I love both brands!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal/page/2#post-1869792 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 13:54:45 +0000 Janet 1869792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, Eliza. My Aquatalias were a deep discount at Rack maybe 2-3 years ago and they are fantastic. It's definitely worth keeping an eye on the sales for Aquatalia. I've never done a thing to that suede and it's weathered (literally) all kinds of conditions.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal/page/2#post-1869737 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 05:40:46 +0000 Eliza 1869737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Nothing tenative about your fashion pursuits, Suz. Each look sings for its purpose and is so you. Love the read and the military jacket. The bonus pic of Mr S is terrific. </p> <p>About waterproof suede: Aquatalia does an amazing job- my black suede ones look new after 5 snowy winters. I was confident enough to try a pair of light gray suede ones this year; fingers crossed. About the price point, options likely vary in Canada, but the Aquatalia brand is now often on sale at Nordstrom and I have found some pairs at the Rack (including online) at 50% off. Still an investment, though the longevity compensates somewhat. Years ago, I rarely saw a good sale on them. Now, it may be worth an occasional search. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal/page/2#post-1869720 Tue, 19 Dec 2017 03:31:35 +0000 Anonymous 1869720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You lucked out with the military jacket. I love the details and the fact that it’s BLUE! Yay!<br /> Super dress and boots.<br /> I am wearing the heck out of my LaC’s and developing a strong loyalty to this brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal/page/2#post-1869626 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 23:02:50 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1869626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's great! I hope you get a few extras as well...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal/page/2#post-1869623 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 22:52:13 +0000 Suz 1869623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An update -- Sandwich is sending me buttons to replace the ones that I have lost! They were super quick to respond!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal/page/2#post-1869618 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 22:38:07 +0000 Deborah 1869618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz that's fantastic shopping.&nbsp; The outfit in #7 is perfection.&nbsp; Love what you have bought this season and the jacket and dress are both great items and I can see you wearing them to death :)&nbsp; &nbsp;It's such a lovely experience to buy in an actual store.&nbsp; To be able to try on, touch the fabrics, chat with the SA... I think it all adds to the experience of purchasing.&nbsp; Like you tho, I am now actually purchasing on line 99% of the time.&nbsp; Our shopping options are SO limited where I am.&nbsp; Ok if you like fast fashion and chain stores but so little else. I think the last significant purchase I made in store was in September. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal/page/2#post-1869613 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 22:05:56 +0000 JAileen 1869613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love love love your military jacket. The dress is cute too. I always love your outfits. (I've copied you several times.) Mr Suz does look like Leonard Cohen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal/page/2#post-1869536 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 18:52:16 +0000 harmonica 1869536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your shopping skills are amazing! I'm in awe. All pieces have a modern classic Suz vibe and you have styled them wonderfully. Red is a gorgeous a colour on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal/page/2#post-1869496 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 17:11:37 +0000 LaPed 1869496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful all around! Smashing in red, as usual. Hope my own DH ages into wearing colour as well as yours does. That lavender shirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal/page/2#post-1869477 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 16:24:40 +0000 Suz 1869477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!</p> <p>Some notes:&nbsp;</p> <p>Sandwich is available in quite a few Canadian boutiques as well as this main stand alone store in Montreal. They cater to over 40 women, which I guess is me but I actually liked some of their stuff when I was younger, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Mr. Suz (alas!) has an awful singing voice. He sounds more like Neil Young than Leonard. But yes, he is the Prepster Chief in our family.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal/page/2#post-1869467 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 16:07:53 +0000 Elizabeth P 1869467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great finds, Suz!&nbsp; They slip so seamlessly into your wardrobe and style... hey, much like Angie's bog post today.&nbsp; I'm intrigued by this brand, and must keep an eye out for it around here.&nbsp; I wish it was easier to find out where lines like this are sold.</p> <p>Looking forward to Part 2 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal/page/2#post-1869461 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 15:42:46 +0000 annagybe 1869461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow great looks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal/page/2#post-1869459 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 15:30:22 +0000 MsMary 1869459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a plethora of fabness! I agree with you that sometimes you just have to get out of the house and actually SHOP! I've found pieces in the actual stores that I would never have dreamed of buying online! Well done, Suz!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal/page/2#post-1869446 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 15:06:39 +0000 Christina F. 1869446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is all great, but I agree with Angie that the bright red looks are particularly awesome. Love that red scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal/page/2#post-1869440 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 14:58:08 +0000 Cardiff girl 1869440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh you really do look fabulous in every photo.I can’t pick a favourite.That s freaky how much Mr. Suz resembles Mr Cohen,has he thought of an alternative career? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal#post-1869435 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 14:50:17 +0000 texstyle 1869435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic all around Suz!&nbsp; Love all the items and outfits on you.

Especially that jacket. I'm glad you were able to find perfect items in person rather than online -- somehow the experience is even better when you can walk out of a store with it! And I really enjoyed the photos on location. Mr Suz looks just as stylish as Mr Cohen!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal#post-1869430 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 14:38:18 +0000 chouette22 1869430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such excellent shopping!

Darn, you have so NOT lost your mojo and instinct for style. Fantastic.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Coincidentally, though I have not bought much this year, what I did buy was also from stores. I have actually enjoyed going to stores and actually touching the stuff.&nbsp; For the last seven years or so , I was overwhelmed in stores and malls.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal#post-1869426 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 14:27:40 +0000 cindysmith 1869426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these!

I know you have worked hard on your wardrobe for several years and it's great to see how once you are in a good place overall, it can be easy to add a few pieces that become instant workhorses. &nbsp; </p> <p>Love your reviews of wintery gear, I always learn so much from your postings, especially footwear. </p> <p>Love your photo of Mr Suz. &nbsp;I see that you are not the only one in your family with a leaning toward prepster style Does he have a singing&nbsp;voice like Leonard's? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal#post-1869383 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 10:07:38 +0000 Style Fan 1869383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did very well Suz.&nbsp; I have always loved Sandwich and was very excited to see that there was a Sandwich boutique in Montreal.&nbsp; The military jacket is great and so versatile.&nbsp; And red is a great colour for you.<br />Love the picture of Mr Suz with Leonard. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal#post-1869381 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 09:53:17 +0000 Mirjana 1869381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW, Suz, all items are beautiful and each piece looks perfect for you. I especially love dress with red, it is your best color I think, red suits you so wonderful. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal#post-1869375 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 08:54:48 +0000 approprio 1869375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Instant workhorses indeed! That jacket is super cute and you can't go wrong with a cozy winter dress. It's been a while since I looked at Sandwich, their knitwear looks very promising.</p> <p>Here's a thought: does a spell of online shopping make us better B&amp;M shoppers? Or do we just get better at backing winners as we get older? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/season-of-bricks-and-mortar-part-1-montreal#post-1869368 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 07:49:15 +0000 The Cat 1869368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds, Suz.

I hope you will frame it and hang it up at home. They are certainly cousins in dapper, at the very least. </p>
