Unlike Artsy Anna, I had to wait (not long) outside the Metropolitan Pavilion North at 6pm last night. The after work crowd were making the mad dash to the Fendi warehouse sale creating a line at the entrance. Once inside, you'll find a large area in the middle where the accessories - handbags, wallets and jewelry - are placed on tables. To the side against the[...]
Artsy Anna made it into the Fendi Warehouse sale this afternoon with no wait. Surprising since this sale often draws a crowd. Here's Anna's initial observation of the first hour of the sale: Fancy fashion house sales tend to draw frenzied crowds and around-the-block long lines. So I was surprised this afternoon when, barely an hour after doors opened, the stanch[...]
Yet another J.Crew sample sale is being held at Clothingline in the Garment District. There have been so many in the past months that I can no longer keep track. Our sale shopping pal, Artsy Anna, stopped into the space this afternoon to scope out the scene. Anna did not find the deals or the offerings enticing at all. Here's what she had to say: I left empty[...]

http://youtu.be/3a3mbGkGtsE Before heading off to the Sunner sale this morning, I thought I'd see what the wait was like outside Clothingline in the Garment District where the Tory Burch sample sale is being held. An hour before the doors opened, the line stretched down West 36th Street. I spotted one woman standing with the other shoppers with a baby in a stroller[...]
In all the running around that Artsy Anna has been doing today, she managed to stop into the Calypso St. Barth sample sale in the Flatiron to give us an update: My dove gray crochet sweater (bought on sale one winter at the Calypso store on Madison Avenue) is one of my favorites. Â I have a vacation coming up so I decided to check out their sale for some new resort-w[...]
Artsy Anna also made her way to the L.A. based label Linea Pelle Collection one-day sale.  Here you'll get up to 75 percent off soft-washed, Italian leather bags, belts, and other accessories. All merchandise for this sale is out on the floor so they won't be restocking this afternoon.  Dylan bags start at $150 and Morgan styles are $195 and up.  Belts range[...]
