We've always wondered what it would be like to live like a celebrity. Private jets and personal chefs are definitely some things we could get used to.
We could also get used to shopping with stylist Wendy Woods, founder of The Refinery, and her newest offering, Boutique Shopping Tours.
A trained image consultant, she knows which colours, shapes and styles we should (and shouldn't) be wearing, and how to plan a tour to meet people’s needs.
We strolled Queen West with Wendy, stopping in stores she knew would be a fit (some even offer tour discounts). And with a group size no bigger than five, her attention is hardly over-divided. Sport some hometown pride with Made in Canada ($95/pp), focusing on Canadian designers, or add extra oomph to your outfit with the Accessorize tour ($95/pp). Getting ready for something at work? She's in A Meeting ($95/pp) will make sure you look the part.
There's also Ladies who Brunch ($295/group), a customizable shopping tour that’s all about the star treatment. Tell her your group’s needs, from bridesmaid dresses to the perfect cocktail look, and spend the day shopping with your friends and a professional to get you red-carpet ready.
Just don't complain about the paparazzi.
