I know they say its not worth it, splurging on clothes for kids as they just grow so damn fast…read moreanyway, but if you have seen the clothing in this store you can see why sometimes it's worth buying quality cause er my gerd everything in this store is so damn adorable! Little Marc Jacobs anyone? If what you aspire for your kids is to be the best dressed tot on the block, a la Rachael Zoe, then this store is your go to fashion haven. I only wish I was about 20 years younger (sigh don't we all), so I could wear this stuff myself. And as I am not up the duff as of yet, I will have to settle on spoiling my little niece. I can deal with that.

This is a wonderful organic baby shop in Newmarket. Its great if buying something special for a…read morefriend, family or for your own baby like I did. When your baby is newborn its so lovely for them to be in the soft organic clothing they have available here at Naturebaby. As well as organic clothing, they also have bedding, furniture, strollers, laundry, toys, books and lovely skincare products. When I came here I wished I could buy everything as its all so beautiful and soft and just so organic.

This shop is "cotton on" bliss. It must be the flagship incorporating men, women & kids fashion,…read moreBody and Rubi shoes. It's the biz. They have bargains galore at the checkout ranging from woolly socks for $5, scarfs for $10, makeup bags $10 and the list goes on and on... I love the canvas charity bags they sell for $2 - I have many! Rubi shoes are decent - women's shoes from $15 (all ripoff fashionable shoes: Rubi stocks) I can't get enough of the kids label: vintage super hero tees, skinny jeans, high-tops, fab beanies ($6 with purchase) and rad gift ideas with their stationery & accessories. Love. Love. Very much. What did we do before "cotton on"??? Haha

I went into so many bag stores when I was planning my trip to Peru. I was doing the Inca Trail so…read moreas well as a good travelling bag I needed a back pack, water bottle, sleeping bag, those quick dry towels that don't take up any space, a pillow, a rain jacket - I pretty much needed everything. I had no idea what kind of brands or styles of things were the best to buy, and I found when I went into large chain stores or big brand stores, the staff there just gave me one item of everything I needed in order to get me to spend a few hundred bucks in their store. Mac Pac Newmarket wasn't like that. In fact, they recommended their back pack, which I ended up buying, and gave me good examples of other places I should get the other things I needed. That made me trust their judgement, and I am glad I did, because my back pack was perfect, and not too expensive. Thanks!

Having decided I had the wrong sized product, having taken it home, staff happily exchanged it no questions asked. Have shopped with them a number of times and will continue to do so. Only problem with this particular branch would arguably be accessible, free parking.

Pocket is like the Newmarket branch of MADE in the city. Both stores are owned by the same people,…read moreso it makes sense. It's kind of off the beaten track, behind Rialto cinemas in that little area on Kent Street that seems to be growing more and more popular by the day. It's standalone and the layout of the store is quite nice. They stock similar things to MADE - notably APC. They also do Karen Walker, Standard Issue, House of Holland eyewear, etc. There's men's and women's clothes and accessories, and as well as new, they stock some vintage. The staff were nice, friendly without being overbearing. I tried on a few things, walked out with a pair of really stonewashed 90s Levi's. I'd say the store fits somewhere inbetween Area 51/Black Box and Fabric in terms of prices and brands. My fashion/shopping expert friends thought I should give the place three stars but I think it's a bit above 60%, and extra points because I bought something. Worth a visit.

Another new discovery of mine and new favourite, I left this store with my wallet a little sore me…read morethinks, but who cares I got such lovely things! This is a brand new store which is part of the new street complex in Newmarket. It's a really lovely place, laid out beautifully and stocks labels such as Status Anxiety, Louis Vuitton, APC and Karen Walker as well as boasting a pretty awesome vintage section! Their prices were really reasonable and that is what I loved so much about this place, they hadn't conformed to the Newmarket trend and overpriced everything. I purchased a lovely leather bag for only $150 which I though was a real bargain, as well as one of Karen Walker's new season key-rings for only $29! The two staff working there was so nice to talk to and I felt really comfortable with them, not looked down upon which is sadly common in upmarket boutiques. I knew instantly that I had found my new favourite shop and I'm probably going to have to go back tomorrow and get those boots....yay!
