A store that stole my heart

On another unnecessary shopping trip of mine, I stumbled upon a new store (well new location at least) called Durumi & Chocolate Shoes that is one of the cutest little Queen West shops I've seen in a while! They have an adorably eclectic selection of shoes, apparel and accessories that are a perfect combination of fun, artistic and unique. The apparel all incorporates various prints, fabrics and textures and puts a darling twist on ordinary pieces. The accessories are one-of-a-kind (I think, don't quote me on that!) and feature everything from fabric earrings to the cutest pocket-watch-necklaces you've ever seen (including one with an Audrey Hepburn print case and one in the shape of a robot!) and even one of my personal favourite new trends- shoe clips! As far as the chocolate shoes part of the store goes, they perfectly compliment the style and tone of the apparel and accessories and have a plethora of sweet ballerina flats, sassy heels and everything inbetween, all with unique twists on your favourite basics in colours that look good enough to eat. Incase you haven't picked up on it, I completely fell for this store's charm! Definitely a must-see store for anyone who is visiting or lives in Toronto (located at Queen and Spadina)!


What I bought:

Skinny belt with bow- $21

 
Lipstick pen- $2



Sweater dress with ruffle detail- originally $79, on sale for $19
Ruffle detail close-up
May need to go back for one of those watch-necklaces...
