So Flock Boutique is this cute little shop in my 'hood that sells cool indie Canadian brands and…read morealso Canadian brands that have made it big(ger). They have clothes by Jennifer Glasgow and Miik. They have soaps and body care by Purple Urchin. They also have jewelery by local designers and weird knick knacks like hand puppets of Canadian prime ministers, lol. So funky and weird! This store is more neat, clean and upscale-ish, a la "Yorkville" (Toronto reference) and not like Adorit in the Byward Market (that also carries local and Canadian designs, and some of the same brands, like Miik) which is more, a la "Kensington Market" (sorry, another Toronto reference), but meaning more bohemian and smelling of patchouli. Prices are high, but your getting good quality and supporting the Canadian market.

I will definitely be going back to this trendy boutique soon. I have been looking for a wedding…read moredress (something trendy and artistic and untraditional!) and I found several options here. The great thing about Flock Boutique is that the clothes are made by Canadian designers, the majority of which are women! They try to bring in lots of fashions from Ottawa and Montreal also, to be local. The accessories here are amazing! They have lots of colourful pins and earrings and some great bags! I really had to control myself, or I would have had an empty wallet when I came out. I did see several dress options, but was tight on time, so I couldn't try anything on. One of the girls working in the store patiently showed me several dresses and answered all my questions about the designers and the store. The people who work here clearly know what they are talking about. It is also great that so many of the designs are by Canadian women! For someone who wants to dress artistically, this is the perfect spot to shop.

I get phone calls from people wanting to talk to Simple business ..... I do have a business and it is called J Essence Inc ..... judylink.ca ..... I don't know how this mistake happened, I'm trying to correct it ..... I do see that Simple Business has 'not' claimed there yelp business 'page' that doesn't help matters. Since my phone number is here I thought I'd put my business along with it ..... crazy eh? And my business is on 'Yelp' and I claimed it, hope this makes some sense to some one. A lady called me again today looking for simple business. Thanks for listening and maybe this will get Yelp's attention.

I couldn't help but admire all of the interior decor and wished I could make my house look as good as the store!

Delilah is an independently owned small business in The Glebe. They sell clothing and footwear for…read morewomen. Their prices are quite high (for my budget anyway). Expect to spend at least $100 for a piece here. No bargain basement deals here. Many of their clothes are made in Europe, organic, and/or sustainable, so you pay for these attributes. I like to poke around and see what they have, but truth be told, most of their clothes are not my style, they are too loose fitting bohemian flower child for my tastes, but one of these days I may find something I love, lol. They have cool brands, like Fly London and Taos for footwear. And staff are nice. The store is reminiscent of other small boutiques in tony parts of town (of which The Glebe definitely is, lol), like in Westboro and Wellington West.

Omg what an amazing hidden gem. Had the pleasure of stumbling upon this beautiful store today and I…read morecould not be happier. When you walk in not only is the store immaculate it is so well organized / categorized and color coordinated. It does not look or fe el like a typical consignment store. You walk in and the energy is so positive and uplifting and it's like you are walking into an upscale boutique. I wouldn't be surprised if you walk around with your jaw on the ground with how basically brand new these clothes are but the prices are amazing as well. And on top of that everything was 50% off the ticketed price. The owner is extremely friendly and welcoming I'm sure it won't be long before she gets tired of seeing my face because I just found my new favorite store for 2018.

Joanne's is owned by the same people who own Marianne's in the same mall. Like Marianne's, they…read moresell a lot of Canadian designers and made in Canada pieces. Unlike Marianne's, they don't sell lingerie. Regular prices are not cheap (I'd say about $150+ for dresses, $50+ for tops, $75+ for pants/skirts). However, they often have 50%-80% off sales (and that's when you'll see me in the store, lol). Admittedly, many of their items are frumpy (at least in my opinion), but they have some cool pieces, you just have to look for them. Staff are friendly and nice and their change rooms are beautiful (looks a little like a boudoir). Joanne's is in the Westgate Shopping Centre. Lots of free parking.
