Rant of the Day: Local Designers

What I love about NYC are the endless shops. Not matter where you are in that city you able to stumble upon a cute boutique filled with designer duds. Another thing I have always admired about New York is the support of their local designers. From my experience it seems so easy to by a peice by your favourite designer who is born and bred in New York, in Toronto not so much. Hopefully that is something that will change because I have been dying to pick up endless by some of my favourite designers.
