Via de Tornabuoni may be the fashion avenue of Florence, but its along the citys winding tributaries where the locals shop.
Filled with the sort of info that only a Florentine would know, Louise Filis The Civilized Shoppers Guide to Florence is a must-pack for those whod sooner snap up Tuscan table linens than a pair of designer sunnies.
Featuring local cobblers, milliners, artisans and more, Filis discriminating guide will take you from one unique gem to another.
We love the idea of finding our own Florentine scent at perfumery Elisir or scoring a vintage Hermes scarf from Elio Ferraro.
Also included are dozens of dining suggestions, like Pugi for the best focaccia pizza in town.
Arrivederci Toronto, boungiorno Firenze!
The Civilized Shoppers Guide to Florence is available at Type Books, 883 Queen St. W., Toronto, 416-366-8973, www.typebooks.ca

When it came out in 2014, five nights at freddy’s was a big deal in the horror game genre. The game can be played on PCs, mobile phones, and game systems, among other things.

The styling choices in the pieces shown here really do make the difference between a room that functions and one that actually feels inviting. Long-term comfort matters as much as aesthetics when you’re setting up a living space.
