ST. LAWRENCE MARKET VINTAGE FINDS

As I prepare to relocate to sunny Los Angeles, I find myself really appreciating all that Toronto has to offer. 

And by 'offer' I, of course, mean 'spend money on'.

St. Lawrence Market area is the best place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.  Brunch at Le Petit Dejeuner,  coffee at Lettieri, and of course the Vintage shopping  at the market.

The last time I peeked my head in was on a Thursday afternoon (that way I can preview before the weekend crowds), and I spotted quite a few gems.

 Including a Todd Oldham faux fur jacket for %50 off. An insanely "80's" (in a good way)  fitted peplum leather jacket for $25, and Seven for all Mankind jeans (size 28) for $35! 

Now is the time to hit up the vintage shops for cashmere and jackets, everyone's thinking ahead to spring, and we'll all be ready to set the trends for next fall.

DO IT. LOVE IT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A STAR, BABY...

Every now and then I fall in love with a fantasy item that does not logically fit anywhere into my world.  This OTT white faux fur from Rihanna's new video put me under a spell. 

I was beyond thrilled when I spotted this vintage look-a-like at Antiques of St. Lawrence! (92 Front  St. East)

I held my breath, closed my eyes and searched for the yellow tag...75.00$. Love it.

 Now all I need is a recording contract and a time machine.

STARBUCKS ADJACENT

It's a sleepy Sunday morning and you need a pick-me-up. 
If I told you that a comfortable cafe with great coffee,
gorgeous friendly staff,
beautiful contemporary art, (http://www.rowenasart.com/
tables outside,
vip in the back corner,
and Dufflet pastries existed,
would you believe me?

Well, Lettieri on Front is all that and more. The people watching is incredible!  The St. Lawrence Market area is surprisingly crawling with a full range of fashionistas (and a few fashion don'ts).  Lettieri is stylish AND family friendly, often a hard combination to find.

ANTIQUES AT THE ST. LAWRENCE

Please, please, please, drag yourself out of bed on a Sunday morning and check out the vintage finds at the St. Lawrence Market.  My girl who runs the store on the southwest corner, is passionate about finding good homes for her amazing finds.  I live in my vintage raybans and this red chain strap, quilted leather purse!

I know she has a couple of raybans stowed away in the back for $75 each. Get em' before they disappear.
