stuck with a gift card?

I love the whole idea of Card Cash. You know how you receive those gift cards from someone who really doesn't know you all too well, and it ends up being a place where you would never even go? Well Card Cash has a solution which gives you money for the gift cards that you do not want. Although the website is not the most appealing, think about getting money back up to 92% of the value!! It also works the other way where you can purchase others gift card at 15% off! ♥

bye bye fake designer merchandise

Canal Street in New York is known for their fake designer merchandise. But this will soon come to an end as there is a new bill which will punish those who purchase the knockoffs. If caught purchasing, the shopper will face $1000 fine or a year in jail. ♥

Bergdorf Goodman movie?

Because of the success of several fashion documentaries, the newest one in the works is titled Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf Goodman. It will be all about the beloved 5th Ave store. The documentary will be released on Bergdorf's 111th anniversary, next year. ♥

H&M's new Fashion Against AIDS campaign

A bunch of new stars are taking on H&M's unisex collection for Fashion Against AIDS. 25 per cent of sales will go towards HIV and AIDS prevention. The collection will hit stores April 28. I'd have to say the campaign looks fresh. Check out the collection on Vogue UK. ♥

Gisele x H&M gets covered up

Gisele Bundchen has altered her wardrobe slightly in her H&M Spring Campaign in Dubai. It is to fit the market of the Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE. The Gulf Cooperation Council solved the issue of the supermodel showing to much skin by covering her up with an inner shirt. ♥

Topshop in Canada?

Best news I've heard all day! Just announced today, The Bay now has EXCLUSIVE rights to Topshop & Topman. That means that they are going to be in 50 locations across Canada announced by Bonnie Brooks, the chief executive of The Bay. I guess this is the closest thing to the actual Topshop.

The Bay is to open a store within a store in its top locations. I am extremely excited, but I hope it still is as good as it is in Europe! ♥

shop before the shop

Aritzia is blowing up more than ever, and it makes me proud to be apart of it and watch the Company grow! We have opened up our location in Soho. That's right, Soho in New York. Such an amazing achievement. Aritzia couldn't have picked a better location on Broadway and Spring! I want to be there NOW! ♥

Dakota Group Blowout Sale

So I missed the last one, but my friend went and got a fabulous navy winter Mackage jacket which I am completely in love with. I guess I'll just have to clear my schedule and get down there! ♥

rumour to reality

I know this is a very local Vancouver thing, but rumours are becoming reality for Forever 21. They are said to hit Robson Street, taking over Tsunami Susi, El Kartel and Aldo. Now that's prime location. It will be a two level store, but their still in the works of trying to work out the details. Not sure if Aldo will still be there or what. But this is a big deal! ♥

H&M x Hasbeens

On April 20th H&M will release their collaboration with Swedish Hasbeens, known for their clogs. As we've seen, clogs are making a comeback. They are inspired by the '70s clogs, but are made of eco-friendly materials. The collection will range from $59.95 to $69.95. ♥

the expansion of Michael Kors

The CEO of Michael Kors, John Idol, and the designer himself, announced the lifestyle flagship store will be 610 Fifth Avenue. It will be 7000 square feet and have 15-foot ceilings with white marble floors and other typical Kors details.

Kors says, “The opening of my lifestyle flagship boutique at Rockefeller Center is an extremely humbling and exciting reality. As both a designer and a native New Yorker, what could be more incredible than a store in the heart of the city at Rockefeller Center?”

I would have to agree with his statement. Michael Kors will also have a Michael Kors Lifestyle location in Vancouver! Which I'm excited about. It will be in a beautiful building in Pacific Centre on Georgia and Granville. I guess ours is one of the 175 stores world wide. ♥

everything moving North

First Target, buying over Zellers, and now Antropologie coming to Vancouver! What is this madness. Rumour has it, it should be here Srping 2011 apparently at the old Urban Planet on South Granville. Thank God they got rid of that. I guess since it's little sister, Urban Outfitters moved here, they too would follow! ♥

Walmart here to stay?

I remember when I was in New York they were debating whether or not Walmart should really be in New York. The City seemed to be pushing them out. Because of this debate, Walmart has launched WalmartNYC.com to show New Yorkers that they are wanted. ♥

H&M gives hope to bloggers

Yesterday, H&M announced that they were collaborating with fashion blogger Elin Kling from Style by Kling. Unfortunately, the collection will only be sold in Sweden on February 3rd. There will only be 9 garments and 2 accessories. A fairly small collection, but nonetheless, amazing! So jealous! ♥

Errol Flynn

A source of vintage, I am loving the collection of Errol Flynn ensembles and the modern-vintage clothes they find. They are currently teaming up with vintage store F as in Frank here in Vancouver. I checked out the Errol Flynn eBay account and fell in love with a couple pieces to place bids on! <3
