    Barneys Warehouse Sale

    The legendary Barney’s warehouse sale is well under way and veteran warehouse shoppers know this is the best time to plan your shopping trip. The sale started with the original Barney’s markdown plus a modest additional 25% off. This discount increases incrementally until the last day. In addition, the sale continues to receive new merchandise from Barneys locations all over the country like LA and Dallas.

    Unlike years past all the women’s ready-to-wear, shoes, accessories and homegoods are on the same floor. In the shoe department you will find loads of cute Lanvin heels between $300 and $449, Givenchy woven heeled booties for $299 and a fair selections of Manolos that cost about $300. Alaia booties are also in the mix, although we spotted no Chanel or Louboutins.

    The contemporary racks are completely disorganized and the designer racks are not much better. Standout leather pieces by The Row included a buttery soft leather skirt and a black suede bustier dress for $559. A Narcisco Rodriguez gray crepe sheath dress with sexy back detailing also rings up at $559. Lots of dresses dominated the racks with frequent Lanvin, Stella McCartney, Proenza Schouler and Balenciaga sightings. A Marni linen dress with polka dots is $519 while a Derek Lam silk blouse is $439.

    The accessories department was plentiful, with tons of Alexander Wang square purses in black and white stingray and patent leather, priced from $395 to $450. We also spotted a gray shearling Nina Ricci hobo for $559. If you need to replace your beach bag, now is the time with a variety of straw totes from $39 to $69. The homegoods section is rather disappointing as usual, even though it is discounted at 40% already. If you don’t mind paying for dry cleaning or to have a zipper fixed, the imperfects rack is now 50%.

    With only an additional 25% off it may be wise to wait until the next price cut at 40% to make your purchase. We suggest checking back in after this weekend for the best prices.

    Via Spiga Boot Addict

    Boots are a crucial part of any fall wardrobe but spending full price on those playful Prada nude and colored leather Mary Jane boots is out of the question. For the meantime you might need an intermediary boot to fill that hole in your wardrobe.

    Today, we were lucky enough to get a sneak peek into the closet at Via Spiga along with celebrity stylist and resident boot expert, Cristina Ehrlich. In the stylists own words, “you can’t beat the prices at Via Spiga for the style and quality that you get; you can walk out with two pairs instead of one!” And we all know, the more boot varieties in your closet, the better.

    Via Spega is offering a wide assortment of suede and leather detailed boots for every occasion starting around $150. An added bonus– the entire previous collection is up to 70% off and shelves are plentiful. Chunky leopard heels, strappy neutral pumps, and neon wedges are included in the sale and run under $100.

    That’s a good reason to grab a pair for for these last few weeks of heat and another for the new season ahead. Of course, you’ll want to get those Prada Mary Jane high boots too… but not at full price!

    Madison Avenue Lululemon

    The Upper East Side’s most popular workout clothing store, Lululemon Athletica, is opening a second uptown location on Madison and 85th Street. This space was formerly occupied by a very large Banana Republic. No date has been announced for the new store but we think it’s safe to make a guesstimate of early-fall.

    Designer athletic clothing has become as popular as high priced gyms in this neighborhood. Over the summer Gap opened their stretchy workout pants emporium, Athleta, on Third Avenue and 85th.

    Both stores are strategically located near gyms. The new Lululemon is downstairs from a luxe David Barton and Athleta is around the block from Equinox.

    Seems as if yoga pants are the new jeans. An American icon in the making? Well, maybe we should hope not.

    Saks 25% Off New Fall Collections

    Stores may be offering customers the best sales of the season but it’s hard not to resist shopping the new fall fashions. Not all hope is lost if the temptation is too strong to resist falling for the looks in the “September issues.” This week, Saks Fifth Avenue is offering shoppers 25% off when you spend over $1000.

    The promotion runs from Thursday, August 25 to Sunday, August 28 and includes fashions from the fourth and fifth floors. Shoes, handbags and accessories are excluded. Collections that are located on these floors are primarily contemporary and diffusion lines like, Marc by Marc Jacobs, See by Chloe, M by Missoni, Milly, Alexander Wang, DVF and Theory.

    We suggest taking advantage of this sale as the first promotion of the season, friends and family, is usually just 20% off. Presale for this sale is already underway and DealGirl has taken full advantage.Those who have disconnected for summer vacation will have to wait until October for friends and family.

    Dolce & Gabbana Open Secaucus Outlet

    Just when you thought that Secaucus was a dying outlet center, Dolce & Gabbana comes to save the neighborhood. The brand’s Woodbury store is under construction and New Jersey is the beneifciary of their wonderful discounted overstock.

    The outlet includes Dolce & Gabbana and D&G for men and women, accessories, shoes and kids. Right now, product from the spring 2011 collection is 50% off, spring 2010 is 85% off and fall/winter 2009 is 85% off. A strapless silk chiffon eyelet dress is $660 from $4,395, black python and patent leather pumps are $112 from $750, a men’s luxury fit suit is $240 from $1595 and a D&G quilted Lily bag is $535 from $1070.

    Those prices deffinitly make an outting attractive. This is also the only location where you can find outleted (yes, we’re making that a verb now) D&G kids merchandise. No one knows how long the Secaucus store will be open, so we’re going to take advantage while we can.
