3 CHEERS FOR CONSUMERISM!

MORE SAMPLE SALEAGE.

This is probably the reason that our Lord upstairs put blogging into my hands. TO TELL EVERYONE WHEN/WHERE TO GET GOOD DEALS.

I truthfully have not gone to ANY this season. SORRY. NOT HAPPENING. I AM TOO POOR FOR THAT. I'm really just saving my pennies to surprise myself with a gigantic birthday present. For myself. From somewhere fancy.

So, without further ado, here's what I've got this week:

Ponyride Agency [home to Sweetees, Necessary Objects and a pile of other brands] is having a majority Ladieswear only sale. CASH ONLY.
225 Chabanel, suite 405 : Thursday, Nov. 6 & Friday, Nov. 7, 9 a.m. - 8 p.m.

Surplus Sunglasses [Tom Ford, Dior, Gucci, Ray Ban, Marc Jacobs & more] -> I went to this one last spring and bought two pairs of sunglasses. It's pretty great if you love sunglasses! They take ALL FORMS of payment!
5249 de la Savane/corner Decarie: Thursday, Nov. 13 & Friday, Nov. 14: 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 15 & Sunday, Nov. 16: 12 p.m. - 5 p.m.

Nuage is outerwear. Coats. I've actually gone there before for coats. Click on the image for the information!

This one my mum sent me. Again, check the image for details. Canadian designers! Free Parking!

Go shop! YAY CONSUMERISM!

Another Sale - Hide Your Credit Cards

Marcelle/Annabelle Cosmetics Sale [HEY, I GOT PICTURES OF THE FLIER. I AM FANCY.]

Special thanks to Disaster Pet for passing this one along. Who knew he liked lip gloss that much?

GUESS WHAT SEASON IT IS??

3 WORDS:

1. SAMPLE
2. SALE
3. SEASON

I thought this time of year would NEVER COME.

So, because I love you all dearly and I implore you to shop like the Ditz, I list for you this month's - SO FAR - sample sales.

Rudsak [leather purses, jackets, accessories]: 9160 St. Laurent, Suite 202
October 16: 10 a.m. - 7 p.m.
October 17: 10 a.m. - 7 p.m.
October 18: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Se Ce Apparel [Juicy Couture, Seven for all Mankind, Vince, Ed Hardy..]: 4910A Jean Talon W.
October 17: 9 a.m. - 7 p.m.
October 18: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

How International [C&C California, Joe's Jeans, Frankie B...]: 6585 St Urbain
October 23: 12 p.m. - 8 p.m.
October 24: 12 p.m. - 8 p.m.
October 25: 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Braderie de Mode Quebecoise [Mackage, Soia & Kyo, Rudsak...]: Marche Bonsecours
October 23: 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.
October 24: 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.
October 25: 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
October 26: 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

I'm sure you're all wondering what's what, what's worth going to, all those kinds of details. Allow me to proceed...

• Rudsak's exclusive sale is pretty decent. Know your prices. Snap up leather jackets if you find one you like. From what I remember, they take cash, credit cards, interac. They just want you to buy. It's worth it if you love Rudsak and/or leather
• Se Ce is that elusive Juicy sale that everyone raves about. That's the one you need to show up hours upon hours in advance. Is it worth it? Yes. Juicy suits at half price. Sevens for $100. Discounted Vince cashmere. They also take all forms of payment. It's obnoxious to wait in line for hours, but it's also obnoxious to pay $250+ for a Juicy velour track suit.
• How Int'l I don't know much about. I saw the event on Facebook. The flier seems pleasant. They ONLY take cash. Keep that in mind if you decide to go.
• Braderie de Mode Quebecoise is top notch. I try to make an appearance every time they have this sale [once in Fall, and once again in late Spring]. The Mackage & Soia & Kyo coats are on sale for MAJOR CHEAPS. They also have a Rudsak section, so if you miss the Rudsak sale, you still have a chance to pick up some purses. There are also piles of Quebec designers who set up shop with samples. Great place to pick up original and unique pieces. Mackage/Soia takes cash only. Most of the vendors are cash only. Marche Bonsecours happens to have an ATM, but bring cash if you're planning on spending.

Enjoy sweet kittens! Be fruitful and SHOP!

Like I Was Seriously Going To Leave My Habitat

Fully spending my day today in bed eating soybeans. Don't judge. I'll leave later for fresh air.

NEWS: still unknown about Juicy, BUT, Matt & Nat is coming up! Here are the dates:
Tuesday, May 13th: 12 p.m. - 7 p.m.
Wednesday, May 14th: 10 a.m. - 7 p.m.
Thursday, May 15th: 10 a.m. - 7 p.m.
Friday, May 16th: 10 a.m. - 7 p.m.
Saturday, May 17th: 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.

It's cash only, so be sure to hit up the bank beforehand!

Is it worth a go? Honestly, yes and no. Yes because the stuff is REALLY cheap (even though they fully keep raising the sample prices. Yes, I noticed.). No, because unless you go right away on the first day, you'll be stuck with awkward orange & green purses. Unless, of course, that's your taste. It's worth it for the wallets and occasional sneaky finds. Will the Ditz be going? Truthfully, unlikely. I am completely willing to go with any of you kittens, should you want to go. I seriously will NOT be purchasing anything this time. Famous last words, eh? Seems like I always say I won't be buying anything AND THEN I DO. UGH. I HATE SAMPLE SALE SEASON. And by hate, I clearly mean love passionately.

Go be fruitful and shop!

Everyone Loves a Quickie (and Ditzes) (obviously)

I tried to send this as a mass Facebook message, but my stupid fingers/stupid laptop decided to be in cahoots and go back on the page without sending. No, fingers. I'm not laughing.

Quick fun fact:

M0851 is having a sample sale this week/end. What's M0851, you ask? Similar to Rudsak in that it's a Montreal leather label that makes purses (among other things). Little bit pricier.

Details:
3981 St Laurent, suite 444
Friday 9-5
Saturday 10-5
Sunday 12-5

Because I missed both Rudsak sales AND Mackage, there is NO WAY IN HADES that I'm missing THIS.

Be fruitful and shop! Enjoy!
Stay stylish! Ditz is done exams tonight!

Selfish/Unselfish Ditz

Selfish: For the first time ever, I slept in the middle of my bed, not curled up on the edge. I've had this bed since I was 16. Best sleep of my life. WITH 4 pillows. There is clearly no room in my bed for any visitors (male or stuffed elephant variety).

Unselfish: I got a terrible phone call just now. Informing me that my FAVORITE sample sale starts tonight and goes until Sunday. This is terrible news because I have 2 exams next week, holidays this weekend AND NO TIME TO SPEND SHOPPING. Why unselfish? In spite of my BITTERNESS, I will share the information with you, my favorite kittens, because if I can't benefit, I want you all to buy beautiful things. http://www.braderiedemodequebecoise.com/S08-edition-eng.htm
That's all the information you'll need. If I was selfish Ditz, I wouldn't tell ANYONE. I've done that before. I know it's not nice. Everyone should own a Mackage coat. Or 2. Or 3.

More later. I promise!
Stay stylish kittens!
xoxo
