a new size or help bring over a new accessories to match the items they were trying. Overall, I'd love to support a Canadian store that offers quality items that are Canadian made. Totally thrilled with the idea. Maybe in another season I could find a casual and yet cute item there.

Thus, I decided I'd make a heroic sacrifice for my fellow yelpers and go in and check it out. The owner Victoria was lovely and happy to chat with me and her store itself is well laid out with a pleasant atmosphere. There was a wide range of attractive clothing for sizes 14+ as well as jewelry and other accessories. I should note here that she's not currently stocking shoes but has pretty much everything else you need to kit yourself out. Also, while I was there I saw at least one happy customer make a number of fine purchases. Hopefully someone who has actually bought something here will come along and give their more experienced review however I was pretty impressed with Gussied Up - if you are a fuller figured lady I recommend coming in and checking it out!

If you are a plus size woman and you haven't been to Gussied Up yet, get in your car NOW!…read more Victoria the owner is an absolute doll! So friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile and a suggestion, without being pushy. I cannot say enough about the clothing. I have yet to leave the store empty handed. I have purchased dresses, tops, a super cute bathing suit, and accessories. And I am always complimented on my outfit when it comes from Gussied Up. I am so happy now that their second location in Vaughan is open, it's much more convenient for me (but that could be dangerous for my bank account) The only negative about the Bathurst location, is that its a little tricky finding parking, but if you persevere, its worth it.

Periwinkle is an awesome little jewellery shop that is located between High Park and Bloor West…read moreVillage. It features a wide selection of jewellery from local designers and a lot of different artwork. I love the Marilyn Monroe paintings that are by the front door, the navy blue and earth-toned floral pillows, and the photographs of Parisian scenes on wood. They also have a few different pieces of clothing and dresses, and a few items for kids.Most of the tables have the designers' business cards available, and most are willing to do custom work if you're inspired. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area or are looking to buy a creative gift. Also, since it's December, if you're going to a christmas party and want some festive earrings, they have a few different pairs of dangly earrings with christmas trees, silver bells and red and green balls. They also have some nice host gifts, like candles, candle holders, ornaments, and decorative kitchen items.

It's almost across the street from the Green Mango restaurant so it's on the East stretch of Bloor West. The store has a great selection of handmade goods from local artists! Everything from recycled shopping totes made from coffee bags, to handmade "dim sum" & "sushi" rings; to pretty gem and pearl necklaces. There is even a cute selection of clothes from local designers. Parking is relatively easy in front of the store. Definitely drop in to check out the stuff!

Most recently, I brought a friend here to look for a dress for her wedding, and she found one that might, funnily enough, trump everything we saw on the Danforth.

Setup is quite nice and the products are on display in a nice organised manner. Apart from the expected Japanese denim they also carry other items like jackets,shoes, bags and accessories. Prices are eye popping in some cases (200$+ bag to carry groceries anyone) but as they say everything is relative, if you are willing to plunk down $$$ for a pair of blues there is someone who is willing to sell it to you. Service was decent and not overbearing which is just right. If you are on the Japanese Chic bandwagon I would say its worth the trek to the west end to check this place out. If you can't trek all the way here they have a very good online store as well.

I was glad because there was a white dress I wanted to buy. I walked in, the saleslady who was sitting on the bench outside RAN after me. I looked around, saw a few pieces then I ask her for MY size. Her reply was: 1....thousand...2hundred... [ VERY SLOWLY] I wanted to introduce her face to my palm. But I contained myself. I'm NEVER going back there, I go downtown instead. People think there's no racism in Canada! She thought because I'm non-white; I couldn't afford it. We'll see how long this place will stay open as many stores are closing in the area.!
