Gastown Shopping Tour Part 3: Obakki


This is the 3rd and last installment of my Gastown Shopping Tour series (see part 1 here and part 2 here).  The last stop of the tour was the always stylish Obakki (44 Water St, various locations).

Obakki is a chic boutique showcasing the brand's take on sophisticated neutrals for the modern urbanite.  Though utterly out of my normal price range, I still like to wander in Obakki's hushed interior, grazing my hand along its silken racks and letting the chime of its metal hangers ring in my ears.  The current Fall collection is a sea of desert tones and soft, sheer fabrics.  The desert theme seems very popular these days, and is reflected in Obakki's carefully curated jewellery section.  I wasn't allowed to take photos actually, so these ones are sneaked in, but you can check out the whole collection online.

Thanks for the "sneak" peeks. Beautiful fashions but impractical for my wardrobe needs. Doesn't stop me from looking though...

Blogging is a lot of work. I've started one but you make it seem so easy. Do you use a PC or MAC?
