Shopping Adventure and Visions of Superstardom
Not all adventures have to take place on a glacier or in the Himalayas. We had our own little adventure downtown Toronto at Roots Canada flagship store on Bloor.
Nothing But a Dream
Bloor Street Roots Canada Staff Helping us Achieve our Dream
We arrived armed with nothing but the clothes on our backs and a dream to look gorgeous. Danielle was waiting patiently for us on the second floor as we charged into the room like a running bull in Pamplona. Oh Yes, we would conquer the racks of clothes and piles of perfectly folded t-shirts.
So Much to Choose From
Shopping with Confidence
We weren’t intimidated by the staff and patrons who were dressed in their fashion forward, trendsetting frocks. We were inspired to look more like them, to model ourselves after their great style and have their expertise rub off on these two traveling slobs stuck in the rutt of wearing micro fiber gear and quick dry garments.
See the World in Style
Feeling Good at Roots
So we embraced our new chapter in ThePlanetD’s Round the World Adventures. We’ll now walk through the airport with our heads held high looking “travel chic” in our new Roots wardrobe. There’s no time like the present to put our new found confidence to the test, we’ll be draped in high quality fabrics from Canada to Antarctica and back again.
Dave and His Swag
With their grand assortment of cozy pullovers and soft hoodies, warm hats and breathable water resistant shells, Roots Canada has prepared us for any situation.
We’re now going to rival Angelina and Brad, George and Stacy and Tom and Katy. Between our Roots clothing and our Rudy Project Sunglasses, we’ll have that “hollywood incognito,” “oh you look so perfect feel” after each and every long haul flight.
Fashion Shoot
We embraced our new found celebrity status (in our heads anyway) and posed for photos all over the store.
We modelled beside the sock display and leaned on the traditional canoe, we postured in front of the classic T’s and strutted along the wall of history.
We worked the room in a way that would make Tyra stand up and take notice.
Celebrity Status
Oh Yes, we’ll be gracing the covers of Travel Vogue and Travel Enquiring Minds Want to Know and we’ll be in the latest, who’s hot? and Who’s not of travel? We can already predict we’ll be sizzling like a side of Canadian Back Bacon on open fire in the middle of Algonquin Park on a hot summers day. We’ll let you decide if that’s a good thing or not!

This post made me smile! Too funny… I shopped at Roots last time I went to the Toronto Film Fest, and still wear my red Roots maple leaf t-shirt all the time (the sleeves are short enough to show off my bicep tattoos, which Mary likes). Need to go back and get a beaver shirt, though.
You truly had a Canadian experience when you were in Toronto. The TIFF and shopping at Roots, I think we can say you are an honorary Canadian:)
I love how the Roots brand is just so uniquely Canadian. I think it’s a great ambassador for the country when it’s worn all around the world.

I agree John. I remember wearing my Olympic Baret when we went to Europe for the first time in 1998, I was so proud of that hat and our Olympic team when they wore Roots. They looked smashing.
My wife will love shopping adventures stories like this especially if it is a cheap sale.
I am not a fan of Roots but seen their shop in Kuala Lumpur before.

Roots was having a 50% off sale so we got a lot more than we expected to get. I didn’t know that they had Roots in KL, very cool.
I think that after I return to the US, I’m going to treat myself to a shopping spree like this. I am definitely NOT a chic traveler right now

I hear you Stephanie. We always shop at the markets when we’re traveling and think that we look so great in our clothes but then we get home and realize that we didn’t look as fashionable as we thought. We realized that we have to add some quality to our travel clothing, the $2 fisherman pants from Thailand just don’t do the trick:)
Wow!very cool site…are those clothes you wear are the stars dresses?and are they on sale?thanks
