Sites I can't live without

Well, maybe I could live without them...but I definitely wouldn't look as good.

There are so many great brands of clothes available, but the selection available in Canadian boutiques and Holt Renfrew (we need Saks and Bloomingdales!) is sparse. Enter online shopping!I have 2 standby sites that I visit on a regular basis: www.revolveclothing.com and www.shopbop.com Both of these sites have FREE shipping to Canada, and if the item doesn't fit or you don't like it, you only need to pay for the return shipping. These sites stock similar brands but have very different selections and exclusive items.

Revolve Clothing offers 30% off for new customers! After you place an order, just email their customer service line and request this discount. Revolve customer service is AMAZING! They always get back to you within an hour or two and are super helpful. You can always google discount codes and recieve an additional 15% discount or more off subsequent orders.

ShopBop doesn't offer as many discount codes as Revolve, but they have huge sales where you can get great items at insanely discounted prices. I just purchased the Joie Izzy Poet blouse for $103 on sale the other week, and then saw it in Holt Renfrew this week for $275. I win! ShopBop also compiles lookbooks and trend watches that can be a great source of inspiration (or great time killer during work or class!).

Check the sites out and happy shopping!

Canadians like clothes too

As an MBA student that follows fashion blogs and is guilty of choosing Vogue and Bazaar over Accounting and Finance textbooks, I am well aware of the amazing fashions, trends and beauty products that are available on the market. However, when I want to try or buy these things of beauty, I can't find them in Canada! There are only so many trips that I can make to my favorite fashion districts in Paris and New York, which is why I have decided to start this blog. I am a self-proclaimed shopping geek. I have taken my love of fashion and beauty and put my nerdy MBA research skills (my degree is already proving its value!) into finding the best shopping sites and best deals that I can access from my Western Canadian condo. Please visit me regularly for updates on shopping deals, insider tips, and ideas for how you can rock the best pieces at the best prices.
