    True Love

    When it gets this hot in the city most of us Madison Avenue girls skip town for the beach. If you happen to have “social obligations” tying you down to the city you might want to consider finding ways to cool off.

    My personal favorite is Sant Ambroeus. The attitude can run a little thick at this Northern Italian patisserie/bar/restaurant/gelottoria. However, their exquisite, handcrafted gelato and sorbet are the real thing – an authentic Italian treat. The quality is akin to my favorite gelato in Arezzo, Italy.

    I always go for the fruit flavors on a hot day. My first choice is always cantaloupe, but they tend to run out of it early in the day. Second best is a scoop of peach topped on a scoop of mango. It’s sure to bring down your body temperature down at least 10 degrees.

    Saks 2nd Markdown Presale

    My dear friend, Paige Turner reports that Saks Fifth Avenue has started their presale for a second round of markdowns. The sale officially begins on June 11 and June 9th on Saks.com. The markdown is for an additional 33% off for a total of up to 60% off. Saks took their first markdown less than four weeks ago. Seems like a tall-tell sign of a declining economy. It’s a sign of the times… a sign of the times.

    Contact: 212-753-4000 ask for Eric in the Alice and Olivia department. He’s very sweet and will set all of your choice purchases aside until the sale officially starts next week.
