Lileo, Toronto's "It" lifestyle store turned two this weekend. If you haven't been to this store, it is a treat that you cannot miss. Located in the historic Distillery area, Lileo is 7000 square feet of delectable delights to appease all senses.

When it comes to the idea of a lifestyle store, the founders, Syd Beder and Alexandra Morgan are the best at this game. They were the ones responsible for bringing uber yoga line, Lululemon to the city. When the opportunity arose for them to open a retail outlet that encompassed all of their beliefs, they jumped at the opportunity.

The store is large and open concept, with all the original wood beams and brick. The large glass doors allow for a lot of natural light to flow into the space. The merchandise emphasizes the store's credo "Love Life Style" where trendy comfort gear co-exist happily with high-end fashion. The store also carries skincare products, accessories and novelty coffee table books plus magazines which are cutting edge of contemporary literary works. It's the type of store where you really want to take your time and browse through everything.

If you need to take a break, the in-store cafe Livia is just the thing to refuel up. They don't just offer great beverages but food as well.

The birthday celebrations started yesterday with a bang. People were constantly streaming through the store while listening to the sultry sounds of Jodi King perform live. The store is offering 80% off on all their winter gear, to thank the people of Toronto for supporting them for the past two years. The sale continues today so don't miss out on it.

Lileo carries unique "tongue in cheek" fashion, everything from True Religion, Stella McCartney by Adidas, W. R. by Replay, Nice Collective, Worn Free, Language, Velvet, Emerge, Hugo Boss Orange, 3J Workshop and more.

Lileo is located at the Distillery District, 55 Mill Street, Building 35.

+++ Watch out when you buy anything at LILEO +++
This is my experience with this store:
The co-owner for Lileo was so RUDE that it actually shocked me! He had NO people tactic at all! And we are talking of Jeans that cost over $250 a piece, people that can afford it you would think that he would want that client back over and over again. I guess not. I bought a pair of Jeans and needed to exchange it to a size bigger. Have in mind that they had it in stock but he would not change it. No credit note nothing, which means I just had to throw away a pair of Jeans because of him!!! What an experience! Never ever again!!!
