2009 marks the 25th anniversary of Canadian fashion retail chain, Aritzia. From now until Sunday November 22, they are having a sale to celebrate this occasion. I stopped by the Pacific Centre branch today and I didn’t think there were outrageously good deals. The usual 10% off house brands (TNA, Talula, Wilfred, etc.) The best deals I came across were 30% off UGG Boots and Rock & Republic Jeans for $150.

If you’ve ever caught yourself (or a friend) treating the sidewalk like a runway, the “Wear Else New Face Contest” is for you. Simply email Wear Else your picture and a line or two on why you think you, or someone you know, should be the new face of Wear Else. Ten finalists will be invited for a professional styling and photo shoot, and the finalists’ best pictures will be posted on the Wear Else website, where shoppers and fans can vote for a winner.
.
What’s in it for you? The winner will not only receive a $2,500 shopping spree, photo shoot and VIP status at Wear Else, but she’ll also be featured in a Wear Else advertising campaign, on the website and on any television appearances.
.
Contest closes on December 15 at midnight. Send two digital images, including one full body shot, and a few sentences on why you (or your friend) should be the new face of Wear Else to newface@wearelse.com. Pictures must be in jpeg, tiff or png format and no larger than 1MB each. Contestants must reside in the Lower Mainland.
Surprise!! The GAP has literally turned its retail world upside down with the launch of its “SPRIZE” card. Last week, on a regular Thursday morning, the downtown Vancouver community awoke to upside-down logos, signs, mannequins, and even cars (!!) surrounding the GAP on Robson Street. All this “shopping turned on its head” in preparation to prepare the public for the SPRIZE offering.
With an easy one-minute in-store sign up … the SPRIZE card offers customers an incentive to purchase now, instead of waiting for an item to go on sale. How? If something you buy from GAP goes on sale within 45 days of your purchase date, you are notified by email and automatically given an in-store credit (called “Sprize Bucks”) of the difference in pricing.
From now until November 15, bring a gently-worn party dress into Wear Else and get a $50 gift card. Your dress will be donated to Dress for Success.
