If you’ve ever been to ABC Carpet & Home near Union Square, you’ll know that it’s full of great stuff for your home as well as your closets… Through Sunday, January 22nd, the huge emporium is hosting its end-of-season sale. While the signs say “up to 75-percent off,” most of the items I spotted were marked down 30-50% off the original price.
Just days before Christmas… and retailers are offering holiday discounts. One of them, Barneys where its now at the second markdown at up to 60-percent off selected items… Every year, the Housing Works hosts a major fundraiser called Fashion for Action where you can shop for a good cause. The shopping event offers 50 to 70 percent off the retail price of more than 150 brands (some of them high end designers who have donated overstock). This year, Thom Browne and Co-Chairs Patricia Clarkson, Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti, and Rachel Roy kick off the fundraiser with a VIP shopping preview and cocktail party next week at Chelsea’s Altman Building.

For me, the last [...] Â Through the end of the month, Housing Works Thrift Shops is hosting it’s annual “Best of Fall” shopping events… where you can get deals on used furniture, fashion and artwork.
Yesterday evening’s downpour didn’t dissuade hardcore shoppers from showing up at the Chelsea location. At 6pm, it was packed and there was a line at the register.  If you’re willing to dig through the stuff (and there’s a lot of stuff), you’re likely to find some gems… anything from a Herman Miller chair ($175) to a Prada knit top ($50) – items that caught my eye last night.
With only three more days of the Barneys Warehouse Sale, organizers have slashed sale prices even further – 40 to 75 percent off. Sunday afternoon was not too crowded. Women’s designer, RTW and shoes are now an extra 50-percent off… men’s suits, shoes, trousers and sportcoats are an additional 40-percent off [...]
With the sale ending in a few days, the Barneys Warehouse Sale has slashed sale prices further for the Holiday weekend… Check out the complete price list above.
