Hermès: Sample Sale Line is Ridiculous

March 24th, 2010 2:15 pm grace No comments

The line into the Hermès sale is ridiculous. Around 1:30pm the line wrapped around the Container Store on 6th Avenue. It takes a good 3-3.5 hours to get in. People are risking their jobs to get their hands on some $225 scarves.

Hermès Sample Sale
Weds. 9am to 6pm
Thurs. 9am to 8pm
Fri. to Sun. 9am to 6pm
Metropolitan Pavilion: 123 W. 18th St. @ 6th Avenue, Credit Cards Only

Cole Haan Outlet – Additional 40% Off

March 5th, 2010 3:45 pm grace No comments

Who: Cole Haan
Why: Additional 40% off single item
Where: In-Store Outlet only
When: Now thru 03/17/10
How: Print and present coupon email after the jump.

One of my favorite go-to retailers for shoes is Cole Haan. The shoes are high quality, comfortable and the soles last very long. The styles are very classic and with a little maintenance, the shoes can be worn for a few years.

If you are looking for a Cole Haan outlet, may I recommend the one at Woodbury Commons? The shoes at the outlet are usually priced slightly lower than retail price. In addition, the stores usually have signs that say 50% off the sticker. With the additional 40%, you can find some real deals here. Last year around Memorial Day, they had a similar offer. Both my husband and I found buttery leather shoes for under $75.

I can’t be the only one out there that’s a little confused about the home buyer tax credit so I decided to do a little research. The tax credit signed by Obama applies to home purchases made on January 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010. As long as a binding sales contract is signed by April, 30, 2010, the buyer(s) have until June 30, 2010 to qualify for the tax credit.

Important Home Buyer Tax Credit Facts:

  • Qualified first time home buyer(s) can receive a tax credit of up to 10% of their home value or $8,000, whichever is less. Read more…

May I recommend this red lacquered jewelry box marked down to $39.99 from $79?

BOGO Pinkberry

February 11th, 2010 5:04 pm grace No comments

Happy early Valentine’s Day!

I went through a phase not too long again where I was obsessed with Pinkberry. I would eat it almost every day. Meet my friends at one of the modernist shops. Have dessert there after dinner. Sometimes I would even order a second round after I devoured my first. And I even attempted to make my own Pinkberry Froyo at home with my icecream maker. I’m glad to say I have that all under control now.
