About IF Boutique’s Basement Sale going down through Sunday, 8/22. We’re told the opening hours were insane, though it was mostly womenswear from the get-go. “Almost all womenswear save for 3 rather moribund racks of menswear,” one reader tells us. “I was there 30 minutes after it began and it became very apparent that it was going to be the slimmest of pickings this time around.” We dropped by Monday afternoon, and came to a similar conclusion. Some unstructured jackets, a few Margiela blazers, two Comme patchwork jackets, etc. Through Sunday, if you’re lucky enough to score at this sale, we strongly suggest jumping on the next flight to Vegas.

Through Thursday, 8/19, J.Crew is taking an additional 30% off all final sale stock, and throwing in free shipping for good measure. Down from $125 to $63, got to love the SeaVees 9/63 Pantone oxfords in, say, vintage grey. J.Crew calls them the “quintessence” of ’60s California cool. Yeah, that sounds about right.
