Shopping: Shopbop Fall 2018 Sale


Fall is officially here and just in time, Shopbop is having its sale of the season! Get 20% off orders under $500, or 25% off orders of $500 or more with promo code STOCKUP18. And what’s even better is that the code is valid for both sale and regular-priced items! It helps if you have a wishlist saved, so you can just add to cart and checkout before items sell out. But if you don’t, I put together a few of my fave key pieces for this season below. The sale will run from September 25th until September 29th, but as always, shopping early will ensure that you have the best size/style selection.

Happy Shopping!

Shopping: Shopbop Sale on Sale 2018


I am so obsessed with everything on Shopbop right now! I already picked up a couple of RIXO London dresses, grabbed another bathing suit from Solid and Striped, and still holding out for that perfect Jacquemus summer dress. And the best part? I got it all ON SALE! Right now, you can get an additional 25% already reduced items by using the promo code SCORE18 for up to 70% savings. Hot tip: if your size is sold out, make sure to “heart” the item, because it’ll make it much easier to stalk and finally snag when it is back in stock. If you’re ready to add a few must-haves to your wardrobe this summer, make sure to check out the Shopbop Sale on Sale. It’s REALLY good!

Shopping: Shopbop Spring 2018 Sale


While it’s still cold and miserable outside, I’m here dreaming of summer and I truly hope that it looks and feels like that amazing La Bomba video by Jacquemus. Even if it’s just a fraction as fab, I’ll be a happy girl. And the first step to recreating the essence of La Bomba is to invest in a few chic dresses and jumpsuits I can strut around in this summer. Luckily, Shopbop is having a major sale on their key styles, and they carry Jacquemus too! From April 10th until April 14th, you can get 25% off orders over $500, and 20% off orders under $500 with code EVENT18 on items labeled Key Style.

There are so many trends to choose from this summer, from polka dots, to clean-cut linen, to retro prints, to dainty florals, and Shopbop has the perfect dress (or jumpsuit) with your name on it! Shop my faves after the jump and enjoy La Bomba!

Holidays 2017: Best Gifts From Our Favourite Stores

If you still haven’t started your holiday gift shopping, don’t panic. Black Friday is the best time to get deals on everything from hostess gifts to treat-yo-self goodies. And since one of the biggest sale days of the year is quickly approaching, I wanted to share my fave gift ideas from my most-frequented shops. My number one Black Friday (and Boxing Day) strategy includes a bit of pre-planning, favouriting all of my must-haves in my internet browser, and then buying it all online once sales are in effect. So go ahead, check out the fun gift ideas below, save your faves for later, and don’t forget to get something awesome for yourself!

1. Shopbop

Shopbop Sale is already in effect, and you can get up to an additional 30% off sale and regular-priced items until Nov 26th with promo code MORE17. My fave things to buy from Shopbop are usually the things that never go on sale, like Stuart Weitzman over-the-knee boots, and vintage CHANEL bags, but it’s also a great time to stock up on essentials like pretty undies and luxurious pajamas.


2. Sephora

Sephora is obviously a great place to shop for beauty, but what sets it apart is its selection of fab limited-edition gift sets. If you have a true beauty obsessive on your shopping list, treat them to a chic Armani Palette or the dreamy Naked Vault Volume IV…there are so many cool gift sets to choose from! My personal fave thing to order from Sephora (for myself) are the Caudalie sets – such a good deal compared to buying each thing separately!

3. Hudson’s Bay

I am still kicking myself for missing out on one of the recent Bay Days sales on Dyson vacuums, but thankfully, more hot sales will keep coming in the next few weeks. This year, I’m picking up some beautiful L’Occitane gifts from Hudson’s Bay, HBC PJs, and holding out hope for deals on anything from SMEG!

4. Indigo

Indigo is literally my happy place – any time I need a pick-me-up, I head on over to a store near my house to find my next fave book. This year, I highly recommend Call Me By Your Name by Andre Aciman (the movie is a masterpiece but so is the book). There are also a ton of gifts for anyone and everyone on your shopping list – from Fuji Instax Smartphone Printer to glam Jenny Bird earrings.

5. Holt Renfrew

1. Diptyque Constellation Candles ($145) 2. Charlotte Tilbury Naughty & Nice Magic Box ($250) 3. Twilly d’Hermès Eau de Parfum ($147) 4. Tiffany & Co. Piggy Bank ($170) 5. Me To We Choker ($50) 6. CHANEL Brush Collection ($234) 7. Holt Renfrew 2017 Holiday Bear ($55) 8. Bastide Bath Oil ($65)

If you haven’t been to Holt Renfrew on Bloor St lately, I highly recommend a visit – there are so many special activations and pop-up shops to discover, you’ll have a blast while getting things checked off your shopping list. There’s the CHANEL Gifting Studio with awesome freebies and exclusive items; a Tiffany & Co. pop-up shop with the chicest gifts around; there’s the Bandier pop-up where you can find sporty gifts for your loved ones or a perfect workout outfit for yourself. Either way, you are guaranteed to find a luxurious prezzie or five for your nearest and dearest.

Happy Shopping, everyone!

Shopping: Shopbop Event of the Season Sale is Here!


Even though we’ve been spoiled with an unseasonably toasty September, I can’t stop thinking about fall must-haves – perfectly cozy knits, chic but comfy boots, and coats that are both stylish and warm. Well, good news is that Shopbop’s Event of The Season Sale is here, and you can get all of those wishlist items you’ve been eyeing at an additional 20-25% off…yes, even sale items!

Get 25% off orders of $500 or more, or 20% off all other orders with promo code EOTS17! And while there are some exclusions, Shopbop’s Event of The Season Sale is the perfect time to get a discount on items that normally never go on sale. This sale is on for 3 days only, and if past sales are any indication, popular styles tend to sell out quickly, so don’t wait around. I’ve already ordered some fall essentials, and can’t wait for my package to arrive!

Below is a selection of my favourite pieces available on Shopbop at the moment – cool ankle boots from Dorateymur, the most perfect faux shearling jacket from MOTHER, a leopard faux fur coat from LEHA, among other fun fall pieces. Shop them after the jump!

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

shopbop-sale-promo-code
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!

Shopping: Best One-Piece Swimsuits To Buy Right Now

solid-and-striped-anne-marie-one-piece-swimsuit-lookbook-5
First things first – Shopbop Friends and Family Sale starts today, so if you like any of the swimsuits on this list, know that they are most likely on sale RIGHT NOW! The sale will end on April 7th, and you can use promo code INTHEFAM to get 25% off sale and regular-priced merchandise.

Having said that, today’s post is about one-piece swimsuits. As someone who’s no longer a size zero, I am psyched that one-piece bathing suits are making a comeback. The variety of styles is pretty incredible – from solid to striped, to everything in between, rocking a one-piece this summer is practically a necessity. I wore a few on my getaway to Hawaii, and loved how flattering and comfy they were. Mark my words – all you need is a pair of chic sunglasses and a cool one-piece for any beach getaway. So if you’re looking for a stylish one-piece swimsuit, now’s the perfect time to pick one up. Check out my faves below!
