Sunsets after 7PM, tree buds are out, warmer days surround us – Spring is here! Well…officially in a week…but you get it! 🌸
Spring symbolizes a time of change – from cold to warm, from nature’s browns and greys to whites and pinks, from ice skating days to strolls in the local park. Excitingly, this transformation applies to fashion as well. Our wardrobes change from cooler to warmer tones, from parkas and boots to sundresses and sandals. As we welcome this new season, we embrace its lightness and warmth, and a fun way to do it is by transforming, or rather, updating our wardrobe. Were you looking for an excuse to get that new beach shirt and khaki shorts? Were you waiting for the right time to get that floral midi dress and the perfect sandals to pair with it? Well! Here’s your sign to get them! ✨
Guess what! You can get it all, right here in Bloor West Village! Here are a few shops to explore!
