    Oh, if you're not into the Christmas shopping crowds, the sencond markdown will be reflected online starting tomorrow....

    Bergdorf Getting Competitive

    I just got this email about Bergdorf starting to reduce prices to 70% off. Get there before lines start to form around the velvet ropes, à la Saks.

    Hi!
    We started marking some designer clothes to 70% off. It's not official yet, but if it has the sticker price you can purchase it at the discount.

    While we're on the topic of Bergdorf Goodman, I'll cut you on a little secret. The men' store across the street has the most amazing cafe. There are hardly ever lines and the male eye candy is delicious....

    Big Drop Sale

    I got a sale announcement from Big Drop announcing their "Fall/Winter Blowout Sale." I can't tell if it's a breeze-out sale or a real "blow out" so I will leave that distinction to you.

    Prices have been reduced 20% on all regularly-priced merchandise and an additional 30% off on all sale items. So men's and women's apparel and accessories are all 20% to 70% off.

    Some price examples are as follows: 3.1 Phillip Lim now $160 (reg. $525), an oversized blazer by McQ, now $209 (reg. $646), a lace and silk blouse by Rebecca Taylor now $89 (reg. $230), and skinny jeans by Anlo now $69 (reg. $207).  I can really use some $69 jeans!

     The sale runs from today until Sunday. Let me know what you think.

    Scoop Slashes Prices

    Scoop is finally getting the message that retail industry isn't doing well. I wonder if someone took a blow horn to Stefani Greenfield's ear.  I guess what actually made the Scoop co-founder open her eyes is inconsequential because the store has finally reduced prices to 60% off.



    These prices might make Scoop a bit more attractive to frugal shoppers but it's going to take a bit more to lure back their core business-- the newly penny-pinching parent's of over-indulged teens....

    Nordstrom Update and Clarification

    There seems to be a bit of confusion involving the Nordstorm sale. I followed and it seems as if you have to be a level three card member (spend over $10,000 annually on your Nordstrom card) to receive the additional discount.

    Shoppers in Scottsdale, AZ and Portland, OR report back about getting huge discounts, even on Chanel bags. I will continue to follow up on this unfolding story and I apologise in advance for any confusion. 


    Here are some discount examples sent to me by witnessed other Mad-Spies:

    Chanel is 40% off
    Marc Jacobs 40% + 30%
    Gucci bags 40% + 30% off
    Fendi 40% + 30%

    Don't worry. We'll get to the bottom of this!...
