ShopBop new 70% off stuff
If you're all tuckered out from shopping for others and have a few dollars to spare for yourself, there's a battle for the scraps. Barney's and Bergdorf may be tussling on the big ticket items, but ShopBop's now-larger 70% off section will settle for a smaller chunk of change.
Bergdorf Goodman further reductions
Wow, talk about getting a head start! Bergdorf has also marked down their sale, making some things effectively 60% off.

Barney's designer sale, further reductions
Why wait until after Xmas? Up to 60% off now! In-stores and online.
Rebecca Minkoff day-after-Xmas sale
Having learned their lesson from the Black Friday fiasco (also known as the Rebecca Minkoff total-server-meltdown), I am fairly confident they are ready to fight this battle. They did mention last time how bad they felt about the situation and promised to make it up to us. Let us be the judge of such promises ;)
Starting at the stroke of midnight, Rebecca Minkoff will be putting lots and lots of bags on sale! It should be a lot of frenetic online shopping fun. Shipping will also be free.
Important things to note:
- All sales are totally and completely final. No cancellations, returns, exchanges.
- Morning After Bags (and the minis) do not have shoulder straps unless specifically noted.
- No phone or email orders.
- All items will be shipped by (but may not ship until) Friday, Jan 8.
Kiki de Montparnasse 40% off
It might not make it under the Xmas tree (although shipping is free), but you can always save it up for Valentine's Day. Use code "4LOVE" to take 40% off pieces from Kiki de Montparnasse's signature collections. Ends today. Warning to the un-initiated: the "instruments of pleasure" section is not for the faint-hearted (or those in the office).
Wolford online sale
Wolford is having an online sale for some RTW and lingerie items. (No hosiery, sorry) First come first served, so when it's gone, it's gone!

Happy Holidays!
It looks like the sample sale season is winding down as everyone finishes their shopping. Of course, we all know this is the calm before the Day-After-Xmas storm, and I am definitely on my tippy toes waiting to see the sales!
This weekend was the most spectacular snow weekend I can remember for Manhattan since 2004. Usually the accumulation is pretty pathetic and melts on impact, but Saturday was gorgeous. Rumor had it that Central Park accumulated over 10 inches of pure fluffy goodness. Blogger Doug Kim happened to be in Times Square taking photographs when a spontaneous snowball fight erupted, and he got some really fabulous shots. I especially love the one of the little boy mischievously smiling at him, arm pulled back.
Another blogger, BeHappyNYC, who recently linked to my T&Co post (thank you!) is a great glimpse of NYC life-- cute little restaurants interspersed with observations that can only be made here! Too seldom do I take the time to appreciate the wonderful city in which I live.
So until Day-After-Xmas emails start rolling in-- have a very wonderful holiday!

Counterfeit alert: Redbag
On my way to the Qi sample sale, which is next door to a Liquid sample sale (tops $30, skirts $30, dresses $40), I popped into one of the little boutiques I have loved. It's been a few months since I stopped by Redbag, and I was excited about all the signs in the window (Burberry! MaxMara! True Religion!). Walking in, it looks pretty much the same-- tables covered in True Religion jeans, racks of Ed Hardy, and then I started to browse.
First I came across a ridiculously fake Chanel trench coat (with plastic belt buckle. As if. This is Chanel we're talking about!). Then I saw mens Burberry coats with shoddy labeling and Prada puff coats that were clearly counterfeit. The fonts are all a little off, the plaid isn't just right. (And to make it even MORE outrageous, they were charging $300-400 per coat based on 'retail' of $1100+). All the hang tags also had little tell-tale pricing stickers like the ones you'll find at Pearl River Mart. My coworker thinks those are prices in Hong Kong dollars, I think it might have something to do with Chinese imports. Either way, it's bad news. I think the MaxMara coats might be legitimate, but I wouldn't risk making a purchase here.
So I am saddened to report that we should definitely not shop here anymore. The people behind the counter are all Asian, so maybe the original owners sold it. Who knows. Don't bother! If you DO want knock-offs, you can certainly find better prices elsewhere.

Sorry for no post-y
Apologies for not posting in a while! This weekend was my 30th birthday, so my DH had 3 of my best friends converge upon NYC under cover of darkness, 2 of them popping out at random times to cause oh-god-do-I-have-enough-guest-towels? panics. We did excellent shopping on Saturday and finished the evening with 13 course custom menu with champagne tastings (including a 1979 Cristal) at Per Se.
Then today my work internet was really slow, and I couldn't get onto Blogger.com-- I don't know if it was the internet, or if my work is onto me :P

Satya jewelry sample sale
I hesitated during the Satya online sample sale, so I'm happy to see that I have a 2nd chance! I was considering getting some of those bead bracelets (apatite, onyx, chalcedony, etc) but I wasn't sure I needed to spend the money boho-ing myself even more.

Where: GoldenBridge Yoga NYC, 253 Centre St (btw Grand/Broome St); 212-343-8191

YSL fall winter sale
I wonder what shoes will be marked down? I tried on the really high stiletto pumps, and they were just so amazing! I couldn't bring myself to throw down the $895, but perhaps for less...
Dooney & Bourke tent sale
D&B is having their annual tent sale, so if you feel the need to head to CT for any reason, next weekend would be a good time to do it. Visit the event sale page for a nifty map too. Last year my coworker went with no intention of buying anything (she lives very close), and she walked away with four bags.

Scouting report: Tiffany & Co.
Earlier this week I had the opportunity to mosey on over to Tiffany & Co and leisurely peruse their very lovely, very sparkly offerings. No, T&Co never has sales, but I saw a few things that I think are a very good value. Although I can't get a discount on most of the jewelry I want in life, I just try to get the most for my money and many things factor in: uniqueness in design, quality of craftsmanship and raw materials, brand equity (of course!), and how long I think I'll love it.
The first thing that caught my eye was a porcelain jewelry box/dish. Personally, I think that Tiffany china and crystal is a very well priced when compared to its peers (and I'm not talking about Waterford!). I lust for Baccarat, Christofle, Lalique... but you can't buy $400 candy bowls all the time, so T&Co is a really decent option. (My pets actually drink water out of the huge punch-bowl sized Atlas bowl.)
The Fifth Avenue Box, recently introduced this season, is SO adorable. I appreciate the subtlety. I will never be as big of a fan of the blue box as Toni Braxton (I'm not even sure the CEO is) and I'm not too keen on the look-at-me ceramic blue box. But this, this I love! And it's only $95!
I want to also take a minute to acknowledge the marvel that is the Tiffany marketing engine. They are geniuses. I grew up dreaming of their signature engagement ring. I absolutely had the heart charm bracelet. Celebration rings? I'm totally behind those. The new key motif appeals to me (of course), and I can think of a million fun ways to present them as gift. For instance, imagine this scenario: "Oh Merry Christmas honey! Here's a hint to your present" and then I unwrap a rose gold key necklace only to be led out to my new BMW...
There are a number of options for metal, size, and number of diamond embellishments, but the keys in this photo are $175 (silver) and $250 (18k gold) not including the chain.
The last thing I want to mention was what I considered the pièce de résistance. This necklace literally had my heart beating a little faster. A new addition from Paloma Picasso, this huge chain-link necklace is actually made of mesh links. What this means: it's shiny, flexible, and super LIGHT. The toggle can be hidden behind your neck too, which gives it an edgier look (I mean, hello, you're wearing chains!). It's not cheap at $850, but I must say the amount of raw material and detail in fabrication makes it a good deal in my eyes. I love the black palladium (gunmetal) version-- it matches my new Chanel perfectly ;) (and won't tarnish!)
Bergdorf Goodman designer sale, beauty event
Update: Anyone have a response to one of the comments? I'm inclined to believe that if Saks has it on sale, NM is going to have it on sale (sooner or later).
"Ok -so I'm trying to decide whether I should purchase a Brunello Cucinelli ensemble at full price, or wait until it goes down. Saks already has this line on sale, not sure why BG and Neimans are holding off. Anyone have any info?"Starting Wednesday, Dec 2, Bergdorf is starting their winter sale. RTW, shoes, accessories, bags, and 3rd floor mens designer sportswear will be discounted up to 40%. Will be online as well.
Then from Thursday, Dec 3 - Sunday, Dec 6, they are doing their beauty gift card event. I love this event, because if you spend $100, they take $25 off. And I don't know how it kind of drops off, but after that, if you spend $500 you get a $50 giftcard, $750 = $75 giftcard, $1000 = $100 giftcard. BG's idea of beauty is not only cosmetics, but also men's fragrance, sunglasses, and Wolford hosiery (which, by the way, I loaded up on at a Marshalls in Houston). I am not sure if this event will be online as well.
