116 Cumberland Street in Toronto is the home
Eleven Boutique and the destination Wednesday night for Christelle and I to help Eleven celebrate their first anniversary - they had us at "party"! Right in the heart of Yorkville in a converted Victorian row house lives a treasure trove of Canadian fashion delights and exclusive accessories from around the world. The store is chic, the atmosphere is welcoming and the stock is to die for!
Eleven carries lines from Canadian designers such as
Lundström, Pink Tartan, Obakki and Lucian Matis - it is so nice to see such wonderful Canadian design talent gathered all together in one place!
Christelle had her eye on the top pictured left by
Lundström which comes in several colours while I drooled over the same line's beautiful linen collection - if only they could invent a non-wrinkling linen!
They carry a great mix of styles too from casual to party dresses - I love one stop shopping!
Finally I couldn't take it a minute longer - I needed to see the jewellery!
You know how much I love pretty, sparkly things and I so wasn't disappointed, the accessory selection is impressive including jewellery by Kendra Scott, Shay Lowe, Avant Garde (very edgy looking so it was Christelle's fave), Karen McClintock, Zaya by Avital with some amazing leather pieces and my new favourite, Carla Wax - who created this beautiful flower and bird necklace shown left that I could just not resist buying! I was told that birds would continue to be big for fall so really, I am just getting a head start on my fall shopping!
A return visit with my husband's credit card is most definitely in order!
If you are in the Toronto area or will be in the future, a trip to Eleven needs to be added to your itinerary! Better yet, they want you to join the celebration - today until May 23rd, they are offering 30%-50% off regularly priced merchandise so it's a great time to get yourself to Yorkville and check them out!
