Pixie
Market
is a small shop that packs a power punch. Loaded with cool
clothes in the realm of very reasonably-priced, we found the shoes wed
been scouring the city for, and they were a steal to (Beatle) boot. With
an online shop too that ships to Canada, the fun can continue once you
return home. www.pixiemarket.com
