YSL "friends and family" sale, Bonpoint sample sale

The YSL sale will probably be mass mayhem like last year, but if you have a little one to keep stylish, getting two birds with one stone might just make it worth the trip. If you want a bag, you're going to have to be one of the first people in line because last year there was a *lot* of bag-hogging and all-out violence. If you do grab one, make sure to check for damages as I've heard stories of them being retail returns/irregulars/damages.

What: Yves Saint Laurent F&F sample sale
When: Thursday, Oct 28 - Saturday, Oct 30; Th-Fr 8AM-8PM, S 9AM-4PM
Where: 4th fl @ The Metropolitan Pavilion, 123 W 18 St

And for the more zen floor, go upstairs. Up to 60% off boys' and girls' clothing, ranging from newborns to pre-teens. I'm thinking baby gifts!

Sephora friends and family

You'd think being a V.I.B. would get me notified that their freaking F&F has started. (Really, is it not enough that I drop about $500 there a year?) Anyways, although I'm miffed, there's still a lot of good stuff available (i.e. the shelves have not been cleaned out yet!). Many thanks my fabulous friend Kelly for alerting me!!

Go now before the stampede follows. Use code "FF2010" and get 20% off everything until Wednesday, Nov 3. If you're a savvy shopper, you know you can even earn AA miles or get 5% cashback via Mintbox :) Traditionally I've always used the F&F as an excuse to buy a fancy tool. This year I'm thinking the $245 Sultra Sophisticate dryer, although that seems a hefty price for a hairdryer. Anyone have one who can weigh in?)

Question about Missoni bikinis

Question for those who know... As I am planning my friend's bachelorette getaway in Puerto Vallarta, I'm scouring the websites looking for swimwear on sale. 1) Because I'm not sure new swim collections will be on the shelves by next March, and 2) because if it's on sale, all the better!

Currently the new hotness is Missoni swimwear. There's a nice collection on YOOX.com, and I'm keeping an eye on TheOutnet.com. Personally I have always stuck with Burberry, but I'm intrigued by all the hype. Is it worth it? A Missoni bikini, even on sale, can top $400!

HerRoom.com $10 off Calvin Klein bras

HerRoom.com has discounted all Calvin Klein bras by $10, so they are now priced $32-36, which is about the same price you'd pay at Loehmann's, Filene's, TJ Maxx, etc. EXCEPT these haven't been pawed at and/or trampled! Hurrah!

Their Clearance section also has a nice selection of Hanky Panky styles with select discounted colors, Splendid tees and tanks that also have some discontinued colors, and a Splendid shawl/cardigan thing that looks super cozy and is now $39.99 (from $77). It'd also make a great Xmas gift.

My DiorDiva reward

Not sale-shopping related, but I thought I'd mention Dior beauty's very nice kick-back program. The premise? Buy Dior beauty products (skincare, fragrance, make-up) over a 12 month period, save those receipts, and turn them in for a little something.

I heard about this program last year, so this is my first DiorDiva Program reward. I'm surprised that as much as people talk about the program, there isn't much mention of what you actually get. The most educational pieces of info are via super annoying 'reveal' videos on YouTube, and there's only so much squealing and bad camera handling that I can stomach.

So for those of you who are curious, here is the Runway Diva 500 point gift. It includes: a nice little makeup bag, a full-size Iconic mascara (value $27), a full-size Lip Maximizer (value $29.50), and a deluxe sample of Capture Totale something or other (I'm guessing it's a sample of their serum).
At $1 a point, it's nice that a $500 gift is worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $60 (plus a free makeup bag worth $10? $15?). Of course, you don't have to rack up $500 over the year to get a reward. They have different 'levels' of gifts for 100, 250, 500, 750, or 1000 points, and I'm sure the value starts at 10% and goes up. (I bet that 1000 point gift is pretty amazing!)

Another good thing is, they accept Sephora purchases. Almost all my purchases were online via Sephora, using some discount or another. And even though I bought that eyeshadow with a 10% off code, I got full points value for it (although maybe that's just because Sephora doesn't re-adjust the product prices to reflect the discount-- they do a total discount at the bottom). I probably will never rack up $750 worth of eye makeup and lipsticks, but if you use the skincare, you definitely will want to start saving those receipts!

The Dior Beauty website is down for renovation, but you can still download the redemption form from that little link in the small print.

Prive sample sale at Chelsea Market

The Prive sample sale currently going on at Chelsea Market has $10 ADAM and A+Eve t-shirts and tanks. And $15 gym pants which retail at $78. If you need house pants, I HIGHLY recommend grabbing a pair of these. I put them on the minute I got home, and they are sooo comfy. (However, my husby says that since the seam down the front is very obvious, it looks like major camel toe. So maybe only wear these when no guests are around.)

That being said, it's got a LOT of stuff! Lewis Cho elastic belts for $15, Alice & Trixie tops, Walter dresses, Laundry by Shelli Segal overcoats, JBrand jeans and leggings. This one is skewed probably 80% women, 20% men, so it's not worth it for guys to make the trek. (They are continuously restocking)
