Desperately Seeking ______________ on Sale...
What are you desperately seeking on sale?
Food Therapy
Good food is as satisfying as a good sale. So from time to time (probably more than that because I'm a foodie and I love to eat), I'll be providing some food therapy. Be forewarned, I'm an adventurous eater with a HUGE sweet tooth. If you're in NYC, I hope you try some of these spots. If you do, LMK what you think. Bon appetit!
Video Reviews
While picture reveals of bags are nice. Video reviews of bags are better! As such, I will endeavor to post as many video reviews of bags as possible. However, I will only be reviewing bags that I like. Life is too short to review bags that I dislike. Plus, at the end of the day, it really is just a matter of personal opinion/taste.

J Brand Factory Outlet (LA)
For all you luck L.A. ladies, apparently there's a J Brand Factory Outlet near you. It's located at the following address:
1225 East Washington Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90021
Hours as follows:
Mon - Thrs: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Fri: 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Note: There will be a Memorial Day Sale! All jeans will be $50 on 5/31/10. Buy 4 pairs and get $10 off your purchase.
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 to Take Pictures When Returning/Exchanging Damaged Goods
If the item you ordered arrives damaged (or is the wrong item), takes pictures of the item and the tag(s) before you send it back for a return/exchange. Make sure to take a picture of not only the item, but the a close-up of the damage. Just in case there's some confusion/misunderstanding with the return/exchange department, you'll have pictures as back-up.
SHOPPING TIP: Don't Forget Price Matching
Most department stores and some boutiques will price match their competitors. For retail websites, this mean other retail websites. For brick-and-mortar stores, this mean other local brick-and-mortar stores (and possibly retail websites). Price matching may save you time, tax and/or shipping costs.
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?
SHOPPING TIP: Subscribe to Your Favorite Stores' E-Mail Updates
Most retail websites will send you promotion codes and/or notice of sales when you sign up for their e-mail updates. To avoid e-mail clutter in you main/personal e-mail account, create a separate e-mail account for this purpose. Brick-and-mortar only stores, especially discount store (e.g., Loehmann's and Filene's Basement), will send to you printable coupons for in-store purchases.
Shopping Tip: Research Travel Accommodations On TripAdvisor.com
Before you book a vacation, spend a little time on TripAdvisor.com, my favorite travel site. The travel reviews are abundant, honest and helpful. Someone else's idea of a 4-star hotel may not be your idea of a 4-star hotel. Know before you go because once you're there, it's too late.
