American Apparel Montreal Warehouse Sale 2012

American Apparel extended their summer warehouse sale until LATE December! I've been there quite a few times, trying to find things in my size or just checking out the new stock. It's a tad more expensive than the sale from 2 years ago? But items this time around are in far better condition! I can't afford American Apparel items unless it's from the warehouse, I can't justify spending so much money on items. And even on sale I don't think the prices are of my range.


I went a little denim crazy during these trips.... ( mainly because I went to procrastinate from my school work, still am right now. I have 3 days off until my next exam) and I bought a few pairs of tights! They were giving a free gift with any purchase also, so I got a Legalize LA tee, mesh leggings and a cotton bra.

I mainly bought my first pair of Easy Jeans because I saw pictures of Miley Cyrus wearing them. She looked amazing in them, so naturally I wanted a pair for myself! Candids of her from earlier this year have been making her my fashion inspiration.

Easy Jeans... as you can see are my favorite. These were $35 a pair compared to the original $82 per pair! I bought them in 3 colours because they are just that comfortable!  I don't even feel like they're denim... they're most probably not. I feel like they're probably a jegging material or a very stretchy denim. Sizing is a little weird, I don't think AA denim/pants are made for curvier women. I'm about a size 6 or 8 UK and I range from XS to M in these Easy Jeans, RIDICULOUS. They really need to expand their sizing and acknowledge that there are curvier women who want to buy their items.

I bought other items at AA but I don't find them that aesthetically pleasing to take pictures of... tights out of their original packaging? But another reason is that I find tops hard to photograph, maybe I'll find another way to take pictures of them?

American Apparel Nail Polishes

My TeamBuy ticket was about to expire soon so I went to American Apparel last week and picked out some nail polishes. I don't know how I feel about them yet, but Cooney Island (light pink) really doesn't suit my skintone... Rose Bowl comes out brighter on the nails than it is in the bottle. I'm wearing Echo Park (light grey) right now and it's a wearable on me. It suits my neutral nail polish mood as of late. But I think I prefer other brands. The colors in the American Apparel range were either too weird or too ordinary.

American Apparel Free Shipping Code

I've made a few posts about American Apparel and you might think I'm this HUGE AA fan. But I'm really not. I only shop their sales and only have a few items from that store. (Because quite frankly the brand is kinda overpriced for me..)

And for those of you who don't subscribe to the AA mailing list, they are offering FREE SHIPPING to any orders (no minimum purchase) with the code ZEROSHIPPING until January 22nd!

I just placed an order on a small black Pique Cross Front Jumper. I've been eying this for the longest time now since I've seen an acquaintance wear it a few years ago. Yes... not months but years. I could never justify paying full price. But it's on sale now for $24 and with free shipping, so why not?!

TeamBuy X American Apparel

I was super excited when I saw that American Apparel was holding a week long offer on TeamBuy this week. One new deal every day for an entire week! American Apparel is a little pricey and I like it when I can score a deal.

TeamBuy is a Canadian site that offers discounted deals on various things. From restaurant deals to electronics to clothing to outings, etc. But the catch is that there is a minimum number of buyers that need to be met before the deal can be validated. Usually the minimum is around 10 buys and it's easily reached. When the minimum is met, you get an email informing you of that the deal is "on." All you have to do now is go to your "My Buys" page and print/show the ticket at the retailer. I've made several purchases (American Apparel, Yeh!, Cheeburger Cheeburger, Hakata, etc) and never had a problem.

The deal I picked up was 5/$15 Nail Polish. I had just recently bought the Glitter nail polish at American Apparel in Supernova and regretted choosing it over a pale pink. I kept Supernova nonetheless, as it was a nice glitter polish for the holidays. Can't wait to pick these up! I've been on a little nail polish frenzy the last week or two...(I do my nails when I want to procrastinate studying.)

Hurry up and buy these! It ends soon!

American Apparel Warehouse Sale Montreal 2011

American Apparel is hosting it's warehouse sale again in Montreal!
September 16th-21st.

5430 Ferrier Street

Montreal, QC

I was super excited to go to the sale. Last time I went, about a year or two ago, it was horribly messy and I didn't have the patience to dig through boxes to find things. I ended up buying nothing that time. But I regret it now, at least that sale had good stock. This time around... practically everything had a defect of some sort on it; whether it be a hole, stain, broken zipper, etc. It was a warehouse sale, none of the ads advertised damaged items were to be the majority of the stock.

Needless to say I was very disappointed. I'm not a die-hard American Apparel fan and would never go out of my way to buy damaged clothing just because it was cheap (unless it was honestly a couple dollars.) But for the price I was paying at this sale, I wasn't about to pay the amount for defect items. I would have gladly done it if it was in retail condition.. hence a WAREHOUSE SALE. It was not worth the trip at all. It took me about 40 minutes to get there from school and it was cold!

I had a couple of things I had in mind that I wanted to pick up. I ended up only buying 2 items but it was worth it. The hour long wait was horrid. It was drawing closer and closer to noon and i wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything this time. I made sure to walk around the entire warehouse before leaving.


After watching Miss A's "Good Girl Bad Girl" MV a while back, I've always wanted to get the petticoat slip skirt. It's so puffy and feminine and it flows so nicely when it moves. I originally wanted it in black, like Suzy's, but they only had it in white at the sale. I have too much black clothing and white is the alternative color in my closet usually. I decided I needed the white petticoat just as much as the black one to wear with my more feminine pieces.


So I ended up buying the white reversible petticoat slip skirt for $20 (Originally $82 CAD) and a plain white t-shirt for $8 (Originally $25 CAD.)

I've wanted an American Apparel white v neck tee for quite a while now. But I could never justify paying the $25 for it. Sure, the quality was really good, but I hardly ever buy things not on sale. (American Apparel "sales" aren't what I call deals.) Anyways I was going to get the organic blend in a size small but then realized there were noticeable stains that were quite large on the back of a sleeve, and that it was probably a unisex small and put it down. I found probably the only XS white v neck in decent condition. Mine had a small brown stain near the V neck. But I decided BLEACH will fix this and grabbed this.

I only bought these two items and do not recommend going unless you want to waste your time. I put down so much stuff while waiting in line to pay. I'd wait for the next sale (which hopefully won't carry as much damaged items.) I should have also looked for some bandeau tops, but the mess in the baby/lingerie/sock area was too much for me to handle. I saw girls waiting in line ahead of me contemplating if they should buy dresses or shirts with cuts and defects. $15 for a dress with a hole in it? $20 for a pen marked skirt? $12 for a lace bodysuit with holes in it? No thank you. Not at a warehouse sale.
