OK, hold on to your hats and get ready to fall in love with Winnipeg's Kelsey & April and their little shop of dreams, Margot + Maude! We're not kidding... if you like fun, fashion and friendliness, this is your new favourite shop (to go along with our other retailers). Their level of knowledge on what they carry in their shop is incredible, their welcoming nature is classic Canadian, and their selections are simply delightful. When you're in the 'Peg, you simply must pop in. Can you tell us a little bit about your background(s)? M + M: We worked independent retail together at a little boutique in Osborne Village back in 2007. We got to be very hands on in our roles there...
Los Angeles can often feel big and impersonal, but on West 3rd you'll find a stretch that feels local and friendly. Right in the thick of that vibe you'll find the wonderfully welcoming Carlton Drew - a casual and preppy mens shop with East Coast accents. (See all our accounts at Stockists.)

Drew Sutton: I opened Carlton Drew at the end of 2012, before that...

The ACE changed the hotel industry, and managed to offer the perfect combination of comfort and cool with the friendliest staff you're likely to meet, which is a tall order, but a welcome one when away from home. We've enjoyed the whole process from the very beginning and loved joining forces and comparing notes. We were lucky enough to see our wares in action first hand recently and couldn't have been more proud to...
We're experts on cities and coffee (as long as being to a city, and having a few coffees there qualifies one as an expert). Really, this is a post about places we love getting coffee, in 5 different cities. You can bet that this won't be our last 5 Cities 5 Coffees post... as long as they don't run out of coffee... or cities. First stop is New York in Tribeca. We love the tiny hole in the wall that is Laughing Man Coffee. Regardless of the positive Hugh Jackman affiliation, there's something wonderful about a compact place that has a limited offering, but does it so well! It's no surprise everyone is always smiling there. Portland is a town...
