Extended Hours and BIG Holiday Deals!

We don't like to rush things like Christmas decorating before we commemorate Remembrance Day at Little Specialty Shop but we do have to plan our holiday events and let you know what's going on. Rest assured, you will not see ANY trees or decorations up until November 12th out of respect and thanks to both our veterans and our soldiers serving now. Little Specialty Shop will close for one hour from 11am-12pm on Thursday, November 11th for our staff to attend the remembrance day ceremonies at the cenotaph. If you are off on Thursday, please consider honouring our soldiers and joining us.

Intimate Apparel - Ottawa area

Hey girls! Have you been thinking about your "un-mentionables"?

Are you concerned about your posture? Have you got a little "back-fat" going on? Do you spend time fiddling with your straps during the day or adjusting your underwire? Have you lost your waist? We can help you find it! I promise, it's still there!
Close to 80% of women wear the wrong bra size. This can cause your shoulders and back to ache - not to mention it can make you appear at least 10lbs heavier than you are! NOBODY needs that!
Pop in for your complimentary fitting anytime Monday to Friday at LSS. A professional, trained, bra fitter is on staff to help you find your perfect fit. Fittings are also available MOST Saturdays -it's best to call ahead to make sure someone is there to fit you if you're coming in on a Saturday though.

Our next Bra Fit Day is scheduled for Saturday, October 2nd.
You must reserve an appointment for this event. A $10 fee reserves your space
and gives you a $10 coupon - good towards one regular priced, in stock bra on October 2nd.
Join us October 2nd from 10am - 3pm to:
*view our new lines
*save up to 50% on select bras
*save on SPANX and SHORT Unbelievabras - Oct 2nd only
*use your $10 coupon
*benefit from the expertise of 3 bra fitters that day

To reserve your space:
Call the shop at 613-283-8142
or email Vickie at mevickie@gmail.com

JAG jeans, Lindsay Phillips leather shoes, Strapless bras, NEW fashions and more!!!

The JAGS have arrived!

Thank you for your patience with the JAG jeans delay this season! We now have 8 styles to choose from, including 3 styles in petite fit. If you haven't tried JAGS yet, you don't know what you're missing! These jeans are one of Oprah's faves and definitely carry "Vickie's" stamp of approval. Far from a mom jean, they have a mid-rise and a tummy tuck panel that slims you by 10lbs! Need I say more?


Vickie's been shopping!
Vickie and Jodi spent the day today shopping Toronto's wholesale district for some super fall fashions! Jodi, when asked, will compare it to spending the day in the Sahara desert. It had to be 100 degrees in these warehouses and much of the day was spent on ladders scouring racks up top for the sizes and colours we needed. Trust us when we say that it's not as glamourous as you might think!

We did, however, get lots of great stuff for your fall wardrobe. Lots of basic pieces to mix and match with what you already have, freshening up your look for fall.

Wanna lose 10lbs?
Spend just 30 minutes in the fitting room with a Little Specialty shop Bra fitter and come out feeling lighter, and more secure than ever before! The right bra puts your breasts where they should be, giving you the illusion of a waist, and making you appear 10lbs lighter. HONESTLY! If you suffer from back and shoulder aches, or are just unhappy with the look or feel of your bra, it's time for a fitting! If you haven't been fitted yet this year, it's time for a fitting! If you adjust your bra AT ALL throughout the day, it's time for a fitting!
PS-our new line of strapless bras should be in today:)

....... we'll see you tomorrow for that fitting!........



New items arrive daily at LSS!

We'll be moving the shop around AGAIN tomorrow to make room for all of the new fashions that we'll be unpacking. That's the third time this week that we've had to re-merchandise to make room for all of the great fall stuff!

Breakfast is on us!
Once you get your little ones off to school next Tuesday, why not join us for a complimentary homemade breakfast and some retail therapy?

We'll be serving homemade muffins, fruit, orange juice, and coffee along with emotional support where needed:)

How many of you remember our campaign to join in the 3/50 project in 2009? It seemed to me that "Shop Local" was kind of a "buzzword" then. Some of us have forgotten just how important it is to support our independent retailers. These are our neighbors, friends, even family and their living depends on us supporting their businesses. I know that there's a lot of choice out there for us and we're awfully close to that US border and I know that sometimes we want brands that are not readily available here-however, when you CAN find something locally, it's always a good idea to do so. Remember, small businesses create jobs in our community and we give back. Please consider supporting our independent retailers as much as you can and our community will be a better place for it.
For every $100 you spend in a local small business, $68 gets filtered back into your community. It's a win-win!

See how you can become involved in the 3/50 project here
Happy Shopping!


FREE! Mark your calendar NOW!
After you get the kids on the bus on Tuesday morning, September 7th, join us at LSS for a complimentary breakfast. We know you'll have had a busy, busy, morning without any time to yourself.

The countdown is ON!

Unbelievabra restocked!

Many of you have been waiting (yet again) for the Unbelievabra to be re-stocked. GOOD NEWS! The boxes arrived late today - triple the stock of any other order so we're hoping they last the week and that everyone who's been waiting can get one. If you have a specific size on order, we'll be sure to call you that it's in. If you've been waiting to try one on, you know you need to get in here quickly - no pressure - it's the nature of this product. Women put it on and walk out in it - it feels THAT GOOD.

Bring us your outdoor lanterns, tables, patio furniture, loungers, etc and we'll turn it into something great! Clear out the clutter, make some room and some $$ to put towards something new for you.

We're also looking for desks, dressers, trunks, etc to add to our children's shop.
