One early morning I was running late for a flight and feeling a bit bold, so I threw on my I Can Tell Your Purse Is Fake t-shirt. I've never gotten so much attention at the airport. Ever. The TSA, the people selling food, the airline stewardess, EVERYONE had something to say, and it totally made my 5AM day. I just love David & Goliath character tees, and they have other cute tongue-in-cheeky tees too.
Apparently we have something to look forward to on 12:00AM Nov. 25th? They claim it is their "Biggest internet event ever!"

Equinox gym store 30% off for members
I have been a little bitter about my gym since they yanked my yoga instructor for their new premium all-yoga gym. Not because I disagree with the concept-- indeed I'd love to swap my all-access membership for a single proper facility with hot yoga classes. It's just that it is SO FAR AWAY from my house. I live in the West Village. PureYoga is seriously Upper East Side. There's no way I'm getting to Marco now. You suck, Equinox!
And maybe if I wasn't so bitter, and the retail world wasn't going bonkers with ridiculous sales, I'd be more excited about Equinox Fitness' member's only sale. Members can print the image below and use their IDs at any store to get 30% off everything until Wednesday, Nov. 26th.

Saks 70% off (effectively) sale report
From Stephanie:
Just a quick update, I was at the Saks sale on Friday evening, and there were TONS of bags and wallets left. However, Gucci's walls were bare, but there were Marc Jacobs, Vanentino, Botkier, Chloe etc left. I went back this morning to see if they put anything new out, and there was NOTHING left!! They had already changed many of the walls to show the new bags for the spring, all full price!! I couldnt believe how people cleared the store out!!! Doesnt look like there will be much of anything for the Tuesday sale for the public.....

Saks 70% off (effectively) sale report
Much like Caroline said before, this sale is madness. It is also utterly confusing. There's signage for publicly available discounts (40%-50%) where you can take it home today, and there's signage for pre-sale items, which you can buy at the discount that will become public on Tuesday, but you can't take it home until Tuesday, and then there's the extra 'secret' discount given only to cardholders, essentially the discount which will become public on Tuesday, (usually an extra 50% off sale merch), but you also then cannot take that home until Tuesday.
I don't know whether all the people there today (NYC Saks) had Saks cards or not, but the basic 40% off seemed to generally be very popular. The entire store looked rather raped and pillaged. All the boutiques had little left (Gucci, Prada, Ferragamo, etc.). Louis Vuitton, which never goes on sale, was empty. The first floor designer bag section was ravaged-- no trace of Valentino or Chloe, only some mishandled Marc Jacobs and Botkier and other brands which are generally a lower price point.
The sale shoe selection is dwindling. The 8th floor looks like someone tied all the shoes up in a hot air balloon and exploded it. Total. Chaos. You can find select Gucci boots, Louboutins, Ferragamos, Choos, Manolos, Pradas, Stuart Weitzman, Taryn Rose, and even a bit of Chanel.
This sale is no joke. I went in today around 2:30 and plucked a black Burberry down coat (coats are on pre-sale for 30-40% off) from a fresh full rack of maybe 7-8 coats. Once I was done looking around and had it bagged and put in the back (maybe around 4:00PM), the entire rack was empty. I located 3 in various places, having been tried on and abandoned, but no more than that. Are you serious? Did the rest get purchased in 2+ hours!? Apparently. So if you want the best selection (and it goes to show stuff gets brought out because yesterday they only had that coat style in ivory), go early.
So how do you read the secret prices if you have a Saks card? There are only select full-priced items, of which you can get 40-50% off, and for all sale items, those ending in $XX.90, cardholders get an another 50% off (a kindly associate in mens explained this to me, as I find it all very confusing). The catch for the cardholder discount is that you can't take anything home until Tuesday (meaning you have to fight through the masses AGAIN to find your sales person to pick up your purchase) or you can pay $15 to have it mailed out.
I hope this helps for anyone who has questions about what this sale is all about. The phones at Saks are ringing off the hook and sales associates are so bombarded with people that I would not bother trying to get a response, unless you called a store in a smaller city.
Saks 70% off (effectively)
Update: reader Caroline reports,
I did just decide to pop in. I figured, what do I have to lose, besides my sanity?! It was crazy (forget the 8th floor shoe dept - totally insane, people with piles and piles of shoe and boot boxes, very difficult to get someone to help you...). Same with 5th floor shoes and bags, and it seems they have a lot of inventory - when I left at around 12:30, an employee was bringing out dozens of Tory Burch tote bags and hand bags - canvas, patent, etc. All 50% off, plus another 50% presale. A Marc by Marc Jacobs leather bag I saw at Bloomingdales a couple of days ago at full price ($468) was 50% off, plus another 50% off presale. And there were lots of them. They were enforcing the Saks cardholder thing there, but definitely not everywhere else. First floor handbags was just completely nuts, so I didn't even bother to look. Overall, apparel was much less crazy - if you have the patience, you can get some great deals - some stuff is 60% off, with another 50% presale! And a lot is 40% off plus 50% presale. All in all, a fantastic sale, but frankly, it was a little unsettling - I kept thinking - THIS is Saks Fifth Avenue?? The atmosphere was a little weird, with employees and even some customers looking shell shocked.I LOVE reader updates! Keep them coming (for anything)!!
In full swing, the Saks' cardholders can pre-sale at prices effectively 70% off. It is true chaos, as some sales associates respect the Saks-card-only rule and some do not. Consistent with its inconsistency, some stores have Gucci on sale, some do not, but you can be sure to find Prada, Marc Jacobs, Valentino, etc and shoes from Louboutin, Ferrragamo, and Chloe.
The sale officially opens to the public on Tuesday, but from what I'm reading online, it sounds like there won't be much left!! Don't bother calling-- many stores aren't even taking calls, and those that do are hanging up on people left right and center. If you are feeling brave, throw yourself into the fray and don't be afraid to use your elbows.
Madison Avenue Spy has neatly written out the details of how it gets to 70%. In-stores only.
The online component is not as good but gives an indication of greater discounts to come (i.e. Tuesday)

Frette sample sale report
This afternoon I took an extended off-campus lunch and ventured to the Frette Sample Sale. This is probably the 3rd time I've been -- I always stock up on my towels during this fabulous semi-annual sale.
Today was the 2nd day of the sale, and already certain things are starting to get sparse. If you are looking for bedding, you better hurry. I saw women piling massive amounts of sheets and pillowcases into shopping bags. One woman filled 8 bags with purchases! She couldn't even take it all in one car-load. Blankets and throws are $450 (from ~$1000), sheets can be found for $100 (hotel collection w/ black line emboidery), sheet sets for $190. The sheet sets were of this awesome check pattern on smooth white cotton, but it's "European fashion", which means 2 flat sheets + 2 pillowcases. In the end I had to walk away because I need a fitted sheet. There is a good selection of Euro and boudoir pillowcases and shams, a few for King pillows, but none for your standard size pillow.
If you are looking for table linen, the selection is slim: some ivory or mint green table cloths, mint napkins ($5/each), and white hotel-ish placemats ($10/each).
Bath sheets are $40 (as usual), but styles were a bit sparser this time around. There were ivory and white fluffy towels, and, for reasons unknown to me, bright pink. They also had 'couture' towels of light blue and a nice mocha. Very few hand towels, though.
Robes seemed cheaper than in the past. The basic white terry or velour robe is $50, the velour with black piping is $70, and they had men's 'spa' robes for $150. They are SO luxurious, and I stared at them longingly, temporarily wishing I was a man.
Snag a pink silk nightie or nightgowns on fire-sale at $100, or a mens cotton PJ set for $75 (sizes S and XL left). A small assortment of leather house slippers and house moccasins line the North wall for $100 each. Unfortunately the sizes were fairly limited to 37/38 for women and 42 for men.
Overall this is a fabulous place to shop for holiday and housewarming gifts. Everyone appreciates a luxurious set of towels or a fluffy robe. I even got my sister a terry cloth hair turban for $10. I'm all set.

Alessandro D'ell Acqua sample sale
I am not a girly girl, but something about Alessandro D'ell Acqua resonates with me. Unlike most blushing brides who opt for white satin Blahnik, I went with a pair of his gorgeous nude strappy heels with hand-made leather rosettes. I think for me that will always be the cornerstone of how I feel about his creations.
I might look to acquire a few more pairs of shoes at the upcoming sample sale which will include current mens and womens collections, up to 75% off. Men: jersey sweaters, pants, and shoes. Women: the requisite romantic chiffon dresses, knitwear, and shoes. Hosted by Savvy & Co.
