Jonathan+Olivia

As far as Toronto shopping goes, Jonathan+Olivia is about as vital to Toronto's fashion retail experience as rice is in a sushi restaurant. But please, really! Before you close this internet browser tab to avoid witnessing any more embarrassing ways to use the English language, do excuse my poor excuse of an analogy, and I'll do my best to minimize your regret.

So this store is right up your alley if you're a Nomad fan, except they have womenswear too. A lot of womanswear, far more than menswear in fact.

Labels, labels, what can you expect here. Soooo many! :) ...stuff from Engineered Garments, A.P.C., Acne, Alexander Wang, Band of Outsiders, Oliver Spencer, CDG, Our Legacy, Surface To Air, Robert Geller, and a few G.H. Bass Weejuns and Red Wings in shop as well.

You can also expect to fine all sorts of lovely fashion magazines like Acne Paper or i-D Magazine, along with an extensive selection of grooming products from Malin+Goetz.

And Topshop. Canada's one and only Topshop boutique. Yes, there's a Topshop boutique in Jonathan + Olivia!! No Topman unfortunately. But you ladies really do have it all. A whole large section of Topshop Limited pieces.

I should also mention that they might have THE friendliest staff in Toronto. Lovely smiling people that want to just have a conversation with you. My mom was complaining about how hot she was in there, and the lady there just started a friendly conversation explaining how it's really cold in the morning but all the sunlight coming through the windows really heats up the place throughout the day. They're so awesome, and approachable!

There's also a sale going on right now! All the beach shorts are $100. A bunch of stuff is 60% off.

Stop by there. Definitely! It's one of my favourite places in the world. Jonathan+Olivia.
