Walking into the Renegade Craft Fair in Williamsburg this Saturday afternoon, I spotted a little boy playing with a blow up Spider-man doll. He was so engaged with the act that instinct made me take out my camera and start snapping photos. I suddenly realized that his father (who happened to be close by) is Watchmenstar Patrick Wilson. He also starred opposite Kate [...]
It's suppose to be a nice weekend. And if you're still trying to figure out what to do. Why not hit an outdoor market? The fifth annual Renegade Craft Fair returns to Williamsburg this weekend. It's grown over the years now showcasing more than 300 designers, artists, and printers. The event has always been a good place to find affordable accessories. You[...]
Some of you have been waiting for the day to arrive and it's here -- further reductions at the Diane von Furstenberg sample sale at 260 Fifth Ave in the Flatiron District.  Call me crazy since I stopped by this afternoon just to take a look at what they had.  I still wanted that classic DVF. Luckily, there was a short line outside that moved quickly. Surpris[...]
One of Sally's sources was out today trying to find deals. She went to the DVF sale in the Flatiron district and waited an hour to get in. Apparently, it was a mob scene. She found some wrap dresses but the line to the dressing room was so long that she left empty handed.

Even before the doors opened, a Sally source reported a line of at least 50 people outside the Ralph Lauren sale in Midtown. Check out the photo below taken at 8:30am this morning. This sale is for "friends & family" so you have to have a pass to get in. How did all these people get passes? Ralph must have a lot of friends... Where/When: Soiffer Haskin,[...]
I stopped by after work today to check out the Lauren Moffatt sample sale to find a pleasant atmosphere - no crowds here and the employees were very helpful. On offer were racks of spring/summer 2009 fun and feminine dresses ($110-$160), tops are $80 and skirts $60. A preview sale took place yesterday but there's still lots of merchandise left in pastel colors and[...]
It appears that the Diane von Furstenberg preview sale on Monday just wasn't enough for NYC women. Even before the doors opened today (the official start of the sale), there was a line around the block. Luckily, it moved quickly once they let people inside. But what a nightmare inside. The racks were so close together and there were so many women crammed between[...]
