I've just had a quick browse thru the website - great prices and selection! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attention-canadians-have-you-met-simons#post-898168 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 01:41:32 +0000 Krista 898168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Simons is awesome! It's the one store I make sure I go to when I visit Montreal. &nbsp;I agree with Nicole that the Contemporaine line is very nice and totally on-trend. &nbsp;I've also purchased housewares there as well&nbsp;- tablecloths, placemats and dish cloths - because they are generally more modern and better quality than what I've found in Ottawa.<br /><br />Actually, there was a report just last week that Simons will be coming to Ottawa in the next few years.... around the same time that we get a Nordstrom's....... Here's a recent newsclip about it:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/simons-coming-to-ottawa-rideau-centre-1.1213947">http://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/simon.....-1.1213947</a><br /><br />Shopping trip to Ottawa, anyone? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attention-canadians-have-you-met-simons#post-897863 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 22:39:22 +0000 Gaylene 897863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hey, we Canadians need to stick together when it comes to shopping. And it's nice to know, Nicole, that you had a good experience using the online shopping site. I was really surprised at what was available in the B&amp;M store--much more extensive (especially in the designer area) than the online site, so it would be nice if some of those designer labels filtered down to the online shop. It seems like Simons is testing the demand for its styles outside of Quebec.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attention-canadians-have-you-met-simons#post-897756 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 20:46:12 +0000 Mia 897756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The faux leather sleeved trench is calling my name! Looks like a great selection all round. &nbsp;Do you have any other gems like this Gaylene?<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attention-canadians-have-you-met-simons#post-897679 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 20:01:08 +0000 Nicole D 897679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have ordered from Simons. &nbsp;Great customer service. &nbsp;Twik is too juniors for me but Icone and Contemporaine are a good style fit, very on trend. &nbsp;They don't seem to have very many sales though, but their everyday prices are OK. &nbsp;I recommend them. &nbsp;Haven't bought any of their housewares though. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attention-canadians-have-you-met-simons#post-897611 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 18:57:50 +0000 Glory 897611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gaylene - those are so much fun.

I discovered it a couple of weeks ago and was so happily surprised. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attention-canadians-have-you-met-simons#post-897551 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 18:15:58 +0000 Suz 897551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ WOW!!!<br /><br />Gaylene, this is the best news I've had all month.

I hadn't heard this! Thanks for this, I shall enjoy checking it out.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attention-canadians-have-you-met-simons#post-897461 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 17:10:12 +0000 Mia 897461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Curated mix?! &nbsp;Right here in Canada. &nbsp;Be still my beating heart.<br /><br />I have been to Simons while in Quebec but had no clue about the website.&nbsp; This sounds dangerous what with the free shipping and returns. &nbsp;Our own little Net a Porter? &nbsp;I will definately check it out. &nbsp;Thanks for the info. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attention-canadians-have-you-met-simons#post-897453 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 17:05:54 +0000 Gaylene 897453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Maybe this is a case of where this is old news to everyone except me, but my sister and I recently wandered into the new SIMONS store in West Edmonton mall. We were both totally amazed, not only at the store design (which has been lauded in the press) but also the selection--and, best of all, <i>a website that offers free shipping and returns <b>in Canada</b></i><b>.</b><br /><br />Apparently Simons is quite familar name in Quebec since La Maison Simons has been around since 1812, but has just expanded outside of Quebec by opening a store in Edmonton this past year.<br /><br />The website is totally curated mix of mid-level designers (Vince Camuto, T Tahari, Michael Kors, etc.) along with the house brands Twik, Contemporaine, and Icone. In the actual stores you'll find designers like Celine, Judith and Charles, DVF, Lanvin, and that ilk. The house brands are relatively inexpensive but with interesting cuts and shapes; construction and fabrics also seem quite good for that price point; check out the link below:<br /><a href="http://www.simons.ca/eng/categories/women/lookbook" rel="nofollow">http://www.simons.ca/eng/categories/women/lookbook</a><br /><br />I bought a Contemporaine blazer and straight-legged pants, along with a pair of white wool Judith and Charles trousers (marked down to $55!) while I was in the store. The Contemporaine pieces were the same size that I usually take in J Crew and BR. I haven't yet ordered from the website, but with free shipping, delivery within 3-5 business days, and free returns (automatic before 40 days, contact a rep for a return after that), I've no doubt I'll remedy that quite quickly.<br /><br />
