Moving onto gifts for home and kids wear, Laura Baumgartner checked out Chelsea Passage and the stuff for kids… Here’s her report:
The latest markdowns at the Barneys Warehouse Sale brought out the crowds over the weekend to Chelsea. Women’s designer, shoes, lingerie and swimwear are now an additional 25 percent off the sale price. The gents are getting a better deal with the discount now at an extra 40 percent off designer duds, sportswear, outerwear (including leather). Men’s sportscoats, tuxedos and ties are at an additional 25 percent off. We stopped in on Saturday to find no line but a very crowded scene inside… with shoppers pawing through the racks and shoe stacks. The sale ends on Sunday… expect even more reductions. While on Holiday in O’ahu, I stumbled on a discount designer handbag shop. It wasn’t much to look at on the outside but when I walked in, I couldn’t believe the finds. Lots of Louis Vuitton and Gucci – a few Chanels, some Prada and much more. We were on the way to [...]
Housing Works is hosting its fall preview through the end of September. Tuesday night, I made it into the Tribeca location where the preview started at 5pm. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted by a live band performing funky tunes. The music gave the place a lively atmosphere. The band was a nice touch. Tonight, many of us will be taking to the streets of New York City for Fashion’s Night Out. More than a thousand retailers across the city will be hosting all kinds of events with celebrity appearances, complimentary drinks, food and fun. If you’re not into crowds and want to avoid the mob scene, you [...]

This Sunday, Decadestwo, the L-A based high-end designer consignment pop-up shop in Soho, is having a blowout sale on all its shoes and boots, including Christian Louboutin, Gucci, Lanvin, Manolos and more. Just for one day all the footwear will be $150. Yesterday, they were offering an additional 20 [...] The annual spring designer event at Filene’s basement is underway where you’ll get 30 to 80 percent off the original retail price. I stopped into the location on Union Square the other day to find pieces from designers including Alexander McQueen, Anna Molinari, Blumarine, Chloé, Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani, and Hugo Boss. In [...]
I took a second look Thursday night at women’s wear at the Barneys Warehouse Sale and I put together the video above. Like the men’s section, I was disappointed. I had to look hard to find the stand out deals: plush cashmere shawls (in taupe and black) by Giorgio Armani tagged at $200, Lanvin black dress $300, Dries Van Noten snakeskin print cashmere sweaters $180 to $225, Marc by Marc Jacobs black cropped jacket $150, Alexander Wang knits starting at $49. I did find these bargains but I really had to dig deep. None of the shoes or boots really stood out, at least in my size (37). That said… a pair of blue suede Balenciaga ultra high heels (tagged at $450) did catch my eye. I spotted that those Lanvin platforms ($450) that were on offer in the last sale over the summer sitting on the shelves. I was surprised at the lack of selection of boots.  |
