    Costco NYC Selling Chanel and Rolex

    Today was opening day of Costco NYC and our Kings Highway Spy wrote:

    I was just told Costco, in the City, is selling Rolex watches and Chanel classics.

    Could it be true? Indeed.

    Danica Lo, from the New York Post, was at Costco for the grand opening and reports that there was a “massive wall of Ugg “Ultra” short boots ($124.99), the Chanel classic flap handbags ($1,999.99) and the classic Louis Vuitton “Speedy 30” mini-duffels ($589.99).”

    If Danica is spotting Chanel and LV, we’re sure there must have been Rolex’s too. Who ever doubted that Manhattan Costco wouldn’t be better than all the other 560 Costcos?

    FDR & 116th Street

    Neiman Marcus 20% Off Cosmetics

    If Bloomingdales friends and family won’t give us a deal on cosmetics then we will just have to jump over to Neiman Marcus. All cosmetics –except Chanel, of course– are 20% off through Wednesday, Nov. 11th.

    We know there’s no Neiman Marcus in Manhattan but Paramus, NJ is less than 20 miles away. With all the new taxi surcharges, shipping will cost less money than a 15 block cab ride.

    Running Manolos

    You may be able to run in Manolos but forget about hiding. Racked reports that angry shoe fiends are breaking their heels over the fact that intel on the super secret, hush, hush Manolo sale has leaked into the blogosphere.

    Some Manolo lovers are so paranoid that they are imagining a venue change.

    We say, calm down. You don’t want to twist an ankle. If there’s a venue change we’ll find out and pass on the news. Hey, that’s what spies do, right? Equal opportunity shopping for everyone!

    (You hear that Louboutin VIP Sale?)

    In case you missed it the first time:

    Bloomingdale’s Friends and Family

    Bloomingdale’s friends and family started today and goes until Sun., Nov. 15. Everything (read: except designer merchandise) is 20% off.

    As a matter of fact, several women were in the Chanel accessory boutique trying to convince a sales woman that Chanel should be included in friends and family. The customers insisted they should, at least, get gift card reward for their perchase.

    Yo ladies, it’s not 2008 anymore!

    Even though the discount is not stellar checking out Bloomingdale’s makeover is worth the walk. We were a bit disoriented to start but our nerves settled once we realized Chanel and LV had not changed. Everything else, however, is very different.

    This is no longer your mother’s Bloomingdale’s. The 79-year-old department store has gone high teck. The cosmetic room is innovative and spacious. What struck us most, was the fact that all the cosmetic counters look similar but have been able to maintain their distinct personalities.

    Oh yeah, the David Yurman counter is HUGE and fashion jewelry, which was near the elevators is now tucked away in the back right– where the women’s and men’s stores meet.

    Go, check it out yourself and pick up a little something using the 20% off friends and family discount.

    Tibi Sample Sale

    Feeling chic is an essential part of the Madison Avenue personality. Pulling off the casual chic, however, can sometimes be more challenging than the dressing-up chic. In these times Tibi is an easy stand-by. Eye catching prints and bright colored dresses can dress up the most dismal days packed with errands.

    Sure we love a Crayola colored palate but $300 price tags tend to set us back. Most days, we rather save our $300 for Saks’ third floor or Bergdorf’s second floor. Tibi at a fraction of the price, however, makes our compass turn.

    This week, Tibi is hosting a sample sale at the Coolture space where clothing, swimwear, shoes and home accessories will be priced up to 75% off retail. We are not usually big fans of sample sales but we think this one might be perfect while we bide our time waiting for deep designer markdowns.

    Tibi Fall 2009 Sample Sale
    Date: Thursday, Nov. 11 to Friday, Nov. 13
    Time: Nov 11 1pm-7pm; Nov 12 & 13 9am-6pm
    Address: Coolture Showroom – 409 W. 39th St. (b/w 9th & 10th Ave.)

    Gap 25% Off

    Gap wants you to get a jump start on your holiday shopping and is offering customers 25% off for just this weekend. The discount ends Monday, Nov. 8th and can be used for anything in the store– even sale items. Just present a print out of the image below at checkout.

    This promotion couldn’t come at a better time. We were just thinking we needed to pick up some more of those great skinny jeans we got this summer. And don’t forget about the Stella kid’s collection.

At the last sale, Floriane dresses that retail for $100 to $170 were all $25, sweaters that retail for about $85 were all $20, and skirts there are normally about $100 were $20. IKKS, Cantimini, and Jean Bourget, dresses are were $20, shirts were $10 and winter coats were $40.
