LIVE WITH STYLE

If you’re like us and you wish Anthropologie would set up shop in Toronto, you may want to take a peek at LIV, a charming new lifestyle store on Eglinton.

Launched by Joanna Goodman, owner of chic bedding shop Au Lit, this 10,000 square foot, two-level store combines fashion and jewellery with furniture, linens, lighting and accessories.

Pick from delicate twinkling necklaces from The Right Hand Gal (from $180), ultra-soft cotton dresses from Bread & Butter (from $230), and gorgeous knitwear from Montreal’s Touch of Me ($110).

We loved the selection of bubbles, bath soaks and delicately scented Gianna Rose drawer liners ($21).

Don’t miss the lower level bursting with fabulous flee market finds like vintage bureaus, nightstands and chandeliers. You’ll also find a monogramming service ($25 for the first three letters on in-store merchandise) plus plenty of pretty crockery, glasses and kitchen supplies.

Trust us, you won’t leave empty handed.
