Needed a last-minute dress for an event at the Casa Loma and Cody nailed it with finding me the…read moreperfect dress for the occasion! He was exactly what you would want in a stylist- friendly and accommodating without being the least bit pushy. Let me emphasize my word choice there- he came across as a stylist and not just a sales associate looking to close a sale or upsell you on accessories. It was also my first day in Toronto and so he kindly gave a bunch of local recommendations for good eats! As far as the actual clothing selection, there were so many other cute items that I would've bought if I had the space in my luggage! They had outfits across the spectrum, ranging from casual everyday wear to more fancy/formal wear. It was also mostly organized by color which was helpful. If you have an event coming up or are just looking for a new outfit, this is a great spot!

The most annoying part is how they make you feel like the'yre curating these amazing unique items for you and laughing when you ask who the owner/designers are.

All I can say about this store is that it has beautiful, wearable dresses but not in that Reitman's…read morekind of way. Meg is an individually owned shop and the owner herself designs all the wares. In other words the dresses are high fashion but not trendy - they can be worn from season to season - and they fit all body types from Kate Moss to Kelly Osborne. Oh and about the attitude...oddly there is none. The staff is very relaxed and actually leaves you alone when you claim you're 'just looking.' Whether it's grad season, wedding month, or I just plain want to look good, Meg is at the top of my list when it's time to be a showstopper.

The little sister to Mendocino, M Boutique is the affordable option for those who are looking to be…read moreon trend with cute and pretty everyday. With nothing being over $90 on the most elaborate dresses, most people can afford to buy an outfit without a sale. This particular location is not very big but it has always been clean and well organized. There is usually 3 staff available and I've never seen a bad line up at the cashier even on their super sale days. It doesn't carry all the stock from a bigger mall location. I find this spot more about the cute and pretty than the super casual lounge wear some places stock. I will admit during the summer it can be really warm in here. The lighting to show all the clothes nicely also acts as a heat lamp. Service here is solid... if you ever need help, you can ask and they would be available to help out. They're always cleaning but ready to answer a question or grab a new size. This particular season was all about the light pinks, lacey whites, and cute pastel natural colours. I did find a lot of the white clothing really thin.. like 'you could probably see everything if i wore this' thin. Not a great thing. I also found the cuts on these clothes unusual. For a petite person, none of their small sizes ... the waists and shoulders all sat too low that made me seem like I was trying on my mom's clothes. Another thing I noticed is that they really dont carry XS. They rely on the stretch of the clothes in size small to say 'hey this is fitted but can work for XS'. It's... different. As for pricing, it's super reasonable... we're probably talking the same price as Zara or H&M with a bit nicer cute detailing and less of the insanity of going into those stores. If I could fit into these clothes, I'd find this spot great for a casual trendy wear for a season. Unfortunately, that's not the case for me.

They make you feel like you are never doing enough, they fire people for no reason one being someone was accused one time of stealing and the manager says to me it must of been her because it smelt like curry. Can you believe that? & then fires someone the next day for hanging out with her but said she wasn't doing a good enough job instead. They treat work like w obsessing over petty details. It is not a healthy environment to work in. Also the quality of the clothing is the worst! Everything is hand wash so it will destroy the fabric very easily. Always gossiping in the back office.

They feature the trendiest streetwear and sneakers for sale as well as have curated a variety of local and small businesses (owned by women!) to showcase their products. Moreover, in the same space, they have also collaborated with Mack House, a self-service sneaker customization studio, as well as opened up a space called Goodies (coffee by Patco Café and snacks from Auntie's Supply). I stopped by Makeway on their grand opening day to check out their new store. The store is big, bright, and beautiful! The sneaker wall looks dope and you can see how they have thoughtfully curated many small businesses to show their products. I enjoyed looking at all the things I could purchase as well as the spaciousness of the store. Moreover, you are also able to purchase coffee and snacks from Goodies. Lots of Asian snacks from Auntie's Supply and coffee/beverages are by Patco Café. Along with coffee, there is also matcha and hojicha lattes as well (made to order or bottled)! Overall, great new space for women's streetwear and sneakers. Love that they have partnered with women owned local businesses as well! Do check it out if you are around the area!!

In Fashion has been in business for over 15 years and you have probably never heard of them before…read more The business is predominantly a wholesaler selling directly to wedding and clothing rental businesses and buyers for movie sets. They specialize in all sorts of hats, fascinators, jewelry and beads. The prices are great and probably the best value you'll find in the city. The owner imports his products, and he often adjusts the designs to improve the quality and owns his moulds. However, shipping costs have increased so much that he has to increase the number of days he works. I was there for a fascinator, and there is a TON of variety at such a reasonable price, better than what you may find on Amazon. You can take out the clip and slip on a headband instead if you want. If you're looking for a hat, come here first! I'll probably come back here again if I'm in the look out for a beach hat. A few neighbouring shops have closed during the pandemic. The owner told me he has only one year left on the lease, depending on how sales go this year, he may also decide to leave the business. He does say it in a more positive tone mentioning how sometimes a change/adapting is needed. If you're in the market for some accessories for your event, vacation or even a hat, visit them. You might have to call or message first to let him know you're coming. The doors aren't always open to the public. The owner is super nice and approachable so don't be shy.
