HerRoom.com clearance
I am not fussy about my undies being all matchy matchy, I just like what I like. And what I like (Hanky Panky, Hanro, and La Perla) are on clearance at HerRoom.com! Yay! I also came across this super cute Hanky Panky undies set for brides. With 2 weddings coming up next year (that I am in), perhaps this would be a good investment...

ShopBop sale section is pretty decent
Labor Day is coming up, which usually means good sales. Of course, I'll post any promo codes that become available, but now may be a good time to peruse ShopBop's sale section and see if there's anything you must have before the onslaught.
Bloomingdale's opens outlet in... NJ??
As a Manhattanite, it is pretty much my sworn duty to propagate the inferiority of New Jersey, so I'm a little disappointed to say the new Bloomingdale's outlet is in Bergen, NJ. (Also disappointed because this means I will likely never go there.) But if you live around there, I hate you. Because this probably means that the 59th St Bloomies won't go as nuts on its sales, and instead bring all these treasures to you. Fie!!
What: Bloomingdale's Outlet
Where: 260 Bergen Town Center, Paramus, NJ 07652
Madewell's end-of-summer sale

It looks like the theOutnet.com's Clearance Sale is winding down. While perusing the wares, it does seem like they have been additionally discounted... there's not a lot left, but you might want to take another look.

SpaFinder deal days open now
Update: the Guerlain Spa at the Waldorf Astoria has shut its doors. So, I'm guessing their spa deal won't work anymore :( Thanks to Deme for letting me/us know!
If you signed up for early access, SpaFinder deal days are now open for booking! I must say, I'm pretty impressed with the offerings. Bliss spas, Caudalie, Clarins, and the Guerlain Spa at the Waldorf? Yes please! I've booked myself for a microderm, and I'm thinking a massage is in order too. I'd love a facial, but that + a microderm in one week might be counterproductive. Sigh.

Temperley London sample sale
NYMag has posted a Temperley London sample sale. You know, this + James Perse makes it hard not to go to Soho over Chelsea!
Past-season merchandise and press samples are up to 70 percent off at Temperley London. The Chameli coat is $839 (originally $2,795), the long Wisteria cardigan is $389 (originally $1,295), and the Flower tunic is $239 (originally $795). Through 8/22. 453 Broome St., at Mercer St., second fl. (212-219-2929); F (9:30–7), S (10–7), Su (noon–6).
Barney's Warehouse Sale first report
One of my best friends wants a particular pair of out-of-season Louboutins for her wedding, so how could I not trek over? With an 8AM conference call, I was unable to super early, but I headed over as soon as my call finished and got there around 9:20. No line whatsoever.
Bag check is the mild interrogation it always is, with women begging and cajoling to keep their bags, but they are, as always, very strict. I *did* notice, however, a few women carrying their Chanel bags in the fray, so if you dare bring your Chanel bag to squeeze and smush around all the other grabby women, feel free.
Shoes were a total shitshow. The racks were totally maimed! In a very strategic move which no doubt caused not a few hear palpitations, they are starting the show off with 25% off shoes stamped "BLUE". This makes Manolos around $250 and Prada shoes even $150. Women were going insane. I was pretty terrified. Unfortunately this means the racks are depleted of any red soles (except some beautiful yellow crocodile Simples that are still $1000ish), and only a few Manolos to spare. I did see, in the larger sizes, some Lanvin mary janes and Chanel strappy sandals.
Clothing is also much better organized. There is the normal dresses/tops/bottoms/denims, and then everything else is by designer. I didn't see huge amounts of any one designer, although there were larger racks of Richard Chai, Rag & Bone, and Marc by Marc Jacobs (and some others I can't remember) more in the middle of the room. Everything with a "WHSE" stamp on it was 25% off, but quite a few things had the wonderful red star stamp which we all know comes into play later in the game.
"Dressing room" area has been upgraded! I don't know if it was the war stories of perverts and lurkers looking at the bare asses at BWS, or the need to control theft, but they've 'walled in' the changing area and added MANY MANY mirrors. Thank the lord! And they are good mirrors, not crazy fun-house ones.
So, what have I learned? If you want shoes, you need to go first thing in the morning. With the 25% off right out of the gate, women are more fervent than ever. Clothing was... ok. All the things I liked were either pretty manhandled or still over $700. Unfortunately I was on a time constraint and did not get a chance to make it downstairs to home or mens. Anyone who did can let me know how it was!!
Saks online sale up to 70% off

Made Her Think sample sale
Tomorrow starts the sample sales of Made Her Think, which I've come to adore. I wore 2 of their Siren Knucklebuster rings stacked to Per Se a couple months ago, and shocked our friends, who now think I am clearly leaning towards dangerous.
The sale will have necklaces, rings, and bracelets up to 70% off. Maybe I'll pop by to see what other rings they have! I really like the look of their Swallow Ring, and 70% off would make it so much easier to spring for.

James Perse sample sale, NYC

Starting Friday, James Perse is hosting their sample sale in Chelsea Market. It will be their 2nd NYC sale (you can read my sale report from the one in March here), and if this one will be anything like the last one, it's gonna be very expensive for me! I can't wait!!

Cleaning silver jewelry - easy, cheap, and eco-friendly
Today was a fun day of light-fixture shopping, and is it just mine, or do all men turn into big whiny babies when they go to ABC Carpet & Home? I swear DH could just not stop b*ing and moaning, calling it old, ugly, and overpriced. How is it that when it comes to furniture, he turns into a freaking Architectural Digest stager? After 2 floors, I had to leave, and we had a much more amicable time at Design Within Reach.
So it was a quiet evening, and I got around to cleaning my jewelry. First all the diamonds/gems got soaked in a shot glass of gin for about 4 hours. It's really great at loosening up all the bits of god-knows-what stuck in the setting-- quite disgusting. Then they got blasted with the steamer. (I got one from Frontgate.com with a coupon-- this is a different one, but if it cleans like mine, it's a great deal. And for filling out their survey, they gave me a code for 20% off good through Aug 8, "XXM17962")
Anyway, back to the topic at hand: while browsing the Tina Tang website for bracelets and rings, I saw she had a video demonstration on cleaning silver jewelry using just a tinfoil aluminum pan, boiling water, and baking soda. I was pretty skeptical but willing to give it a try-- it's cheap, it's easy, and I have *tons* of Tiffany & Co silver jewelry that seems to turn black every time I turn around!! (UGH!)
Well, the directions are simple.
1. Place the silver jewelry on the pan, making sure the silver of the jewelry makes contact with the pan (don't overcrowd)
2. Pour boiling water into the pan, enough to cover all the jewelry
3. Quickly sprinkle baking soda all over the surface of the water (I used about half the box)
Now, it will bubble and steam as the baking soda reacts with the tarnish, so try and keep your nose out of the fumes-- it made me sneeze! It doesn't smell pleasant, but it's not so bad, and the bottom line is.. it WORKS!! It works so much better than that crappy paste I keep under the sink (not to mention no scratch marks from rubbing too hard), and it gets in all the crevices of the jewelry, the ones I can't reach with a polishing cloth.
I actually did it twice to some pieces which were a bit more intricate and had more nooks and crannies (i.e. David Yurman)-- and they are REALLY bright and shiny now. Now I just need to go buy more baking soda so I can do this to more of my silver. NEVER again will I do my annual ritual of dutifully bringing all my T&Co jewelry in for polishing at $8 a ring!!
