Calypso: 25% Off On 5/12/10

Calypso is having a "private" sale on 5/12/10 (wed) from 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm at the NYC, LA, Chi-Town and Dallas locations. You can sign-up via BordersRewardsPerks.com but I doubt they're going to be checking the list. I haven't had a chance to swing by the store yet but these four on-line items caught my eye: (Prices reflect 25% discount.)

G1 Army Jacket ($168.75) in olive: This is a great weekend alternative to the trench/safari jacket!

Calypso Lois Solid Dress ($101.25) in raffia (navy also available): It is time for tea yet? I want scones with clotted cream...

Calypso Andie Plaid Dress ($146.25) in ivory: This is a dress I'd want to wear every day. It looks so comfy and light...perfect for a sweltering mid-summer day.

Elena Ghiselini Cupido Bag ($746.25) in coco: Ooohhh....new travel bag!!

SHOPPING TIP: Read The Return/Exchange Policy 1st!!

Before you pull the trigger and buy your next pair of shoes or bag, read the return/exchange policy of the store/e-tailer first.

Here are some things to look for:

* Return/Exchange Policy: Under which circumstances do they offer a return/exchange?

* Return/Exchange Period: How many days do you have?

* RMA #: Do you need a return merchandise authorization # (RMA #) before you can return/exchange it?

* Refund or Store Credit: Will you get a refund or store credit?

* Return/Stock Fee: Will you get charged a return/stock fee?

* Shipping Costs: Will they provide a return label or will you have to ship the item back yourself? If they provide a return label, is it free or is there a charge?

* Final Sale Policy: Is the discounted/clearance item a final sale? Are all items a final sale in general?

* Invoices/Tags: Do you need the invoice for a return/exchange? Do you need the sku/security tags for a return/exchange? (Note: Some bag e-tailers will not permit a return if the store's security tag is cut off from the bag.)

SHOPPING TIP: Don't Forget Promotion Codes and Cashback Websites

Before you click to purchase on a retail website, stop and ask yourself these two questions:

1) Is there a promotion code that I can use?

2) Can I get cashback through a cashback website?

Always check to see if there's a promotion code that you can use for your purchase. Do a quick Google search and surf the various coupon websites (e.g., RetailMeNot). Even if the code is for free shipping, you've saved yourself some $$. Certain websites will permit you to "stack" promotion codes (i.e., use more than one promotion code), so don't be shy about trying to apply more than one promotion code to your purchase. Be aware that certain promotions code invalidate other promotion codes and most promotion codes have restrictions/exclusions.

Join a cashback website (e.g., Bing Cashback or Ebates). It may take awhile for you to receive your "cash back", but you do receive your $$ back. Be aware that certain cashback websites (e.g., Bing Cashback) are very strict about how you earn your cash back; they may not allow you to use a promotion code. If you do apply a promotion code, you may not receive credit for cash back.

SHOPPING TIP: Don't Forget Sample Sales and Warehouse Sales

If you live near LA or NYC, don't forget to check out the samples sales and warehouse sales. You can find great pieces at great prices. For sample sales, go early for popular designers because it's a pretty good bet that there will be a line. Barney's has its warehouse sale twice a year. They start slashing prices towards the end, but don't wait too long because all the good stuff will be gone. Be aware that there may or may not be dressing rooms at these sales. If you're the type that needs to try something on before you buy, wear tights and a tank (we've seen women in leotards before). You don't want to end up flashing anyone, do you?
