@seattleinthecity: Dooood. Nice bargains. I would give my left eye tooth for a $150 eggplant Dash. I have too much love for Marc Jacobs.

@NewsBunny: It's like a button made out of fancy rope or ribbon - one side has a knot and the other side has a loop. Famously used on traditional Chinese garments.

Here are some examples: http://www.sewbizfabrics.com/FC1.shtml

And how are the counterfeitters faring this holiday season, what with the real thing on such *outrageous* prices?!

Will someone think of them this holiday season?!

Why do I never hear about this shit? The best I've ever done is a Calvin Klein for $37 at Last Call.

Sounds like the Vivienne Westwood sample sale in London the other week. Viv Westwood handbags from £40... it was hooorrible. Miserable rude staff, elbows eeeverywhere. Got a gorgeous bag though. It was worth it. Just about.

@bleedingmouths: And did you think about your US friend over here?

Now I don't feel bad about drinking your vodka. And other assorted liquers and liquors.

@Miss Smith Drank Your Vodka:

Only problem is, all the hipsters in town got word of the sale, so now my lovely black tank bag with discreet logo has competition. This guy who gets on my bus to work must have splashed out on a similar bag but a size up. I get all embarrassed and hide my bag when he gets on. Or, maybe just maybe he bought his full price. In which case, Ha!

@bleedingmouths: Miserable staff? I worked that sale and I got punched by a 40 year old guy who wanted to look at some ties. I had grounds to be miserable. And it was my birthday.

@bleedingmouths: Only problem is, all the hipsters in town g...: The sale was advertised in the back of the Evening Standard, so what do you expect?!!

Anyway, discounted Marc Jacobs. I can only hope that I find something marvellous when I hit LA next week.

@miss_cookie: Well I didn't know that, so I did not expect that. I went because a friend invited me. I've been to a lot of sample sales and that one was probably the craziest I've been to. Perhaps I've been lucky.

Getting punched...well... sucks! Sorry to hear that. I got a lot of elbows in the stomach while I tried to peer at the sodding jewellery. My problem was more with the attitude of customers there, but then I tend to get anxious around any crowd. Actually the woman who eventually served me at the jewellery was sweet, and going with a buddy made the whole thing into more of an adventure.

@bleedingmouths: @seattleinthecity:

We had a VIP night the day before the public sale which I thought would be calmer, but ugh it was NOTHING compared to the main day.

And yeah I had a lot of strong drinks that night. To be honest by midnight I could barely remember what the black bruise on my arm was for.

@bleedingmouths: The Saturday was horrific! I had to pull a woman out of a box when people pushed her head first into it. I got called a 'stuck up whore', that was when the punch happened, and people queued for four hours.

One group of women stood in the corner for 2 hours, doing *nothing* just waiting to see if we would get some more felt bags out. Friday was a walk in the park compared!

I should probably take this moment to apologize for the roundhouse kick I delivered to that young lady who was standing between me and the pink bag. But her awesome shoes tell me she understands my Temporary Fashion Derangement (which will appear in the DSM-V).

Pssssh, my mom bought a black Marc Jacobs Black for over 60% off at Neiman Marcus today and didn't even have to punch a hipster for it. She called me at work, she was so excited. It was adorable.

@pssshwhatever: my mom has also called me about buying a purse on sale - she was at Barney's? in San Fransisco. She had no idea stores had concierges. It was adorable as well. The only word for it.

I was in a Coach outlet on Saturday and they were doing 50% off of all already discounted merch. It was a madhouse. I returned today to get myself a birthday present and things were much calmer. Thank you relatives, for sending money! And thank you shitty economy for an upside to unemployment... now I can spend all the extra freetime shopping.
