It's not a thrift shop, but last week when Parkdale Village store Shop Girls was celebrating its third B-day, I popped in to take a gander.
Owned and curated by Michelle Germain, the shop specializes in work by up-and-coming Canadian artists and manufacturers.
There's everything from jewellery and scarves to hats, clothing, and, very lately, home decor accents. The place is also known for its extensive selection of YOGA JEANS, and let me tell you, almost every gal in the place musta walked out with a pair (or at least them on) that night. (They're stretchy and comfy and don't lose their shape and look absolutely fab on).
I fell in love with these bib style neck pieces - made with buttons!
Keys coated in resin - neat idea huh?
There are rings too.
I'm a gal on a budget, as you know, so I limited my purchases (maybe I'll get some Christmas money to go back for the YOGA JEANS?).
But this wrist warmer (made by artists in Ottawa, my hometown!) was just too cool, and under $20. Kinda artsy-boho meets steampunk chic.
I bought only one, to wear as an accessory, though now that the deep freeze has hit Toronto I kinda wish I'd bought one for the other wrist!
