Hello Darlings, After a long day of filming on new docu-series called Celebrity Style Story for E! and Fashion Television channels, I rushed to the much anticipated Tory Burch opening of their first boutique in Canada. As a long time Tory Burch fan of her East coast meets West coast style of preppy yet relaxed looks, it is exciting to welcome yet another wonderful designer to Canada.
On May 4th, Tory Burch opened its iconic lacquered orange doors at Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre. According to Tory Burch herself, “Our Yorkdale boutique has been in the works for a while, but we took our time finding the right space and were patient until it became available. We have always been drawn to Canada because of its incredible culture and people — the customer is savvy, stylish and loves fashion.”
The boutique itself without all the goodies in it, is a stunner. Featuring Burch’s signatures such as brass chandeliers, green flooring and a brown and white stripe area rug; the boutique is a mix of traditional and modern elements. The ready-to-wear-room that features an entire luxury lifestyle line is upholstered in navy snow leopard and includes comfortable seating nooks with bookshelves and iPads where customers can get some down time from shopping.
Seaform silk taffeta drapes welcome the visitor into the shoe salon and is my favorite part of the store. The salon is situated around teal velvet sofas and green lacquered tables, where the shoe shelves are highlighted by raffia walls. The atmosphere is relaxing and perfect for getting your footsies pampered by the many charming designs.
I AM WEARING: Zara Láme Sweater // Club Monaco Zowie Skirt // YSL Arty Ring // Kate Spade Little Blaine Satchel // Miu Miu Zebra Suede Flats // Tory Burch Beverly Pumps
Speaking of shoes, during the store opening my best-friend and I spent most of our time at the salon deciding on our footwear. As a surprise treat the guests received generous giftcards to spend that evening. As our choice of footwear, I walked out with the most adorable pair of Beverly pumps while Anna picked out a classic pair of beige Clines ballerinas.

The majority of the event we spent shopping and looking at all of the beautiful goodies that Tory Burch offers while sipping on champagne. It was definitely a lovely way to spend a girls night out
With Love…

WOW that great! Tory Burch in Canada. I’m so jealous that you got to go to the opening and you got a gift card to spend. I’m sure there would have been a pair of ballet flats with my name on them. Thanks for the wonderful post
Thank you Brian. It was a wonderful event and the store is beautiful. It was just a bit of a shame that Tory didn’t come herself since it’s her first store in Canada.
It is a shame that Tory didn’t come, she seems like such a down to earth person. I love your Beverly pumps, they are very adorable. I wonder if Tory Burch will ship inside Canada now that there is a store here. Cross my fingers!
Have a great day

Brian, if face they will ship to Canada at the end of May
I am quite excited about it as well!
WOW that’s great news. Of course I still LOVE the TB boutique shopping experience when I’m in Arizona and now TO. Thanks for letting me know
My pleasure
During my recent visit to the Scottsdale Tory Burch boutique I met the manager, she was wonderful, just like you. She knew I was from Canada but didn’t know I lived in Calgary. When I told her Calgary she was so excited. Turns out she was in Calgary for 3 weeks helping to get the Tory Burch boutique in Chinook Center ready to open. It was kind of a cute connection.
I’m definitely going to check out the new Tory Burch boutique but I’ll likely continue to support the Scottsdale one.
