Many of you are probably familiar with a little gem called Trove, located just south of Bloor on Bathurst. Trove is an accessories-haven featuring very unique and worldly jewelry, bags, belts, hats, purses, cards... and I want to highlight the most beautiful Amber creations I have ever seen, straight from Poland.

Trove owners decided to open a sister-shop just across the street called Shoon (760 Bathurst) near the end of '04. I stopped in on Saturday and didn't fall in love as much as I was expecting to- based on my obsession with Trove. A new shipment of shoes should arrive next week, so perhaps hold off to visit until then. However, if the recent pile-up of neige has inspired you to jazz up your winter wardrobe, the boots at Shoon are 50% off.
