I had no idea the Coach wallet I got for Christmas was called the “Hampton Signature Checkbook Wallet” until I looked it up online. There’s no way it’ll fit into my smaller purses, but perhaps I could even use this as a clutch itself. Like most Coach accessories, it is a very solid and sturdy product. Two compartments for bills, a button clasp, numerous slots for credit cards and ID, and a separate zip-compartment for your coins on the other side. This particular wallet comes with a checkbook case, but who really carries their checkbook around anyway? There’s room for paper and a pen though, so I could always use it for note-taking purposes instead. I don’t really have much else to say about it so here is a picture for your reference. I got it in the brass/khaki/gold style. $218 + tax.

==========
I was briefly in the Mavi store in Gastown yesterday. Maybe it’s a good thing I didn’t buy anything since they’re having a 25% to 50% off sale on fall/winter merchandise (jeans, tshirts, sweaters, etc.) from December 26th to 28th.
============
Hey girls AND guys….this sale started about a week ago. Check out the up to 50% off boxing day sale at Jonathan + Olivia (2570 Main Street at Broadway) on their fall and winter merchandise. And if you happen to be a Vancouverite reading this in cold, cold Toronto, the new J+O boutique at 49 Ossington Avenue is already featuring boxing day specials up to 80% off!
When I posted my entry on the Blubird Clothing Sale a few days ago, I mentioned that I was hoping to get my hands on the hoodie I’ve had my eye on since the boutique’s grand opening in August.
.
As I have mentioned before, brands at Blubird (1055 Alberni Street @ Burrard) include Juicy Couture, Vince, Marc by Marc Jacobs, J Brand, Dolce Vita, Earnest Sewn, True Religion and Victoria Couture Hello Kitty. However, I have to say, if I’m going to shop there, I prefer to purchase from their in-house Blubird clothing line with its assortment of hoodies in solid colors (with a contrasting lining and logo stitch) and brightly colored pashminas. The hoodie I bought was $75 on sale for $50. Unfortunately, the pashminas were at regular price for $40.
.
Yesterday, I finally got the chance to drop by and check out their pre-Christmas sale (20% to 50% off fall clothing). My Blubird hoodie purchase (dark grey zip-up with a bright pink logo stitch on the sleeve, and writing on the hood and the same pink lining the hood – see left) came with a pastel blue shopping bag with the Blubird logo on it. Same material as the black and red Lululemon tarpaulin bag. You can kind of see it in the background of my photo to the left.

Lastly, I know it’s Christmas-shopping season, but if my MMV blog postings have been any evidence of my shopping habits, it sure seems like I’ve bought a lot of presents for myself!!
If you can manage to make it downtown in the snow before Christmas Eve, here’s a 15% off coupon for all regular priced items at Off The Wall. Click below to print it out to take with you to your OTW location of choice! Offer valid until December 24, 2008.
Similar to the Gastown Shop Hop a few weeks ago, Yaletown is holding a shopping night on December 19th from 5pm to 9pm. Celebrate the holiday season with 36 of Yaletown’s finest retailers and restaurants and spend the evening shopping for yourself or loved ones. From looking at the list below, it seems like most of the deals are around 20% off – which isn’t that much but if you had your eye on something in Yaletown anyway, this Friday would be the night to buy it! Skimming the list below, perhaps you can stop by Section 3 for 2 for 1 appies and drinks after you shop? Or get your hair done at Blo at 15% off before heading off to a fancy Christmas party? I would recommend clicking on the map below and printing it out to bring with you.
