Manhattan officially has cashmere coming out of its you-know-what. Tuesday through next Friday, 12/12, Autumn Cashmere is taking up to 75% off cashmere sweaters and accessories.

231 W 39th St between 7th and 8th – Suite 924 – 212-398-2244 – Tue-Fri 9am-7pm, Sat-Fri 9:30am-6pm – Map

This week, The Moment’s High/Low column endorses this gold plated Hematite link bracelet with pave crystals by Lauren by Ralph Lauren. At just $78, we can only nod in awe and approval. 

On a list of sites we wouldn’t expect to produce a holiday gift guide, Cool Hunting would rank near the top. But, we’ve never been so happy to be so wrong as their new guide is arguably superior to the best gifting guide we know of — NY Mag’s Shopamatic. So clean, so accessible, so original. Shopamatic is obviously more extensive… but sometimes that only serves to complicate the shopping process. Just one of many must-haves from the list — Christopher Walken A to Z.

Thursday and Friday, Inhabit is hosting a sample sale featuring 75% off their coveted cashmere and cotton knits. Right this second, a few pieces can be acquired online.

Inhabit sample sale – 1441 Broadway between 40th & 41st – 24th fl – 212-575-3880 – 10am-6pm daily – Map
