We heard all the negatives about this season’s Barneys Warehouse Sale. Being an optimistic bargain hunter, I wanted to have a look for myself.

The online version of the Barneys Warehouse Sale is now over and shoppers will have to make their way to West 17th Street in Chelsea where the legendary event started this morning and will go through Labor Day. Many of us have been wondering about selection and markdowns. Like most women, the first place I always check out at this sale is the shoe department.

Over at Barneys… the markdown now is also at up to 75% off spring/summer merchandise. If you go now, you’ll get a sampling of what will be offered at the Barneys Warehouse Sale later this summer.
I checked out the designer shoes on the fourth floor yesterday where the deals were a bit better – 60% off a majority of the footwear I picked up. The shoe racks were filled with sandals, flats, heels, platforms and wedges. I spent some time looking at the selection but I found nothing that I loved. At the start of the summer sale, I did spotted a pair of Marni and Stella McCartney sandals which I liked but they were no where to be found in my size. Obviously, I had waited too long. At this point, the selection is pretty much limited.

There’s still plenty of summer days ahead of us… If you’re wanting to spruce up your summer wardrobe, this is a good time to head over to one of the department stores to have a look. Artsy Anna checked out the sale at Bergdorf Goodman where spring/summer merchandise is now up to 75% off original prices. Here’s what Anna found:
At 5 o’clock on Wednesday, the store was mostly empty save for the shoe department and young shoppers looking for bargains on 5F (the store’s contemporary floor). Shoes are at 50% off original prices — a YSL wedge is $397.50 (down from $795).
I-ELLA – an up and coming online marketplace where members can buy, sell, borrow and swap – is hosting a sample sale this week. They’ll be offering 50-90 percent off the original prices of designer pieces by Christian Louboutin, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Prada and more… The site’s founder & CEO, Ella, took us through the racks to show us some of her favorite pieces…
Where/When: I-Ella Showroom, 401 Broadway (south of Canal St), Suite 700. March 15-16; Daily (Noon-5p). RSVP at: Chelsey@i-ella.com.

Brooklyn’s Eva Gentry Consignment shop on Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill is now offering 40-percent off select merchandise. It’s the end-of-season and there are deals to be had here where you’ll find great vintage and designer castoffs.
