There are some seconds that we're not fans of. Last few seconds before a deadline? Torture. Second place in the annual office bowl-a-thon? We were robbed! But when it comes to a second location of one of our favourite stores, that's a different story. 
Now that Kismet has opened a second store on Stephen Avenue Walk, we feel as though we've died and gone to retail heaven. The long, narrow space is modern and stylish (in an exposed brick, Art Deco, white-walls-meets-dark-floor way). But what really caught our eye was the mix of far eastern design influences meets niche, independent labels-much like in the original Kensington store.
We fell in love with the embellished, feminine dresses, skirts and tops by England's high-end line, Nougat. The tailored, clean pieces by InWear and Denmark's Designer Remix caught our eye instantly. And we were thoroughly impressed with owner Annabel Tully's newest find, Bash, an Israeli line fusing simple tailoring with Bohemian, global influences.
Naturally, we'll be back for seconds.
