French Connection “Sample Sale”

— Wed, 16th February 2011 —

Word from Racked is that 202 — Chelsea Market’s dual eating/shopping space — is kaput. What does that mean in Beggar terms? Through Saturday, 2/19, a respectable showing of French Connection stock at 80-90% off. [Racked]

Bring It! – Barneys Warehouse Sale

— Wed, 16th February 2011 —

Here she comes! The sale you love to hate, and hate to love; the biggest (if not the greatest) discount shopping event of the year — Barneys semiannual Warehouse Sale!

The festivities kickoff tomorrow morning, 2/17, at 8 a.m., but as any regular reader knows, no one cracks their wallet on Day 1 of this chess game of a sale. Whenever you visit — if you visit — stay focused with a pre-made wish list, stick to your sizing sections, and know that prices drop precipitously over the course of the two-week event.

Last time around, here‘s what the sale looked like on Day 1 — and here‘s how severely the prices dropped 12 days later.
