Shoe in
Dearest shoe freaks, you are a breed after my own heart, so it’s with great pleasure that I announce the following four sales. Yorkville footwear Mecca, Davids (66 Bloor West, 416-920-1000) offers up to half off selected spring styles from coveted designers such as Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors and Ferragamo – yes, you heard right. Please stop squealing.
Danforth destination Labiri Shoes (531 Danforth, 416-778-6826), has some really sweet 50-per-cent-off racks, not to mention reductions on regular stock. Baby need a new pair of shoes?
Don’t miss the semi-annual Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Sale at Olly Shoes (2600 Yonge and 25 West Mall), where children’s seasonal name-brand footwear is 50 per cent off. 416-487-3100, 416-622-6522, www.ollyshoes.com.
Find budget shoe salvation at Joe Singer Shoes (2852 Danforth, 416-693-6045 and others), where if you buy one pair the next is half-price. Or score from the half-price racks, which offer an additional 25 per cent off the lowest marked price. See, aren’t you happy you didn’t cave in April? Good buys do come to those who wait.
Natural high
I know you can get a cheapie mani/pedi combo for a lot less, but if you’re looking for a quality combo deal – minus the poor air quality and less-than-chill ambience that usually comes with – hit Hair by Nature (1498 Queen East or 230 Danforth), where until the end of July every $40 pedicure comes with a $10 manicure. And, hey, while you’re there, tell ’em you saw it in NOW and score 40 per cent off Aveda Control Tape (www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2005-03-17/goods_beautytip.php). 416-466-7388, 416-465-7689, www.hairbynature.com.
