The two most cherished and dreaded words to any shopaholic: WAREHOUSE SALE.  Cherished because, well I think that’s obvious. Dreaded because seeing all those designer pieces for so cheap can cause mass hysteria and debt. Boboli, MaxMara and Blubird are having a warehouse sale for both men and women tomorrow at a temporary store in Oakridge Mall across from MaxMara.  You can get deals from 60-90% off all the best in designer labels.  The sale starts tomorrow and goes on for a few days, so check it out if you’re in the area!  Also don’t forget to visit Blubird this weekend for their Mother’s Day sale, 25% off selected items.

Starting this Thursday Moulé will be having their first ever warehouse sale.  The sale is on until Saturday and will have items up to and even over 80% off!  Moulé carries the very best in designer labels for your closet and your home.  This store is one of my favourite places to go when I’m looking for fun, unique gifts for others – or something funky for my home.  At the sale they will be accepting cash, credit and debit. There is even an ATM on site – for those who get a little too carried away! Also, Moulé is offering $1.00 off your purchase if you bring a reusable bag to put all your fabulous finds in.  So head on down to 1355 Parker Street in East Vancouver to take advantage of some amazing deals on even more amazing stuff!

Today is customer appreciation day at Blubird boutique.  Get 25% off selected Spring and Summer 2010 collections!  Don’t forget to use the code “cinderella” at checkout, because 5% of all profits today will go towards a great cause, the Cinderella Project.

This Saturday, April 10th from 11-7pm LYNNsteven boutique is having the greatest promotion EVER.  Not only are they offering you 20% off your purchase, but the store will be providing champagne and cupcakes while you shop!  My three favourite things in life: champagne, sugar and shopping. These three things are all horrible for me and cause my body and bank account much harm; but who cares, it’s 20% off!  Some of the fabulous new spring labels you’ll find on Saturday are Monrow, Parker, Rory Beca, Paige, Mcginn and Mackage. LYNNsteven is located at 225 Carrall Street in Vancouver.

Looking for hot deals on even hotter clothes?  Then you need to get yourself down to 212 in Gastown for their outrageous sample sale.  212 is a trendy boutique that’s all about bringing the hot trends of New York City to Vancouver at an affordable price.  If your wardrobe could use a little punch, then stop by 212 to give your closet a kickstart.  The sale starts Thursday and ends on Saturday, details above.

Man oh man there are sales happening all over this City!  Another great sale to check out is at Plenty, 30-70% off their fall and winter apparel.  Plenty is one of my usual haunts, they carry a whole slew of great designers.  Even though they have four locations their stores still have a boutique feel to them.  There are so many labels to choose from at Plenty, and even after 20 years in business they’ve managed to stay away from becoming a cookie-cutter store.

It doesn’t take much for me to buy shoes; actually it doesn’t take anything at all.  I’m a shoe slut.  I’ve lost track of how many pairs I own. All I know is my shoe closet is beginning to overflow!  One of my favorite places to buys shoes is Gravity Pope.  Right now the store is absolutely stuffed to the brim with great deals.  They have a special promotion on right now, if you buy 1 sale shoe you get 15% off the sale price, or 2 sale shoes and get 30% off the sale price of both pairs.  Check out their website for restrictions and further information.  Gravity Pope is located at 2205 West 4th Ave in Vancouver.

The sale is on now until Saturday January 30th, unfortunately that is also the day Jonathan+Olivia will be shutting their doors at 2570 Main Street in Vancouver.  But the good news is they are working on their online store so you won’t be without them for too long.  To say goodbye and thank you to their Vancouver customers J+O will have deals as big as 50-90% off!  Now that’s a deal!  For more information or to read their blog you can visit their site at www.jonathanandolivia.com.

Aritzia’s fall/winter sale is still going on and there are some amazing deals to be had.  Selected items are 20-70% off!  Yesterday I went to the new Aritzia in Pacific Centre and was blown away, it’s HUGE!

I’m a sucker for a sale, as soon as I saw those four letters stamped on their window display I got sucked in like it was a tractor beam.   There is definitely something for everyone inside; if you’re looking for a new pair of jeans there are some great deals on denim.  After only twenty minutes I had spent $200!  Some of the items I picked up included a super comfortable grey sweater made by Community, as well as two Talula shirts.  Each item was only $40!  Community makes some of the most comfortable clothing I have ever worn, must be the organic cotton they use.  If you are in the mood for some great deals check out Aritizia!
