Heart’s Content
Here at Horsing Around Headquarters, we have a soft spot for anything punk rock, an homage to our disaffected, music loving youth. While we may have toned down our look a little over time, we still love clothing with a rocker edge. Nestled in the funky Fan Tan Alley, Heart’s Content is THE place to indulge your inner mod, badass rocker, or flirty coquette (or all three, why not)? Heart’s Content boasts the largest selection of Doc Marten shoes in town and these are the real deal, no knock offs. With their sturdy soles and sleek design, Docs are great for both work and play. The boots look terrific worn with sleek tights and short skirts, and the shoes look equally styling (dressed up or down) on girls and guys.
Affordability and a stylish selection make this one boutique that is aptly named
If you are a fella who fancies yourself more mod than punk, Heart’s Content stocks a range of stylish Ben Sherman shirts. Add one of their skinny ties and a sleek Harrington jacket to complete your ensemble. Ladies will love the flirty kilts, which pair beautifully with a pair of opaque Mondor tights. With their broad selection of leggings, tights, sexy thigh high stockings, colourful socks, and graphic printed tights from England’s Pamela Mann, you’ll be in hosiery hog heaven.
Additional accessories you’ll find in this store include infinity scarves, cozy knit toques, Elita bodysuits (perfect for layering under sheer blouses), wigs, jewelry, studded belts as well as made in Vancouver cotton lycra basics (black mini and maxi skirts) that are perfect for office or every day wear. Prices are reasonable with the majority of items (save the Docs) coming in at well under the $100 mark. Affordability and a stylish selection make this one boutique that is aptly named.
