I couldn't help but admire all of the interior decor and wished I could make my house look as good as the store! Last year Angie and Amanda were so helpful in helping me special order a very limited and unique jewellery piece. I get compliments on it all of the time. Without their outstanding service, I would not have gotten it! I loved their store so much I wanted to write a blog post on them!

Oh I love the jewelry at Magpie. If I was a person with a larger bank account I would be a regular…read morethere, lol. They carry a lot of unique pieces and many of them are from Canadian designers. They carry the more affordable items of Anne Marie Chagnon, which have an industrial punk vibe (prices start at $30, but do go up to $800) to the pricer Ann Sportun pieces, which feature simple designs with unique twists (prices start at $150 and go up to around $7000). They also make custom designed pieces. I find this location a bit more intimidating than the one at the Rideau Centre, as it's quieter and the number of staff is usually greater than the number of customers, so I feel like they all stare at you as you are looking around, lol. So Ottawa is currently in lockdown at the time of the writing of this review, so they are closed for in-store shopping, but they have a website and you can buy online.

I definitely recommend Magpie! It has a large selection of items across a wide range of prices…read more Items that are affordable but also luxurious items, it offers something for everyone. I have a pair of classic hoops & a few rings that I purchased years ago from the Rideau centre location and they have really held up. Recently I went to the westboro location and had such a great experience with Allison. I purchased a necklace and bracelet and Allison was so helpful, kind and patient through all our questions. They have jewelry from lots of local designers around the Ottawa area it seems! Our items were from an artist Diane Roger who used to work at Magpie and now sells items independently from Arnprior! Always nice to support Canadian/local.

I have been shopping at Magpie for 20+ years, since I was a teenager and I've always loved it…read more This past weekend, I was with my cousin and niece and we happened to be passing by and decided to get permanent bracelets to commemorate my niece's birthday. The whole experience was amazing. The pricing, quality, numerous solid gold chain options, and the service left us so happy. Nawal did all of our bracelets and she was beyond friendly - she seemed like a long lost friend and provided amazing service, especially to my 9 year old niece. I was so happy with the experience that I brought my mom in the next day so she could get some permanent jewellery too. Nawal helped her curate a set of anklets, a bracelet, and a custom necklace with birthstone pendant, all permanent, and all solid gold. My mom and I had so much fun that I bit the bullet and got another piece as well. We've looked around Ottawa for good options for permanent jewellery, but didn't find as many options for solid gold, as we did with Magpie. If you're in the market for permanent jewellery, I highly recommend Magpie. Ask for Nawal! She'll keep you laughing, all while getting a piece of jewellery you'll absolutely love.

Adorit is such a cute and fun little shop. It reminds me a bit of Courage My Love in Kensington…read moreMarket in Toronto. It has that hippie vibe and smells of patchouli. It has vintage items but also new items. Their new items are all ethically sourced/fair trade, most are made of organic materials and the designers are Canadian. The owner, Emma, is very sweet and is so passionate about the items she sells. She introduced me to 2 designers that I totally love now: Smoking Lily, and Rabbit & Empee. OMG, why did I not know about these designers earlier? Their pieces are gorgeous! Most of the clothes in the shop are somewhat quirky with a bohemian vibe to them, some with slight steampunk elements, but there are pieces that look more mainstream too. They also have unique jewelry pieces, hair accessories, belts and purses. Prices run the gamut from less than $1 (vintage jewelry) to over $150 (new clothing). New clothing starts at about $35 for T-shirts and goes up to $100+ for dresses. The shop is small and is in an old converted residential unit in the Byward Market. If you are looking for a cool and unusual piece, Adorit is the place to go! ;)

The vintage selection is small and it's the only part of the store that has men's clothing, but they do manage to have some very unique finds. The new clothing is "environmentally friendly" and it's often made out of recycled clothing material with some really great patterns. The clothing is usually made in Tibet (fair trade) or Canada, including some work by local designers. The clothes are usually quite nice and Bohemian-inspired, although the prices run a bit high sometimes. However, they often have a sales rack and trunk with some great pieces, including my favourite coat that probably gets more compliments than any other article of clothing I own. They also have wonderful accessories and Tibet products.The owner is very nice.
