Oh Holt Renfew, you cruel, vicious lover you.
My love/hate for this place is out of control.
I love the designer clothes I can't afford, I hate the snooty makeup counter girls. I love having an all-Canadian upscale mall with all the trappings of Neimum Marcus and Bergdorff's in the States. I hate that it can sometimes seem dated and a little cheap in that they seem to cut corners.
i love the holiday gift-wrapping service, I hate the price hike for nothing more than it being a Holt Renfrew product.
Ah, but Holt's in the winter, the Christmas shopping, the music, the cozy lighting, the cashmere as far as the eye can see. Even if it's just a $20 candle you can afford, it's about the shopping experience.
