Frou Frou

 In a bit of a rush a travel bag was needed when heading back home to Kingston, Ontario for a couple of days. Rushing off to one of the closest and most reasonable priced stores in the area on Queen West between Parkdale and Roncessvalles, Frou Frou was the first store that came to mind. 
After talking to  the fabulous and extremely nice owner about the situation he pulled out the most perfectly cute and appropriately sized purse. It can hold  two days worth of clothes and it's from the 1960's. It was purchased at an extremely great price of 15$.
 If you have the time this is a vintage store so worth checking out. They have hats, dresses, coats, and purses all squeezed into a rather small space. There is always something to find at Frou Frou and its one of our favourites!

Bungalow West

Located in Kensington Market where there is always something to find, Bungalow and Bungalow West were both stores that left us a bit disappointed. Although our good friend Kayla Heath did find a fantastic sweater/cardigan, it was a bit of a search and hassle. First at Bungalow, a rather large store with a decent selection, was way over priced. Then across the street to Bungalow West the prices were much more reasonable and it actually had vintage clothing section. Overall these stores aren't necessarily fantastic but you may end up being lucky like our friend and have the possibility of stumbling upon something cute.
