Black Friday Haul 2021: Banana Republic Petite & Old Navy Petite

December 1, 2021

Here we are nearly two years into COVID, and it’s shown no signs of letting up. I’d had high hopes when the US border reopened this year just in time for American Thanksgiving, that it would mean I could place a US order and get it shipped to the border. But alas, the threat from… Read More Black Friday Haul 2021: Banana Republic Petite & Old Navy Petite

My Petite Black Friday haul 2019

December 16, 2019

‘Tis the season once again for Black Friday deals. Yep, welcome to my annual post from that time of year when I attempt to get most of my annual shopping over with all at once. This year’s deals and, consequently, haul, were smaller than in previous years. I gambled and lost on a few items… Read More My Petite Black Friday haul 2019

Petite vendredi fou: Black Friday 2018 Part 2

January 28, 2019

Yes, I know that January is nearly over, so it seems a bit silly to be publishing a Black Friday post right now. But, as past years, the bulk of my shopping this year consisted of purchases I made in the US and shipped to the border. I only managed to pick up my items this… Read More Petite vendredi fou: Black Friday 2018 Part 2

Petite vendredi fou: Black Friday 2018 Part 1

November 27, 2018

Another year, another set of Black Friday deals. Or, as it’s referred to here in Quebec, “vendredi fou”. Just like last year, I opted to do a fair amount of my clothes shopping for the year over this week and weekend. For one thing, it meant I could get it over with all at once… Read More Petite vendredi fou: Black Friday 2018 Part 1

In with the new: Black Friday 2017 Part 2

December 16, 2017

I talked about my Canadian Black Friday purchases in Part 1 of this post. Now in Part 2, I’ll give a rundown of what I bought south of the border. For Canadian petites, for whom cross-border shopping is often a matter of necessity, not luxury, it can be the only time of year when prices… Read More In with the new: Black Friday 2017 Part 2

In with the new: Black Friday 2017 Part 1

November 29, 2017

Here in Canada, Black Friday never used to be a thing. But it is now. We’ve gotten into the habit of demanding deals from our local retailers to rival those found south of the border at this time of year, to the point where “vendredi fou” (as it’s been dubbed here in Quebec) is actually… Read More In with the new: Black Friday 2017 Part 1

Out with the old: Closet cleaning tips for petites

November 25, 2017

With Black Friday sales in full swing, it’s that time of year when I actually venture online and shop the sales to purchase some new clothes. It was time to make way for the new by cleaning out some of the old. Yep, this weekend I did the dreaded closet clean. I’m not a pack… Read More Out with the old: Closet cleaning tips for petites

The Little Red Riding Hood Coat

February 21, 2016

It’s a running joke — with a lot of truth to it — that Montrealers need a different coat for every 10 degrees of temperature. While our winters can be bitterly cold, they can also be unexpectedly mild, and everything in between. I have an ultra-warm puffy coat for the really cold weather. And a… Read More The Little Red Riding Hood Coat
