Last Friday I ventured my way down to the Better Living Centre @ the Ex to check out The Clothing Show. I hadn't really expected to go crazy on the shopping, but had put aside a small budget for spending.
Walking into a large open space with what seemed like a gagillion booths, I was overwhelmed with the abundance of choice. I found that although this is called the Clothing Show, there seemed to be much more jewelry and accessory vendors then there were clothing.
I didn't find anything for my summer wardrobe but managed to buy a purse ($40) and a bangle ($10) from SooS Rocks Accessories for just $50.
I also found a pair of REALLY nice Christian Dior, unworn, vintage sunglasses. They were only $120, but were also regretfully out of my budget. These Dior's were from a vendor that sold specifically vintage frames. They do not have any stores in Toronto, but have one in Montreal and New York (I have emailed him for the addresses and names of their store locations, will post when I receive them).
Other notable finds:
CHULA - a great jewelry line with affordable prices, original, and beautiful pieces
tryst - a unique vintage inspired jewelry line
Melissa Beth Designs - really cool laptop cases

The clothing show looked really cool! Wish I could have been there! If you are looking to score designer goods at discount prices, you should check out hautelook.com. It's an online sample sale site that host sales by various contemporary designers. I'm really excited about the 65% off Diane Von Furstenburg sale they are having tomorrow. You should check it our, and tell me what you think.
Great site great fashion, I really got into collecting vintage sunglasses!
