Oh Holts! How I love you!
If only I had an enormous paycheck.. I would dedicate major time and money to you. For now I will just browse and occasionally treat myself to something I apparently can't live without!
As the Canadian version of Bloomingdales and Barneys, this store is legit and has most (if not all) of the offerings of their American counterparts. There are tons of designers, a wide selection of handbags and a great shoe department. If you want anything high end, from expensive hand cream and make up to beautiful boots and fun party dresses - Holt's has it all.
Bonus - I don't find the sales people especially snobby, as my experience with these kind of stores is they usually profile you and treat you accordingly...
So if you have some money and want to look fine - hit up Holts. You WILL find something to spend your dough on!
