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.
What: Made Her Think sample sale
When: Thursday, Aug 12 - Friday, Aug 13; noon-8PM
Where: 195 Chrystie St (btw Rivington/Stanton St); 212-228-2144

Steven Alan +25% off sale
StevenAlan.com is clearing out the old to make room for the new. Use code "SPRING25" to take an additional 25% off all the summer sale items. I think this might work for in-store purchases as well, but I'm not 100% on that.
James Perse sample sale, NYC
Hallelujah, and crap at the same time. Crap because I was saving my pennies for the Barney's Warehouse Sale, and this is definitely going to reduce the size of the BWS kitty.
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!!
This time, I will go EARLY so I can get some tank tops (which were the first to go last time).

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!!
