Yorkdale Mall
Ahhh Yorkdale Mall, a parking nightmare but once
you are inside pure
luxury and shopping tranquility.
If
you are looking to do
some Toronto shopping but don't have the
desire to get off the 401 and come into the city then you should stop
at Yorkdale Mall.
Upscale fashions mixed with

Easily
accessable from the 401 (Dufferin or Yorkdale exits) and the
subway, Yorkdale is one of the best shopping malls in Toronto. It is
also quickly becoming the most upscale of all the Toronto malls.
New store offerings include Tiffany, Micheal Kors and Armani Exchange
are added to old
favourites like Holt Renfrew, Harry Rosen and Coach. Yorkdale will soon
also have a
Burberry store and American Apparel.
Don't be frightened off but these high end stores, there is plenty of
regular mall fare and departement stores only offered in a more
sophisticated setting.

My personal
reasons to shop at Yorkdale are as follows:
Crate and
Barrel - this US import made its first showing in Canada
at Yorkdale mall. I love the modern furnishings, glasswear and frames.
Pottery Barn
Kids
- I know it makes no sense to spend this kind of money on items babies
are just going to grow out of or puke on, but the stuff is just so darn
beautiful. Sometimes you gotta splurge.
Banana
Republic - ok so this location doesn't carry petities but
there is something about the flow of the store at Yorkdale that just
works.
Davids -
Love to drool over the Louboutins in the display.
Sephora
- Makeup galore
Levis
- I have never been a big Levis shopper but I went into the store the
other day and liked what I saw. I will be going back to try on a few
pairs of jeans.
Milestones
- I would often meet my good friend here for dinner and a wander around
the mall. It was an easy place for us both to meet, eat and shop. Love
the spicy thai rollup. Yum.
Remember if you don't want to bother with parking there is always the
valet! Find it near the Holt Renfrew entrance.
