I recently asked my cousin Laura what my next blog should be about, she always reads and comments on all my blogs. She gave me the idea to write about the recent recession and how to save coin, which is a great idea if you know how to do so. Unfortunately I do not know how to save money very well but I can sure as hell give you tips on how to spend it and what to spend it on. I decided not to pretend like I know what I'm talking about when it comes to bargaining and saving money, because I really just have no idea. Instead I will give you my favorite  places to shop for summer clothing in Toronto. I do try very hard to budget but it never seems to work, actually... I don't really try that hard. I'm sure most women can relate when I say that there's always a new item that you 'must have' and a new season to purchase for. It's like a never ending story, it's one of the things you can count on most in life, like laundry and dirty dishes.

Here are some of my favorite ways to spend money... ;)

The brand new Toronto Diesel store. Hi, I have been waiting for this to happen for years, I love Diesel jeans and they last forever ! If you don't have a pair you should really invest.

Recently opened store on Queen Street W called Original, formerly known as FX. This store has great LAMB and Betsey Johnson shoes and everything else you could possibly dream of.

TNT Blu. If you haven't been to TNT you are missing out. This is one of my favorite stores in Toronto , it also has a great mens section.

New bathing suits are a must in everyones summer wardrobe and I purchase mine from Brazen Hussy. They also have the hottest dresses for summer weddings, events etc.

Hanky Panky. I am personally underwear obsessed and Hanky Panky has tons of styles and colours for everyone. I purchase most of mine at Holt Renfrew but they also sell them at Nearly Naked and a few other lingerie shops I have been to in Toronto.
