E-closet Pop-Up Shop in the Danforth (+ giveaway)

I've been a fan of E-closet.ca since I first came across the online shop back in the fall. I was browsing the interwebs trying to find deals on sweaters and leggings when I saw that E-closet had a great selection. I also had the pleasure of hosting a holiday dress giveaway, which I ended up featuring AND wearing at Christmas.

Natasha, owner of E-closet, recently told me that the Danforth East Community Association (DECA) helps small businesses through the Pop-Up Project, by letting them have a physical location for a short period of time to see how it goes for them. This year, E-closet has a pop-up shop at 1801 Danforth Avenue, Toronto, and it's GORGEOUS.

E-closet is solely curated by Natasha, who picks all the items she wants featured in her online (and now pop-up) shop. Similar to Forever 21 and H&M, everything is trendy, reasonably priced and considered to be fast-fashion. The pop-up shop in the Danforth is currently scheduled to run until the fall (September/October).

Did I mention that the pop-up shop is beautifully merchandised?! I approve.

I often check out the new arrivals section in the online shop but didn't realize E-closet also had really nice, bright-coloured handbags and clutches.

These two dresses were my favourite out of the entire collection. Light for the summer, and perfectly align with the neon and tribal trend. E-closet also carries maxi and high-low dresses, but lately I've been trying to stay away from them because I have too many!

This is what I went home with! I really couldn't keep my eyes off that dress (available online, $34.50 CAD). The sailor earrings are super cute, and I needed a silver statement necklace.

The holidays are coming up and naturally I'm excited because of all the festive outfits I will get to put together! The dress photographed above was kindly given to me by E-Closet, an affordable and trendy online clothing store for ladies. The beaded detailing caught my eye at first glance and the quality of the fabric is amazing!

I will be wearing this dress tomorrow night to HoHoTO, the biggest end-of-the-year party that happens in Toronto. It's held annually at The Mod Club to raise funds for Toronto's Daily Bread Food Bank. It's my first year going and if you're free, get your ticket and come with me! If you can't make it you can still donate online (via PayPal) to a great cause.

Win a dress just like mine!
