A fabulous affair.

Unlike some people we do not take going to the opera lightly. While other people attend in jeans and a tshirt we try our very best to look as amazing as possible. 
This beautiful and elegant dress was found at Exile in Kensington Market for a low price of 30.00. The dress was designed by Ursula in 1981, a Switzerland dress company. 
The piece that helps brings the outfit all together is a waist belt from the King of Kensington, one of our favourite stores. This black belt has a large gold circular piece that is tasteful and not over powering and only bought at a price of 10.00 . 
All that is needed is a bit of jewelry and a hat then this outfit will be complete, if you have any suggestions just leave us a comment :)

Welcome to The Cabaret

One of Toronto's number one Vintage stores, the Cabaret, is locatedon Queen street West. Probably one of Toronto's more famed vintage stores, it never fails to please and always has the best quality vintage in town.

The atmosphere at the Cabaret is really what makes it unique. The minute you step into the store and off of Queen West, you feel as if you've stepped back in time to a very classy store.

The Cabaret's specialty without doubt is formal and semi-formal dress. They cater to both men and women with everything from tailcoats and spats for your men to glamorous evening wear for every woman.

The one downfall to the Cabaret is the prices. Though their selection is worth every penny of the price (dresses are usually a few hundred) it's not something a starving artist or university student could ever afford.

Luckily, the Cabaret also has a gorgeous assortment of jewelry, hats and accessories for both men and women. Though none of it is cheap either, a student might be able to stretch their OSAP money to cover a nice necklace or a pair of gloves and be greatly rewarded by the feeling of wearing something so high end.

The staff at the Cabaret are also a big help, so if you're not sure what you're looking for, need help finding the perfect necklace for your dress or even just want to hear a bit about the store, feel free to ask.

Overall, the Cabaret has earned it's reputation as one of Toronto's best, and although the prices can be a little disappointing (even depressing) to us poor kids, if you ever buy something from there, you will learn that it's well worth every penny.
