First up was lunch at what is quickly becoming my favourite café in the city: Little Bird Patisserie. My good friend, Abbie introduced me to this lovely spot and it has quickly become my favourite corner for quietly working on my cyber while enjoying a fantastic coffee. Also macaroons. Need I say more?

Next up was Kyla's pick, Two Fifty Two Boutique. Neither of us had any expectations, but we both left very impressed: awesome customer service and a great selection of some of my favourite brands.

I left with a pair of Frame jeans- I have heard really great things about them and didn't want to take them off once I had them on. Also, my entire outfit felt like pajamas, so that's when you know you've found a winner.

I also went home with a cozy kinda bell-sleeved Vince shirt and I'm quite certain this is going to be my everyday uniform. Definitely check out TwoFiftyTwo if you are ever in the University Heights neighbourhood...you should see the Kate Spade bag collection!

Last local shop shoutout goes to something my sister found and had made for Mom and I by Earth Sisters Jewelry & Art. It's a pendant made out of our Grandma's china. Swoon.

Linking up with the lovely ladies over on the Blended Blog today. Share your fashion posts with us!

ReplyDeleteBuying local is always awesome. Jeans that fit like pajamas?! Wowza! And I loooooove the pendant.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting necklace. So unique and pretty = totally Deena!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun. Sigh, I miss my sister. :(
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for the necklace!!!! I am for sure going to check that out. I would also love to go support Mackenzie at TFT, she is an inspirational lady who comes from a wonderful family, but maybe I need to wait until I have some bday $ or something. What are you doing now that you are done in the classroom?
Great choices. I hope you bought the pendant to....
ReplyDeleteBell sleeve anything is my fave. Love the top!

ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful gift... And it's gorgeous! I'm all about supporting local business as well!
ReplyDeleteI love shopping local. My son goes to school in a town about 20 minutes away from us and they have the cutest downtown with adorable shops. I visit them at least once a month. You know? Do my part to help local business thrive.
ReplyDeleteLovely places and such great finds! I also love shopping local and I'm so thrilled every time I discover a new cafe or boutique in town! xo

ReplyDeleteDefinitely happy with my purchases!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely the neatest thing I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I purchased some tickets to get back to bootcamp or spin once a week. When I go I love it, but I just find working out at home or running is a bit easier to fit into my day. I am glad you are enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteI love going into local shops like that. And that necklace is amazing and certainly something to treasure.
