Papyrus one-day private sale

I just bought all the birthday, wedding, anniversary, graduation, and thank you cards that I'll need for the next year (in addition to some just-in-case gift wrap, gift bags, and tissue paper). Last year I got the Papyrus membership ($10) for the buy-3-get-1-free bonus (year-round). With their more frequent promotions, though, I am not feeling the need to renew that. Case in point: today-only, take 25% off everything or 20% off custom printing with code "PRIVATEMAR", which is better than the 20%/15% promos I've seen in the past-- take advantage! *When I checked out, I put in the code but the discount was not reflected. Hopefully they will adjust this at processing.

To Ugg or not to Ugg...

I have stayed away from Uggs. I loathe them on starlets prancing in the 80 degree LA weather, I don't buy shearling, and honestly, I think they are hideous. But while gingerly negotiating bad weather this winter in my heeled Prada boots, I came to the conclusion that I need ugly-tromping-around-boots that I don't really care about, and Uggs popped into my mind. Should I break down and get some?

Kate Spade friends & family

I remember when Kate Spade Sam bags were all the rage. I was in college, working at J.Crew for $6/hr, too parsimonious to splurge. However, if you were someone, you had to have one. People would go to desperate lengths to get the look, and I'd often see an errant Kate Spade label on the mall floor, evidence of the high quality of counterfeits.

I'm glad those days of wishing I had the money are over, but it still feels good to keep some in your wallet. Get your Kate Spade and save 30% during the F&F event (even on the sale stuff). Shop online with code "SFF32630" or print out the image below and take an extra 10% off in-store. Ends Monday, Mar 30.

SOS sample sale

I am always leery of these mass-brand sample sales, but since the source is the venue itself (Openhouse Gallery) and SOS seems to be a repeat customer, I will take their word that this is going to be a good sale!

Marchesa sale report

The Marchesa sale continues to enthrall me. Prices are fantastic and selection is good, and this time, the selection is even better than last and prices are slightly lower.

AND, if you buy 2 or more short dresses, they take 20% off. Not too shabby. I am absolutely kicking myself for not going to the F&F preview yesterday because things are going fast. There is a huge, mouth-watering selection of long gowns, though, for those of you with occasion to wear them (and yes, I am quite pouty that I don't). 100% silk stoles in black, forest green, navy, red, maroon, taupe, dusty rose, and dusky sky are only $40. Run, don't walk.

ASPCA / Tibi shopping event

As the mama of 1 dog and 2 cats, the ASPCA is very close to my heart and one of the non-profits I support most strongly (the other being the Komen foundation). Therefore I feel compelled to encourage ladies to go shopping tomorrow down in Soho at Tibi. (Besides, their clothes are perfect for that day-to-night look.) There's no discount, but 15% of sales goes to ASPCA!

Calling all fashionistas and fans of animals! Tibi, Soho's chic women’s clothing boutique, is hosting a very special pet adoption and shopping event to benefit the ASPCA—and you’re invited.

Why: The ASPCA Adoption Van will be on site with a wonderful selection of available pets—you just might find furry love.

Tod's outlet warehouse sale - NYC, Orlando, Las Vegas

It's so exciting to get mail by USPS nowadays. I check the mailbox everyday, anticipating something good. Sometimes it's my trashy OK! Magazine or Condé Nast Traveler, which are good days. The better days are catalogs from Burberry, Baccarat, or Movado. The best days are sales notifications, like Barney's Warehouse Sale, Saks friends and family, or Tod's outlet store sales.

Why are Tod's outlet store sales remarkable? Because it gets so cheap. Incredibly, ridiculously cheap. Fine print on the postcard says "Woodbury, Orlando, and Primm (Las Vegas) stores only. No phone orders, no pre-sales". *Of note: if you're heading out there anyway, Catherine Malandrino is supposed to have a (small) 90% off rack.

Stuart Moore 10-50% off

Funky Soho jewelry boutique Stuart Moore is having a 'moving sale'. The sale runs until the end of July, when they actually do move, but why delay a good reason for discounting? Most of the inventory in the store is 10% off (think, no tax!), with very few items 20-30% off, and even fewer at 50% off. However, the 50% off merchandise is a select group of diamond jewelry, so that could prove something worth looking at (including the ring I've pictured below). Overall their diamond engagement/band collections are 10% off. The associates told me that sales there are very rare-- their last sale was 6 years ago.

Ray-Ban Wayfarers, $100

After lunch at No. 28 (which is really awesome, BTW), my eagle eyes spotted a chalkboard sidewalk sign that said SAMPLE SALE! Let me just say I am very happy I checked it out.

It looks like the entire store is pretty much on sale, eyeglasses and sunglasses priced from $50 to $175. It looked like from $50-100 you could find Emporio Armani, Miu Miu, Just Cavalli, Hugo Boss. A really good selection of Ray-Ban Wayfarers, even red, black, and camouflage, were only $100. Over $150 were most of the Persol, Dior, D&G, Valentino, Marc Jacobs, and Prada ($175). The staff was really nice, and you get proper matching cases with your purchases. I waltzed out the door with sporty Emporio Armani and huge Prada sunnies for a total of $225. Awesome.

How to get into French Laundry

Yesterday the DH and I made another trip to Per Se. In these dark times, the silver lining, truly, is the the availability of tables at the best restaurants, and the abundance of extended Restaurant Week / prix fixe menus (Picholine, Daniel, Jean Georges). Since we've gone to Per Se so many times in the past 6 months, we've gotten to be very friendly with the people there. The DH is quite the foodie and loves to compare notes with the Captains on how to prepare Keller's food at home in our non-3-star-Michelin-tiny-NYC kitchens. They put us in touch with the French Laundry staff, who have graciously accommodated our request for a table when we're out there early May. Who says you have to use that guy who has scripted out Open Table?
