Looks like Anthropologie but it's not

Posted on 09:58 by kumar
I admit it: grunge queen DOES buy new on occasion, especially when the look is hot and the deal is screaming.

My latest shopping obsession is The Embellished Room at 2025 Yonge St. in Toronto (416-489-7222, no website).

It sells new clothing, all from France, everything at $29.99 EACH.

Yup, this pretty boho dress with a touch of West Side Story thrown in at the bottom was only $29.99. $29.99! For a cotton dress lined with cotton!

It makes me want to put on my heels, do a twirl and a leg shake, and sing "I want to live in Am-er-ica...."!

The shop carries mostly tops and not a lot of bottoms and for a while was carrying only size Medium, but the day I bought this frock the owner told me they were experimenting with sizes Small through Large.

Some of the looks are very a twenty-something, but there's still heaps for a thirty and forty-something to go ga-ga over.
