Scoop More Discounts?
Last week, Scoop touted it's 60% off price reduction. This week, they are advising of an additional 50% off. I don't know if the final reduction is now 80% with the combined discounts or some other combination of fuzzy math.
You check it out. I'll check it out. Then we will swap sale stories.

ABC Carpet Friends and Family
ABC Carpet is one of those stores that makes you want just about everything in the store. It has a certain magical aura almost like a giant candy store of of home decor. Just don't be surprised if your wallet gets a stomach ach from too much once you get home.
Besides for ABC's renouned prices they are also known for their bi-annual sales. Insanely extravagant items are dramatically reduced twice a year. If you miss those sales you're usually out of luck. However, we have a private friends and family discount that allows for an extra 20% off all week long.
Buy new bedding or deck the hall with boughs of holly. Just don't forget to invite us over for your next blow-out.

Marc Jacobs Mercer Street 90% Off
Seems as if all the Marc Jacobs sales have caused some confusion. The BIG sale is actually at the Mercer street location in the village. The discount is 90% off and the line to get in is as bad as you would expect.
Read this before heading out:
i was outside mercer at 11am. the line is massive, it's all the way down mercer, and around the block, wrapping around the mercer hotel. it's moving 10 feet every 15 minutes and there are just so many people waiting, it must be at least 1 1/2 hours' wait for people who got to the line at 11am prompt. people were leaving the sale with lots of huge, stuffed shopping bags though!
Those who braved the cold were able to score some incredible deals. One woman picked up two bowler style bags, which were $150 each from $1295. Seems like someone who is a bit entrepreneurial and warm blooded could make a killing just waiting in line for shoppers....

Gucci 2nd Markdown
The Gucci discount still isn't as good as the Saks sale but we're getting close. And think, it's not even Christmas!
Most ready-to-wear, shoes and bags from the Fall/Winter collection are now about 60% off. These 'babouska' boots were a hot ticket in the department stores and are now $559 redcued from $1390.

Marc Jacobs Sale Continues
SoHo is a-buzz because Marc Jacobs store is consolidating all it's Fall/Winter merchandise and blowing it out. Starting (officially) Saturday, Dec 12, bags will be added to the 70% off sale. Some pre-sales were done Thursday but the phone-in orders became too overwhelming considering the inventory hadn't even arrived. The shipment should, however, be in today.
This Blake usually runs for about $1000 and is now $300.
There are many colors and styles on their way. If you're a MJ fan you might want to start lining up outside with a pot of coffee right about ... now.

National Jean Company 40% Off
The only thing harder than shopping for a bathing suit is shopping for jeans. At least a bathing suit only takes you to the beach or pool area. Jeans need to be worn during the day, a casual night out, with heels, with flats, when it's raining and cold, when it's hot and sunny. You get the picture. They are a staple of our every day life.
So when it comes to picking up a pair there is a reason for distress. Does my butt look flat? Are they too light? Am I spilling out over the top like an over cooked muffin? When i bend down does an audiance get a full moon or just a slither? (Both unacceptable.)
The dread of denim.
Then there's the multitude of brands to choose from: Citizens, Sevens, Rag and Bone, J Brand, Paige, Raven, True Religion, Joes. I personally can't keep up with it all and nor do I want to. For this reason, I look for the store with the most informed sales associates. Yes, Bloomingdales, Barneys, Saks and Bergdorfs all have enough jean stock to pave an interstate highway. But all these department stores are lacking experianced and knowledgeable sales help.
National Jean Company has become my one stop go-to store for all things denim. You tell their sales help exatly what you want-- dark wash, high rise with a slight boot-cut-- and they pull a few suggstions in your size. You try them on and I promise you're out within 20 minutes.
Besides saving you time and anguish National Jean Company is offering customers 40% off eveything in the store from Friday, Dec. 12 to Sunday, Dec 14. That deffinitly comes in handy since the prices of premium jeans are up over 100% in the past four years. That too is about to change!
