The New Kid on the Block - Yaletown Sofa

So sorry, I've been sick. Working on getting more Granville news to you. A special post from a new guest blogger, Celia Cat, whilst I recoupe. Enjoy!

Need a cute, new look for the living room? Get that loveseat you’ve always wanted... at an affordable price! Yaletown Sofa Co. has just opened a clearance centre on the corner of Granville and Nelson (That’s right, clearance. Don’t you love that word?) Whether you looking for leather or fabric, ultra-modern or conventional, you’re bound to find that perfect something for your home. And you can expect to get up to 70% off the regular price at this new location!

I found this Nolan sofa in Zara Chamomile, originally $999 but marked down to $699. Comfy yet classy, perfect for the living room. And as if the savings weren’t great enough, this location is offering an additional 10% off clearance prices for the next week (from April 17)! There’s never been a better excuse—I mean, time—to shop.

Sterling Shoes: 50% off

Love saving money on shoes? Well I have a sale for you! I was pleasantly surprised to see the sale Wall O Shoes a la Sterling include men’s shoes as well. Get an additional 50% off the last marked price.

Sweet find: a pair of Nine West heels that were originally $114.98, now marked down to $59.96, plus an additional 50% off = a steal of $29.98.

Guys, I found a nice pair of Kenneth Cole black dress shoes which also came in brown, marked originally $134.99 but now a scandalous $49.99. Please bury those manky old runners.

Holt Renfrew's Intimate Apparel Week


From Sunday April 6 - Saturday April 12, Holt Renfrew is hosting a Womens' Intimate Apparel Week.

In celebration of Intimate Apparel week, receive a gift with any purchase of Lingerie (such as Vera Wang, Elle McPherson) and Swimwear (Jets, Wolford). One per customer, while supplies last.

I love whiling a few hours away in Holts... walking around and seeing the latest trends in fashion and make-up. It always smells great, non? The new location is really beautiful, with the cafe to open soon. If you haven't come down yet, I'd take a peak.

The brand new Cafe Artigianno is open across the street too, if you want to grab a coffee. Shopping's hard work after all.

Shoe Sale at Fluevogs

Sale items at John Fluevogs along the 800 block. Click here to see other sale items




The Red Ochre with Desert Sand Rosita shoe (left) is pretty cute with jeans and now is on sale for $99. As always Fluevogs are a high quality shoe with a comfortable fit.

Teapot Pekoe in dark teal and warm grey has a cute knot with attractive slingback. A well crafted heel that won't wobble when you traverse down the streets of Granville. $149 from $255 (original price).

Great news: There's still street parking in front of the store. You might get lucky and snag a spot.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday... TGIF!


I just love this sexy spin on your weekly undies by Mary Green. These silky boy shorts have each day embroidered on the leg and look good on any butt.

Regular price is $134.00 but now only $107.95 for the lot of 7. Comes in small, medium and large, with a lovely embroidered gift bag. Also available in cotton for $86.95.

This luxurious treat can be found at Scarlet Lingerie at 460 Granville St.
