the reporters like that wasnt much of a discount, chicks like i dont care, i really wanted it. those discounts were really hurtin, 5 bux off, cheap ass store.

hahaha ARITZIA!!

I worked 13 hours boxing day, none of my staff worked more than 8. It ran really smoothly at my store because I had organized my day basically down the the minute. Coach across the street had a HUGE lineup all day because they didn't have enough staff working so they only let in 30 people at a time. Yikes.

After work I bought 3 pairs of ballet flats from Sterling Shoes for $70 - great deal considering regular price on each was $100+. I also got 6 DVDs and 2 CDs from HMV for $44.

Today I popped into the Body Shop and got a Satsuma/Coconut gift set - 2 body butter, 2 body scrub, 2 body wash (all full size) scrubber brush and shower poof - and a pomegranate body butter and body wash and 400mL mango body wash...all for $101!! This is by faaaaaaar my favorite purchase!

There are definitely some awesome deals out there! I was pleasantly surprised!

aritzia was decent enough. managed to get a dress on sale...which i would have paid full price for.
lucked out with no change room or purchase lineups.

the other stores were shit. the boxing day hurricane came thru and made me remember why I wait untill the spring stuff comes out...

it's waiting or online shoppiing for me.

That or going to a particular mall (outside of the downtown core) right when it opens, and then frolicking across the border. That was a good year, Ash.

I worked a split on boxing day that turned into a thru because of all the hungry shoppers. I also worked yesterday but took some time in the evening to shop and was totally disappointed. Everything I tried on was all wrong... So I'm going again today and hoping to have more luck by trying some different stores I couldn't get to before they closed last night.

I went to Voltage right when they opened. No line, not that many people, picked up a whack of toys and shirts, then went back home and hung out with friends.

Good times, no stress.

Update: Went yesterday before my hair app't and did some power shopping with Chris. Picked up a black tank, charcoal leggings and a purple dress from Aritzia, as well as a poppy/indigo/cream top and ink blue purse from Plenty. :D
