Trendy on a budget: It's pretty hard to keep up with the trends, but an instant way to update your wardrobe is to use accessories. If you hit Forever 21 you can find a lot of accessories that are on trend and of the moment but not too hard on your wallet. Similar to H&M, Forever 21 is about what fashions are currently hot and what you see in the magazines. Though definitely for the younger set, you can find a few key and wearable pieces. I would definitely suggest Forever 21 when shopping for gifts for teen and pre-teen friends and relatives.

Bridal Hair: While BitterSweet is great for jewellery and accessories to wear everyday, I always recommend it to brides who are looking for pretty pieces whether its a necklace, earrings or something to adorn their hair. Their bridal selection is unique but hip. I really like them for their bridal hair accessories since they have everything from tiaras to decorative hair combs. Brides can find something here for themselves or for their bridesmaids. BitterSweet has jewellery consultations for the their brides which are complimentary, meaning no obligation to buy. Even if you are not a bride, you can still shop at BitterSweet for big rings, fun earrings and long chain necklaces.

Classic Jewellery: Marex Jewellery, the sister store of European Jewellers, is where I go when I'm looking for a classic accessory (such as pearls, which I'm currently crazy for) at a reasonable price. They have a wide selection of gold and silver jewellery, as well as statement pieces. If you are in to collecting well made jewellery but keeping money in your pocket, then Marex Jewellery should be added to your shopping lists!
