Barney's Private Sale - Follow up

I went to the sale today...it was nothing like the sale in May :(

Walking in...it felt like any other day with sale racks for discounted items. I guess they are waiting for black Friday. There are some interesting sales next week....but I will be snowboarding hehe Which is good I guess, my credit card needs a break.

good thing there is cyber Monday!

Barney's Private Sale


Barney's is having their private sale...with up to 40% off (selected) regular priced items!!! I went there last time they had this and got a good deal on a bag and pair of shoes...so totally worth checking out.

I am on a spending freeze until 2012...so you will have to tell me about the sale ;) If I finish up early tomorrow I may stop by because I have to pick up my facial cream...but I am going to try and avoid browsing or less I will come back with more than cream haha.

Tim Burton Exhibit at the MoMA



Today I went to Tim Burton's exhibit at the MoMA! There were so many people people it was a little crazy, however, once everything died down a bit, I got to enjoy the exhibition. It was a lot of fun...his imagination in still pictures is just as entertaining as his motion pictures.

Its nice to see his his imagination at work since a kid! In addition, the zone with his movie creations brought back a lot of memories...Beetle Juice, Batman, Batman Retunrs, Edward Scissorhands, The nightmare before Christmas, corpse bride...the list goes one. Coming out of the show, I wanted to see one of his old movies again.

The MoMA will also be featuring his movies, so if you go, try to plan so you can catch a movie too!

Louise Goldin Shoes for Top Shop




These shoes look so awesome!!! These are Louise Goldin's designs for Top Shop....I don't know when they will be hitting stores...but I am going to keep my eye out on this one. I think I am really feeling the last picture the most...I have a common shoe size, so I will have to work to get these. I hope they don't come out when I am on vacation :(

I got these pictures from this site.

Turandot

Today I went to see Turandot and thought it was amazing!!! This is the second opera show I've been to and this one actually made me cry. The story was good, easy to follow (I am a newbie), and the stage setting was awesome.

I think I am going to check out Hansel and Gretel next!

Shopping today

ok...I went to the Save Fashion store in Soho and it really had the BDB feeling. Lots of brands on sale in one spot. I liked the shoe selections (Ninna Ricci and proenza schouler shoes) but I already used up my shoe quota yesterday ;) I was so so with the clothes...but ended up getting a long black tank top that is a little asymmetrical at the top (i really need to stop buying black)

After Save Fashion, the plan was to go to Bloomindales, Top Shop, Eryn Brinie, and then get a gift for my friend at the Kid Robot store. It turns out we never made it past bloomingdales haha. I was just browsing the sale racks and enjoyed the friends and family on top of the sale prices. With my hands full after bloomingdales, I had to head home.

Christian Louboutin Sale - today is the last day!

Christian Louboutin Sale...today is the last day and it closes at 3, so if you are in the area you should check it out. The sale is guest list BUT I think most of those guys went at the beginning so people who weren't on the guest list waited for 30-60 minutes.

Prices range from 100-1000, but most of them are in the 250-435 range. There are also some bags left too.

As for sizes....if you aren't a 37-39 you should get there asap...hurry, check it out and good luck :)
Here is what my friend, Mimi, sent me:

What: Christian Louboutin Sample Sale
When: Thursday, November 12th 9AM-6PM
Friday, November 13, 9AM-3PM
Where:306 West 38th Street 14th Floor (Between 8th & 9th Ave)
New York City
Why: Because everybody loves the red bottoms!

Thank you, Mimi....i am now more broke then ever but have a nice new pair of shoes :p

Pupa Cosmetics

Here is a cute gift idea for the holidays. I am not a fan of the colors, but the packaging is unique.

Eryn Brinie Fall Sale

Looks like Eryn Brinie will be reducing their prices on selected items starting tomorrow. This brand has nice stuff and is reasonably priced. The brand is from Korea and follows the same concepts as H&M....stylish and affordable ;)

I've been shopping there since Jan 09 or Dec 08 and I feel like their style is very feminine. I also have to mention their shoe collection...I bought a pair of heels from their Spring/Summer collection...and they are one of the most comfortable pairs I've worn in a while! They are at least 3 inches high and I can wear them rain or shine.

Henri Bendel's Splurge Card


I think I am seeing the word splurge everywhere right now...so we are either coming out of the recession or its holiday shopping time!!!! Details are above....shop today to the 15th at Henri Bendel's and get money back when you spend $150 and up. But just remember you have a time limit on that splurge card...you have to use it in-store 12/1-12/13...what a drag...you have to go to Bendel's twice ;)

I am a sucker for this...totally got pulled in when they did this during the summer time too...but I am not complaining.

Have fun!

5th Floor sale at Bergdorfs & Jimmy Choo Sweeps

You can shop in store or online. While you are there...if you don't get anything you can sign up for the Jimmy Choo sweepstake. Winner gets a $5,000 shopping spree.

Good luck!

Bloomingdale's Friends and Family


Bloomingdale's Friends and Family has already started online (promo code HOLIDAY) and will begin in store on 11/11. Enjoy 20% off lots of regular priced items. If you spend over 500 USD, you get a 100 USD splurge card!!! However, there is a time limit on when you can use it and a minimum price limit too (can only apply to buys of 250 and up) so it isn't like your regular gift card.

Save Fashion Event - November

Looks like there will be another Save Fashion event in November :)

I went to the sale a few times when they had a pop up store at Port Authority and got a really good deal on a dress. I have to make time to check this one out too. Urgh, so many things to buy so little money haha

The sale is running from 11/13- 11/22 @ 237 Lafayette Street (btw Prince and Spring). The first day of the sale will run from 7am-9pm, the last day will be from 10am-5pm and in between is 10am-9pm.

Have fun...hope you get something good!

Alexander Wang - Diego Bucket Bag



I want the Alexander Wang Diego bag, in black and gold!!!!! I did a quick search and could only find black and silver....should I just get it? Or hunt down the black and gold one?
