The Scarf-Optional, Neck-Draft-Proof Winter Coat

$225 / $350

I think Aritzia felt bad about their previous “sales” too—why else would this winter staple, the Babaton Cobie coat, be on offer for 36% off (and not even part of a secret sale)? aritzia.com

Matrix Reloaded and Insulated

$99.95 / $195.99

Bomber cuffs and satiny fabric take Neo’s retro floor duster into 2018/2019 (and it’s 45% off y’all). Pair the Simons Modern Trench coat with anything from workwear to tapered athleisure and sneaks. simons.ca 

Flower Dress Shirt to Please Grandmas

$59.99 / $125

Fancy Party Polish

$10 / $22

Sephora has a sale on Deborah Lippmann (which is nail polish that’s free of formaldehyde, toluene and dibutyl phthalate), but we did the math and the DL discount at Kitsilano’s Beauty Bar is even better. beautybarcosmetics.com
