Two major shopping events launching this weekend

Every Friday, torontolife.com publishes The Weekender, a roundup of the city’s best weekend events. We usually cover major festivals, concerts, plays and perhaps a foodie event or two, but the latest column will be of particular interest to Style readers.

Two new shopping initiatives are launching in the city: Frugal Fashion Week, which includes a West Queen West shop crawl on Saturday and Sunday, and Portobello East, a monthly market at the Distillery District that showcases local designers and artists. Read The Weekender here for more information.
