It’s that time again! The Aritzia Warehouse Sale, my favourite discount event of the year, will be happening between April 1st and April 5th at 611 Alexander Street. New merchandise will be added daily.
Old news, old news, but I wanted to point out that Aritzia has just recently opened its new flagship store location on the second floor of Pacific Centre in Downtown – right in time for the Christmas shopping season! I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet though… have you?

On Thursday, December 3, from 5pm to 9pm, shop at Boudoir (1230 Hamilton Street) before the all-access Yaletown Shopathon. Enjoy 20% OFF, complimentary cocktails & gift wrapping all night long! First 10 pps to arrive will also receive a $25 gift certificate towards clothing. Beat the public and get first dibs on all the fancy, beautiful clothing at Boudoir. As you know, they only carry limited sizing of each style. RSVP at rsvp@myboudoir.ca.
On Thursday December 3rd, from 5pm to 9pm, head into Gastown for some great holiday deals. Participating retailers include (212), Block, Dream, Dutil Denim, Obakki, One of a Few, Roden Gray, Rubi & Kino and more!
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.
Shoppers Drug Mart Corporation opened its first Murale store in Vancouver at Oakridge Centre. As I walked into the new venue (located near the food court, on the GAP and Aritzia side), the bright lights, white floor and neatly lined shelves of beauty products mimicked Shoppers’ Drug Mart’s beauty boutique – but much more spacious.
Brands which immediately caught my eye included Cargo, Smashbox, Benefit, Biotherme, Nars, Bobbi Brown…as well as your classic brands like Clinique, Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent.
