Shopping — and the air-conditioned boutiques that come with it — may be the perfect way to break from this weekend’s summer heat. And with all the summer sales on around Hogtown, it’s also your bank account’s turn to rest easy. Here is PostCity.com’s round up of the best sales in the city this weekend.
Holt Renfrew
What is the summer sun without that pair of Prada sunglasses you’ve had your eye on? Or maybe you’re after that Alexander Wang breezy tee and the Helmut Lang jeans to match. What if you accessorized the outfit with a deal? This weekend, selected fashions and accessories at Holt Renfrew are 60 per cent off. With those savings, you may even want a bag to match.

Bayview Village
The annual summer sale is on and with so many boutiques to choose from, this sale offers just about something for anyone. Doing some summer redecorating? Head to the Bombay Company, where items are up to 50 per cent off. You can finally purchase that canopy bed and sleep well knowing you got a deal.

Eleven
While the store is still just a baby (barely a year old), the deals this weekend are almost mammoth. The spring collection by designers Joeffer Caoc, Thien Le, and Linda Lundström are all 30 to 50 per cent off, and accessories are up to 70 per cent off. With the savings, you might even want to venture to the second floor of the shop, where the haute items strut their stuff.

Specchio Shoes
Yes, you can tell the difference between a well-made shoe and that pair of $15 sandals from H&M. At least your feet can tell the difference, especially if you’ve spent all day shopping. Now, with a summer sale enough to make any well-heeled girl giddy, you can get 50 to 70 per cent off that perfect pair of Dries van Noten. Not only will you make your feet happy, but your wallet will thank you too.

Sporting Life
If shopping causes you to sweat, Sporting Life may be the place for you. With all spring Adidas clothing and sportswear up to 50 per cent off, a sweat-resistant outfit is a perfectly viable option. You might even find the items so comfortable, you’ll want to venture out for a mid-day jog.
