Having been open for only a couple of years now, both the Aritzia and TNA stores in Whistler couldn't have had better timing to make it big with the Olympics bringing in people from all over the world (see next post) to it's tiny town. You actually have to keep an eye out for them, since they're tucked away in the middle of souvenir shops and I'm not gunna lie... even I missed them my first time around the village, walked right past them and got lost. With that being said, foot traffic isn't even close to being as crazy as what we were all used to from back home (especially for the TO girls), and even though we were all incredibly excited to be sent out to help run the store, we all joked around about how they were doing it to give us a break, haha. True or not, it was certainly refreshing to be out of a mall for once and I especially loved the idea of literally being able take a breath of fresh air while running across the street from store to store to grab a size or say what's up. I also fell in love with the whole Whistler mentality that they have going on there: think chill and down for anything, which I was able to feed off of straight from the local girls* there and decided to take home with me. Let's see how well that works out back here in the city, shall we?
