Wow just in time to get in on the Black Friday / Thanksgiving deals of our American neighbors Express Canada opened on November 21st at the Toronto Eaton Centre.
I attended the Grand Opening event with Ella Pretty and we ran into Jenn there too! I have to tell you the place was packed!! It seemed everyone was shopping for everything! From casual, to work wear and holiday dressing. There were plenty of options for everyone. For key looks of the season you can check out the Express holiday catalog.
Here are some items from the Grand Opening event that caught my eye:
I loved this whole outfit on the mannequin! The lace top tucked into the pencil skirt is perfection. It’s hard to see in the picture but this outfit has been dressed up with a sparkly belt. This would be a perfect transition outfit from work to evening. Just throw on a blazer for the office and take it off and bring a clutch for night!
Also…I STILL haven’t jumped on the peplum trend. But this peplum top caught my eye. Why? The back is lace!!!
Again, here I go with the sparkly stuff! I really loved this skirt, but I’m PRETTY sure it is way too short for my liking LOL! Though I can people really rocking this skirt to a great party.
This next item I was so tempted to get…I was carrying it around with me everywhere – so perfect for a holiday party…but the practical side of me took over and I decided to leave it for a girl that has more fabulous places to be
Ella and I had fun trying things on (thank you to her patient husband for snapping some photos!!)
I really, really loved this coat. They had it in so many colours, but I just couldn’t justify getting another coat LOL!
Do jackets count? Hahaha, I loved this faux leather rose coloured jacket. I’m trying on the small here but a kind sales associate scoured the back room for an XS so I came home with it!
I also came home with this dress. I just loved the pattern and I think I could style it for work and for evening.
Check back for future posts to see outfits with my new
Express Canada purchases!
Are you an avid Express shopper? Are you excited that they are expanding in Canada? Please let me know your thoughts in the comments
LOL S – you’re terrible!!!
OMG Ella my feet were KILLING after LOL! I Loooved what you ended up getting your outfit was perfect the other night!
LOVE that coat!!! Not to enable or anything, but at least you live in a locale where coats would get good use
I like your idea of wearing the first outfit for wear and then out at night – you’re so right – it would look so demure with a jacket/blazer – but perfect for a night out too!
The pink moto jacket really suits you – so happy you were able to find a smaller size! I can’t believe we spent SOOOO long at Express LOL!!!
Thanks SL! yes I love that jacket as soon as I saw it I knew it would make my list LOL!
Yeah sales will do that!
The Faux Leather jacket is great, it’s totally your style! I’ve only shopped Express once in the states and I found I liked their accessories more than their clothes. I’m happy they’re now in Canada, I’m loving all these US retailers coming over to our side so we don’t have to deal with duties anymore!
Love the rose blush leather jacket!
Went in the next day and the store was just a hot mess, probably because of the deals. I never expected Express to be that way because it was never Old Navy-messy in malls I went to in the US.
Thanks Jenn! Can’t wait to check out what you got!
So true, I’ll wait for a mega sale then perhaps it will be mine
Love the jackets
Hey Elaine!
That black coat looks great on you! Love the collar. If it goes on mega sale you can justify another one.
That dress will be fun to style.
