A Gift for Me: Today’s Showstopper at The Shopping Channel

November 18, 2014 By Lena

NOTE: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

The best part of waking up? Nope. Not coffee in your cup.

It’s emails from my favourite shopping destinations announcing fabulous deals I must act on! Before I get out of bed! (And definitely before my husband rolls over and catches me shopping on my phone. Again.)

Such was the case this morning. My good friends at The Shopping Channel sent me a very special tip on Today’s Showstopper:

Lucent 14K Gold 88 Facets Martini Rope Border Earrings made with Swarovski Zirconia

TSC Price: $119.99
Today’s Showstopper: $88.88
Your Savings: $31.11

10 Years of Fashion… Plus a Showstopper!

October 18, 2013 By Lena

If you’ve been reading my blog over the last few weeks, you’l know that fashion’s favourite season is upon us! There’s just something about the transition from tank tops to tall boots that has every stylista craving a change of pace, scenery, and of course – wardrobe!

One of my favourite places to check out affordable Fall fashion? The Shopping Channel (TSC). And now, they have even more covet-worthy collections to add to your list from Montreal-born, New York-based Canadian fashion designer Guillaume Poupart.

“As one of the most coveted TSC designers, Guillaume’s exclusive collection of modern and sophisticated – yet affordable – fashions have been worn by thousands of Canadian women. Featuring true style staples for the upcoming season and beyond, Guillaume’s collection combines fashion and function with his iconic best-selling washable suede, and versatile pieces perfect for the office or a night out, including edgy leather jackets and trendy knit blazers.”

Now I’ve got 3 AMAZING tidbits to share with you, including a HOT DEAL and a FAB CONTEST! You won’t want to miss this. 

First, the news of the day: Today’s Showstopper at The Shopping Channel is this gorgeous Guillaume Winter Glamour Reversible Jacket, for just $159.90!

Keep cozy and bundled up this season in this reversible faux fur coat from Guillaume. This winter essential was specifically designed for Canadian women who want warmth, style and practicality all in one timeless coat. It is cut with Guillaume’s signature princess seams, giving you ample room to layer while keeping your figure as trim as possible. The fabric side is made of water resistant microfiber and the fur side is a faux sheared mink that is ultra-soft and cozy.

Available in a variety of modern styles, this stunning reversible coat was crafted exclusively for The Shopping Channel and it’s only available here. (You’ll also save an additional $9.98 because shipping on this item is FREE!)

• Realistic fur trim around the hood, front placket and cuffs add the perfect touch of luxury and glamour
• Cuffs are adjustable and can be rolled up or down
• Pockets on the faux fur side are lined with plush velvet that will keep your hands warm
• Faux horn buttons and elastic loop closures at the front replicate the look of real fur lined outerwear
• Button closure, slim fit, water resistant on fabric side

Okay, here’s the deal. Normally I’m not a fan of the faux fur look, unless it’s understated. So you’d think that I’d like this jacket when it’s reversed to the fabric side with fur accents. However, the good folks at The Shopping Channel sent this very coat (pictured right) to me earlier this week, and I AM IN LOVE with the all-over fur look! It’s a stunning coat and I can’t wait for winter to arrive so I can show it off. And at just $159.90, I can certifiably confirm that this is a STEAL of a Showstopper!

Check out all the fabulous colour options here.

(For sizing reference, I was sent a Small and there’s a LOT of room. I’m normally a Medium (size 6-8) so if you’re unsure of sizing, go down a size or you may find the coat a tad too roomy.)

Second, here’s a fab contesting opportunity: Purchase ANY item from the Guillaume fashion line before 11:59pm on October 19th, and you’ll be automatically entered to win a $500 shopping spree of the Guillaume collection!…

September 30, 2012 By Lena

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

Two Words: Today’s Showstopper.

Chances are, if you’ve ever tuned into The Shopping Channel, you’ve succumbed to the lure of a Showstopper. Think about it – the best brands – or new ones you NEED to know about – at AMAZING prices for one day only! It’s a Canadian shopping tradition, folks.

Well, set your alarms friends!

National Shopping Day also serves as the unofficial kick off to the holiday shopping season, and with only 84 days between October 1st and December 25th (YIKES!) to get it all done, there’s no better time to get shopping.

On the ballot for this year’s National Shopping Day? How about a sweet 3-piece Expandable Spinner set from the travel experts at Heys Luggage, Clyburn Booties – which are must-have footwear from Hush Puppies, a 7-piece kit from the makeup moguls at Cover FX, and a 9-piece cleaning kit from the mess-free magicians at Ultimate Cloth. Of course, ALL of the showstoppers will be at exclusive prices that can’t be found anywhere else!

(Want to plan ahead? The prices will be revealed tonight at 10:00pm, and if that Heys set is anywhere near the number I’ve got in mind, you can bet I’ll be jumping all over it tomorrow. Luggage is the first thing on my shopping list this fall!)
