I'd shopped at Giordano in Hong Kong numerous times, so I was excited when I found out that we'd be…read moregetting a store in the GTA. I visited after the initial hype died down a bit. The store is fairly small on the upper floor by the main set of escalators. We were greeted soon after entering the store and told of the current promotions. There is women's, men's, and children's clothing. I only checked the price for a few items, and it was on the pricey side.

I came in today to help a friend with finding her prom dress (I've already found mine). Though we…read moredidn't find THE dress, it's a good store to consider when looking for prom dresses. The lady working there was very nice, she let us look on our own and was always there to help you clip up your dress if you needed to which is especially nice since some boutiques have the workers breathing down your neck. The place is really clean, you have to leave your shoes at the door and there's a little basket of slippers underneath one of the chairs for you to use. The dresses were organized by colours and length (long and short) and she told us not to worry too much about colour because these dresses will come in other colours if you order it. Now the dresses itself in my opinion are okay. The styles were nice and ranged around 500$ which is standard for those types of dresses and especially the brands. I dont want to say that they were outdated cause they're not really but if you're looking for instagram pinterest glimmering bodycons or a great elie saab rose ball gown this isnt it I attached some photos of dresses i tried on for fun

My daughter and I were in search of a prom dress. I know from past experiences that in order to…read moresave time and disappointment that I should just go to the Dress Diva. We showed up this evening(not my first time) and score.... four dresses later we found the dress of her dreams. Sinead the shop owner is so helpful and she knows her stock and her clients. She knows what is in style and what looks good on each person. I must say, stop wasting time driving around looking. Get your dress here!! This lovely shop has all kinds of accessories from earrings to necklaces. Purses and other goodies. I highly recommend this shop to anyone shopping for grad dresses, prom dresses, cruise wear, weddings or any other special occasions.

I really loved this shop!…read more The store is large and very deep, and it's filled to the brim with women's fashion accessories - primarily scarves, hair accessories of every sort and jewelry. Seriously, though, their selection of scarves and hair clips and headbands and scrunchies and hair ties is out of this world. And their prices are super reasonable. My friend and I each got a gorgeous scarf (they have lots of sales where, if you purchase 2 items, the price per item is less than if you just purchased one). The jewelry selection is also huge, but everything was dainty and Uber-feminine. (I prefer bolder and more modern jewelry, so none of the earrings or rings really appealed to me. But I can see, if one likes more delicate jewelry, there'd be lots here that you'd like). They also had some nice wallets and totes and handbags. (As a side note, I can't help but marvel at the poor reviews here with people complaining about their jewelry breaking or turning thier ears black. When you spend $10 or so on jewelry, don't expect Tiffany quality lol).

It's basically like a boutique version of stores like Ardene or Claires. Cheaper jewelry and…read moreaccessories. It's a huge store and they have an assortment of things to purchase. Personally, I don't think the quality was great at all. It matches the quality of items purchased from AliExpress where it's cheap, looks fine, but really won't last. I got a small crossbody purse here for casual wear, and within two weeks, the coating on the bag was peeling off. The jewelry is terrible quality to be honest. Great for one time costume use but otherwise, I wouldn't suggest spending your money on them. Service is also disappointing. Every time I wandered in, there was a customer trying to return or exchange a product that turned bad or proved to be poor quality. And instead of it being a simple "Of course, let me help you with this", it was a long conversation where the staff would get a bit defensive or do the "I need to call someone" thing. It just gives you the feeling that you should shop like it's all final sale.. I'm not really sure if there's a return/exchange policy though. Really, I wouldn't recommend shopping here if you need quality jewelry. You're not going to get good quality jewelry or accessories. If you ordered cheap ones off AliExpress or something, you'll probably receive the same quality. Some pieces look nice initially, but I guarantee you'll wish you'd have saved the money and invested in a genuinely nicer quality piece elsewhere. There's so many great jewelry/ accessories stores that are affordable and stand behind their product. Or shop on Etsy for hand made jewelry!

The store is small and compact compares to other Saks Off 5th I had been to. Selection obviously is smaller but at least everything is well organized and stocked. Price wise always best during end of seasons sale. I would not be buying anything till then. I am not even comparing to the US pricing.

So yeah, just how much do you like your Japanese toys, and how much do you really want to pay for…read moreit? And is it really Japanese that you are looking for? It'll depend on your upbringing. I grew up amongst the Sogo 崇光, Mitsukoshi (三越), Yaohan (八佰伴), AEON and Seibu (西武) and had access to some really quality Japanese toys of the Showa (昭和) period. Did I grew up in Japan? No, I grew up in Hong Kong, and all I really wanted back then was a decent diecast KMB bus, the one that ran outside my childhood home on Jordan Road. I might've looked at all the Tomicas and Gundams, but none of those things really captured my imagination. That's why my parents bought me Legos instead. Fast forward to today. See, when your $dayjob have you run IT operations for a mid-sized company, you need a hobby that would help you majorly de-stress. For me, that implies building model kits, Lego sets, or travel. Oh, even better if it helps you remember your Hong Kong roots. I might run my plarail train sets, but those are MTR Plarail sets exclusive to HK. It also helps to have a wife who are understanding of your stress shedding hobby (she also love Re-ments). On the way to Toronto we made a stop in Mitsuwa (the US successor to Yaohan) in New Jersey and picked up a few Re-ments and F-Toys trade models before heading north. Me and the missus were driving around Markham looking at the mostly mediocre Chinese malls out there (seriously, how many travel agencies, herbal shops, restaurants, cellphone stores and "Korean" clothing stores do you really need?) during the snowstorm 2 weeks ago, and we came across Langham square, which is this kinda-premium shopping mall complete with free indoor parking (my wife loved that) and a T&T Supermarket, which was in total contrast to the other malls like Splendid China Tower (totally misnamed), which didn't even bother to shovel their parking lot. Maybe the name references the large snow bank walling up their parking lot on Steeles Street East. So why are local Chinese owned malls so keen to crib names from their more famous Hong Kong equivalents? Langham square was named after Langham place, which is this kinda-stylish vertical shopping mall that was located in the heart of Kowloon (fun fact: it was built by Hong Kong's infamous Urban Renewal Authority in an attempt to kill off the nearby Portland street red light district and gentrify the area - totally didn't work). This one was slightly different in that the area features some rather nice premium condos nearby (so if you came from the transit-shopping-podium-condo tower indoor complexes of Hong Kong's upper middle class, man, is this home-like to you). The mall features some of the same we saw all over Markham, while other stuff just seem like it can only exist here at this mall. A tax attorney. An IT consultant. The Markham equivalent of BlueRibbon (pre-prepped meals aiming towards a Cantonese palate). A maid agency. A social club. This seems a little more tailored towards the Crazy Asian Rich. And then my wife pointed out an anime store - those are a dime a dozen, probably selling some fake Pokemon merch painted in garish colors straight from Shenzhen. "Babe, this one is carrying TinyHK merchandise". WAIT, WHAT? So there are only 1 other place that I am aware that would sell you TinyHK diecast cars and models. It belongs to a shop that sells Airsoft guns located on the 2nd floor of Pacific Mall's "Culture walk" (or as I call it, Stereotype Central). I already bought an F-Toys model from them, and I was a bit put off by the owner's non-existent customer service skills. "Hi, may I help you?" Whoa. Is that the TinyHK mushroom hawker center model? And the price isn't too overly ridiculous (Canadian dollars, taxes included). See, I order TinyHK merch directly from HK, but the shipping is fairly atrocious. This store will sell me Tomicas and TinyHK diecast vehicles for a few bucks. "Hey, here's our card. If you order more than 100 USD we'll ship it stateside for free". Score and paydirt. So yeah, the quick and the easy - its a small storefront that is part-time staffed, they carry Tomicas, Re-ments and are an authorized TinyHK retailer. They also sell some other figurines, plushies and toys straight from Japan (so you won't see the same BS as all the other anime stores in Markham). Decent selection, pricing isn't too bad, and if you are a Honkie nerd (like me) you'll pretty much know what you're looking at and how much you want to buy. Definitely a stopover if you collect TinyHK or want that piece of collective memory from Hong Kong in your home. Seriously, they should just call this place "Yaohan". Us old school Honkies will totally get that.
