It's that time of year again. The weather is too warm for all my new winter clothes, and my summer stuff from last year doesn't have me as excited as I used to. These are the places I'm shopping this week for some new summer dresses.

H&M

1 Dundas St. W., Toronto, ON, M5G 1Z3

Cheap fashion: I can go in and buy a whole outfit - complete with accessories - for the same price as a pair of pants in some of my other favorite stores.

Banana Republic Factory Store

1 Bass Pro Mills Drive, Vaughan, ON, L4K5W4

Fashion on the Cheap: Almost all of my previous trips to the states have included extensive trips to Banana Republic Factory Stores. Now those of us north of the border have a more convenient location.

Vaughan Mills houses the new store, which carries it's own separate line of clothes in addition to regular marked down stock. The discounts are steep - every time I've been in they've been running a separate 40% off all cashmere promotion.

Jacob

220 Yonge St #19, Toronto, ON, M5B2H1

Sleek and Stylish Workwear: Is it just me, or does everything in Jacob this season look like it came from the closet of Mad Men's Joan Holloway?

All the shapes are beautiful and structured in classic shades with splashes of bolder colours. I want all of it.

Jacob's prices are well within the budget of outfitting you for your first career. And, their clothing is trendy and sexy enough that you can wear it out for drinks after work!

Anthropologie

1090 Don Mills Rd (Shops at Don Mills), Toronto, ON, M3C 0E1

*Swoon*: It's here - it's finally here!

I'm *so* glad that we finally got an Anthropologie in Toronto. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent on their website drooling over their adorable dresses and imagining the occasions I would wear them to.

It's definitely a trek from the downtown core - but with the new McNally Robinson open in the same plaza, it's worth the trip.

And, for those Torontonians who refuse to go north of Dupont, another location is already in the works for Yorkville.

Girl Friday

740 Queen St. W., Toronto, ON, M6J 1E9

Oops!: For some reason I always confuse this place with Fly Girl, just steps away from Girl Friday's college street location (and which is also lovely, just not the place I often mean).

Girl Friday always has great items to fill a wide range of budgets. So, while you can go in and drool over some of the more expensive items, you can still leave with something wallet-friendly.

Girl Friday has a huge selection of quirky and fun separates and some classic items with a twist, like lime-green trimmed beige trenchcoats.

Robber

863 Queen Street West, Toronto, ON, M6J 1G4

"Stole" my heart: Bad puns aside, Robber is a great addition to the Queen West West strip. They have a good mix of different price ranges and carry a wide range of hard-to-find labels.

They're the only Toronto retailer of the fashion-blog-favourite, Built By Wendy. After drooling over their website for months, I was excited to see some of the pieces in person - and they're just as nice.

And, for those of you like me - who love American Apparel's sweatshop free missive and comfy tees, but hate the thought of supporting the skeezy Dov Charney - they carry the also-sustainable Alternative Apparel.
