Fall Fashion at the Ready

Get ahead of the game by checking out this week’s best warehouse sales.

While we were still dreaming of hot weather, patio time and weekend getaways, Fall decided to come up and surprise us from our rather frosty behinds. We figured it’s time to take stock of the new season—cooler temperatures, back-to-school agendas, and all those excellent prospects fashion-wise. There are a couple ways you can fast track this over the weekend.If you missed Gravity Pope’s summer warehouse sale, you’ll be glad to know they open their doors again today for an up-to-90%-off back-to-school sale. While the kids are down with Adidas, we don’t know many who can afford Rick Owens and Maison Kitsune so we’re banking on scooping some of that ourselves. Past experience tells us there will be lines, but if you dig, you’ll yield treasure. The sale starts today and runs Friday (both days 9 am-8 pm), Saturday (9 am-7 pm), and Sunday/Monday (9 am-6 pm). 1695 West Fourth Ave., Gravitypope.com.Meanwhile, that high-street behemoth, Aritizia, heads to the Convention Centre today for their massive blowout this weekend too. Expect your fave lines—Babaton, Talula, Wilfred—with lots of selection. Thursday-Saturday (7 am-8 pm), Sunday and Monday (9 am-6 pm). Vancouver Convention Centre West, 1055 Canada Place., Aritzia.com.
