Free Shipping from Roots this weekend!

Roots.com is offering free standard shipping to all Canadian orders online this weekend only! Great time to take advantage of the great online selection without the hassles of the mall parking lot! Could I love this new pink bag more? $98 and it also comes in orange, grape, blueberry and vanilla. Excuse me...I have a sudden craving for a fruit smoothie...

Gap/BR/Old Navy 30% off this weekend!

It's Friends & Family time again at your favourite triple threat: Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy! Great to see many pre-fall pieces are already in stock, and I don't mind telling you that I am swooning over the gorgeous Mad Men-era dresses at Banana, along with their excellent basics (cardigans, non-iron dress shirts, and gorgeous pants!). Oh, and don't forget about GapKids and Baby Gap too! If you don't have a coupon for the event, just email me at vbhughes@hotmail.com and I'll email it to you asap!

Do my hair?

One of my favourite indulgences in life: the Blow Out!
I'm a huge fan of blow-dry salons - the ones that specialize in giving you a quick, awesome blow-out (for a reasonable price) to save all the busy fashionable city gals the time and annoyance of doing it ourselves. A new one just opened on Mt. Pleasant in Toronto - DO MY HAIR - so check it out if you're in a pampering mood or have a special event coming up!

50 Books at 50% Off on Amazon.ca!

I always find Amazon.ca to be cheaper than Chapters/Indigo (their online prices too) - and I mean ALWAYS - not to mention that they are IN STOCK much more often than Chapters/Indigo as well, so I am happy to recommend that you all shop Amazon.ca for these great deals. Oh, and they ship lightning fast for dirt cheap too! This deal of half price on top sellers until August 5th? How can you beat that? For all those upcoming birthdays, you can't go wrong with a good book! You can even pre-order the new Dan Brown book at 50% off, so you Da Vinci code lovers have something new to look forward to!

Perfect Fit Jeans Calculator!

Find the style that will look best on your bod! Sounds long overdue to me! I've wasted enough sweat and tears in change rooms, thank you very much. Kudos to InStyle!

Hate Nail Polish Smudges?

Don't you hate it when you leave the manicure salon only to mess up your shiny new manicure within minutes? Well next time take this handy Orly Smudge Fixer with you and you'll be able to correct nicks and smudges on wet or dry polish without having to remove or reapply the colour! Amazing but true!

Hate Frizzy Hair? Check out this Oprah pick!

Formulated by an MIT scientist (gotta be smart then, right?), Oprah's people highly recommend this anti frizz hair cream that promises to actually work without also making your hair look greasy - even if you use A LOT. It's called No Frizz Straight Making Styling Cream by Living Proof and you can get it at Sephora! How can you argue with science - and even more so, how can you argue with Oprah?
