Adela Mei, run by Stacy Leung and Sasha Moyer, is a California-based, online boutique with a very special focus – petite women under 5’4″.  While their pieces are, for the most part, NOT petite-exclusive (as in the clothes are not petite sized), the aim for Adela Mei is to be a one stop (or rather, […]

J.Crew Brings Petite Denim and Sweaters Back for Select Styles

Shopping, Availability and Living in Canada

I constantly read in retail-related blogs about the “lack of availability” in Canada when it comes to shopping for clothes, shoes and accessories.  And honestly, I can’t say I understand what they’re talking about.  Sure, there are stores that aren’t widely available in Canada, but that’s changing.  J.Crew and LOFT, for example, have been opening […]

Canadian Price, but in USD? Weird J.Crew Prices…Again

I noticed this late Saturday night on the Canadian J.Crew website: USD?  I thought the Canadian website always listed things in Canadian dollars.  Upon checking the US site to make sure we aren’t being charged for duty, I found this: So the prices are different from the US..  However, shouldn’t the Canadian site be using […]
