When Gucci goes down you always know YSL is going down too. In price, I mean. Most ready-to-wear is 60% off and most bags and shoes are 50% off and more.
The sale is also online but the in-store discount and selection is much more abundant. I suggest waiting two more weeks and the items you love and the the items you’re-not-so-sure-about will be less expensive.

One of our all time favorite sales of the year was the Spring Dolce and Gabbana friends and family. The sale was invitation only– a hard copy was necessary– and the ENTIRE Spring/Summer collection was 70% off.
Today, 70% off might not sound so novel but in the Wall Street boom economy 70% off was considered a major score. That’s why we were super excited to receive an invite to the upcoming Fall/Winter friends and family. Once we got the actual invite, however, it was a bit of a letdown.
This season’s sale is just 60% off! Can you believe that? The store is already on 50% off. I guess us friends aren’t worth as much as we were six months ago. Well, the invite is here. The private sale runs from Thursday, Dec. 18th to Saturday, Dec 20th. Enjoy the extra 10%.
We happened to do a one-around the store on Friday and there is still a huge amount of inventory. Just don’t be surprised if they reduce prices to 70% off right before or right after Christmas.

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 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.
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.
Chloe just announced an additional markdown. Fall/Winter 2008 merchandise was 50% off and is now 70% off. Paraty bags (what are those anways), frangrances and sunglasses are excluded from the sale but there’s still lots to choose from.

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.

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.
