Today was unseasonably warm...oh, I’m sooo not complaining! I enjoyed every minute of the delightful weather by hanging with one of my besties grabbing lunch and doing a little window shopping.
We wandered down Queen and Bathurst and found a barrage of quirky clothing shops. We are both girly girls and adore wearing dresses, so we ran into one of the stores that seemed to have our name written all over it.
Fresh Collective
Fresh Collective is a designer run boutique. They display the work of local designers who create unique pieces for the person with anything but boring fashion sense.
We were greeted by probably one of the friendliest people on earth—soo refreshing. She told us about the designers that created the items for the boutique and encouraged us to take our time and take a look. She didn’t pressure us at all, so we were able to spend a looong time in the shop playing dress up!
I fell in love with the dresses, but I really, really wanted one of Yasmine Louis’ t-shirts. They are beyond cool. She is an artist that takes pics around Toronto, makes silk screens and prints the images on t-shirts, pillows, and other clothing items.
It wasn’t necessarily what the t-shirt looked like that got me; it was what was written on the t-shirts. Whatever Yasmine is thinking is inevitably written on the t-shirt. It’s like her own stream of consciousness captured on a t-shirt. I looove it!
We didn’t get a chance to buy anything this time around, so we’re already planning our next trip in the very near future. Check it out if you can!
