Grunge Queen does Yorkville

Posted on 07:31 by kumar
For Grunge Queen purchases, there's cash.

For Yorkville buys, there's my credit card.

My pal Andrea and I are pretty happy here, as you can see. Last night before the opening of the Yorkville Anthropologie store in Toronto, we popped into the charming www.kumaris.ca boutique, where there was an astonishing sale on their cashmere sweaters, wool scarves and other pieces: BUY 1 GET 2 FREE!

Once we could think clearly we decided to split the sale. Andrea bought one cashmere cardigan for $76 and change, regularly $195.


Meanwhile I bought a cashmere sweater and a gorgeous Indian scarf, each priced at $195.

The bill could have been almost $500, but with the 3 for 1 I paid $146 including taxes.

I just looove this gorgeous wool scarf made in India with all the boho embellishments - rather Anthro, come to think of it.

More to come on the Anthro visit and how we attempted to make our own statement piece necklaces using vintage beads and whatnot - truly funny!

For now it's the long weekend in Canada, and I'm off to the beach!! Have a good one!
