Shopping: Shopbop’s “Sale on Sale” Starts Today!

22 June, 2016 Nelia Leave a Comment

If you’ve been hoarding things in your cart on Shopbop.com, today’s the day to finally click CHECKOUT, because sale items are now additional 25% off with promo code 25EXTRA until this Friday! Which means that those timeless heels, cute summer dresses, and that designer bag you’ve been coveting are now a lot more affordable. I have quite a lengthy wish list going myself, so I’m going to have to make some tough decisions, but extra 25% off is just too tempting to pass up. I am sure most of you are already pros when it comes to online shopping, but here are a few of my handy tips for those of you in need of a little guidance. Sale season is upon us, but you don’t want to get stuck with something you don’t love just because it was on sale.

1. As you browse your favourite online retailers throughout the year, make sure to bookmark the items that you really like. Some sites like Shopbop have the Wish List option, which helps you curate all of your faves in one spot (and in your size!). This way you’re not going to buy a bunch of random things you will regret later.
2. If there’s a particular item that you simply must have, but are unsure of your sizing, visit your local brick and mortar shop to try it on. It takes a bit of effort, but this way you’ll avoid disappointment and save on return shipping fees.
3. Once or twice a week re-visit the bookmarked items and wish lists to see if any of your favourites went on sale.
4. If your must-haves are on sale and your size is still available, do a quick search to see if there are any current coupon codes you can use to save a bit more money (free shipping codes, extra discounts, etc).
5. If your size is unavailable, don’t give up! Keep the page bookmarked, and re-visit occasionally in case someone returns your size. It happens all the time!

With that said, happy shopping and don’t forget to use promo code 25EXTRA!

bloggerbazaar_2014_3

Due to the overwhelming response we received after the last two Blogger Bazaars, we’ve decided to get together for one more in 2014! Who’s excited?

This Saturday, September 27th, join us as we put some of our fave fall clothes and accessories up for sale at Toronto’s Soho House. This time around you can expect to see lots of coats, boots, and other fall essentials – all for a steal! If you are looking for a perfect coat, or a cool designer bag, this sale is not to be missed! Once again, there’ll be a mix of vintage, brand new, and gently used items available, and there’ll be gift bags with purchase too.

Thanks to our generous sponsors, our swag bags are pretty awesome if I say so myself, and will include items from ALDO, Cake Beauty, Call It Spring, essence, H&M, Roots, vitaminwater, Yorkdale, along with other faves of ours. Additionally, just like last time, 10% of all sales will be donated to charity – this time – Dress for Success. So many reasons to come out and spend your Saturday afternoon in the company of fun Toronto bloggers! Hope to see you there!

Events: Blogger Bazaar Summer 2014

blogger-bazaar-toronto-2014-52

Last month, I joined some of Toronto’s best fashion bloggers (Sharon and Tara backseatstylers.com, Kimberly thesoulsofmyshoes.com, Anita iwantigot.geekigirl.com, Hawley sidewalkhustle.com, Anya imtheitgirl.com, Liane etsy.com/ca/shop/thelostsea, Jessica everafterlacquer.com, and Monica aimeluxury.com) in the SALE OF THE CENTURY! Ok, maybe not. But it still felt pretty epic. Our second Blogger Bazaar, held at Toronto’s Soho House, was a huge hit. Lots and lots of readers, friends, and curious passerby showed up, shopped, sipped complimentary vitaminwater, met other like-minded aka fashion-obsessed peeps, and helped us find good homes for our new and gently used treasures. It was a fashion madhouse, and I loved every second of it.

As promised, we had amazing swag bags to give away, filled to the brim with goodies kindly provided by ALDO, Artemano Decor, Call It Spring, Dove, eLUXE, essence, FLARE, Forever 21, Miraj Hammam Spa by Caudalie Paris, Roots, TRESemme, and vitaminwater. But even better than free swag, some of the deals were just too incredible to pass up. One lucky girl scored a gently-used Burberry trench for less than $200. Another picked up a pair of Wayfarers for $50. And of course there were even more deals on pieces from Hermes, YSL, Isabel Marant, Marni, Proenza Schouler, Prada…you name it – all priced to sell. Impulse buys, well-loved staples that sadly no longer fit, vintage goodies, there were all kinds of treasures to be found, and a lot of you made them your own. At the end of the day, 10% of all sales were donated to the Corsage Project charity. Just a little something to give back to our community.

The best and most memorable part of this summer’s Blogger Bazaar was once again meeting and interacting with our readers. So many of you showed up and spent the time to support our little event, and for that I am incredibly thankful. Without you, the readers, our blogs would just be empty shells, but you make it so much more than that. Thank you! Hope to see you again at the next Blogger Bazaar this September!

The Room At The Bay 40% Off Sale!

3 June, 2011 Nelia 4 Comments

And it begins! Spring 2011 designer wares are now on sale at The Room at The Bay (Queen St). Brands such as Charlotte Olympia, VAWK, Moschino, Christopher Kane, Erdem, Balmain, and so many more, are available at The Room at 40% off! You’d be surprised at how many sought after (and borderline rare) pieces you’d be able to find there.

Last year, I scored big with some Pierre Hardy heels, and my fave Proenza Schouler booties, and yesterday, I was lucky enough to pick up a Christopher Kane galaxy skirt, a pair of Christian Louboutin Police heels, and a Moschino dress…all for a fraction of a price. Needless to say, my upcoming trip to NYC will not be as shopping-oriented as originally intended.

If you love your designer garb, make sure to stop by The Room before your size sells out. Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you and HAPPY SHOPPING!

Looking to do a little shopping? There are a few awesome shopping events happening in the city this week! Don’t miss out!

1. BOGO Event at H&M

Buy One, Get One Free on select knitwear at H&M stores in Canada from October 28th, until November 10th! Perfect time to stock up on your fave sweaters, or even buy a few early Christmas presents.

2. RACHEL Rachel Roy at The Bay

The RACHEL Rachel Roy collection is the redefinition and exploration of cool. One foot uptown, one foot downtown with a dash of daring. RACHEL Rachel Roy captures the cultural and individual essences of an urban-inspired lifestyle.”

The collection, available at The Bay, is full of fun party dresses and cool separates for any stylish urbanite. And this week, until November 1st, get 30% off regular priced RACHEL Rachel Roy items.

3. Victoria’s Secret Opens at Toronto Eaton Centre

Tomorrow, October 28th, the Angels will be landing at Toronto Eaton Centre for the opening of the second Victoria’s Secret store in Toronto. Come by and get your picture taken with Alessandra Ambrosio and Lily Aldridge from 5-7pm. Get access to the faster VIP line with a $100 minimum Victoria’s Secret purchase. Plus, get a Free Limited Edition Tote—filled with beauty must-haves and The Lacie — with a minimum $75 purchase. While supplies last. One tote per transaction.

Judging by the way autograph signing went at Yorkdale in August, I would suggest to get there early to ensure you actually get to meet the models.

4. Reia Studio Sample Sale

Not exactly this week, but it’s always good to plan ahead. November 4-6, Reia Studio will be holding a sample sale featuring accessories, clothing, and shoes from brands such as Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, Miu Miu, Givenchy, and many more.

Having never been to a Reia sample sale before, I am not exactly sure what to expect, but the promise of amazing brands at 70% off sounds pretty darn good to me.

Reia Studio is located at 555 Richmond St. West, suite 706, Toronto, ON.
