The first Canadian outpost of this 16-year-old American womenswear retailer is serious about its commitment to monochrome. Black-and-white decor choices dominate their new Yorkdale store. Everything from black-and-white striped changing room curtains to two-toned Persian-style rugs comply with the grey-scale motif.

The store, which caters to the well-heeled, 30+ set, stocks everything from solid-coloured turtlenecks ($74) to red carpet-worthy chiffon-sleeved dresses ($150). White House Black Market offers an embarrassment of LBDs. Halter knee-length? They've got it. Strapless peplum? For sure! You bet.
