The waiting list for their iconic black and red bucket back may as long as long as Gulfstream's list for a G650. Luckily the Mansur Gavriel bags are less money than the long-range aircraft. Just be warned, prices on the next shipment of bags are up about 25% from last season.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSWpGPTvt6E4Z9AmQD6RxsUXqqP6f8PvRvfztQgKrP3PeQUTlglYjo7ZHXV6k6IZN6dt1SqluXs5W-6aj6_IassFEna8UMEshewVF5-aV_KXmM7COwfE3Uk9X2_-0gRoFnVxPyZA4biS0/s1600/Mansur-Gavriel-Bucket-Bag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSWpGPTvt6E4Z9AmQD6RxsUXqqP6f8PvRvfztQgKrP3PeQUTlglYjo7ZHXV6k6IZN6dt1SqluXs5W-6aj6_IassFEna8UMEshewVF5-aV_KXmM7COwfE3Uk9X2_-0gRoFnVxPyZA4biS0/s1600/Mansur-Gavriel-Bucket-Bag.jpg" height="187" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />Taking the price inflation and hype over this brand, we would seriously recommend investing in an alternative bucket bag.

The entire collection is discounted about 30% off and almost every item is still in stock online and in many Manhattan surrounding stores.<br /><br /><div style="background: white; height: 330px; margin: 0px auto; width: 370px;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="330px" scrolling="no" src="http://currentlyobsessed.me/api/v1/get_widget?wid=30&blog=Madison+Avenue+Spy&widgetid=101845" width="370px"></iframe></div>Although the Brittish designer is loved by fashion insiders, he isn't commercially known throughout the United Sates. We imagine that most people, even in the New York area, had no idea who designed the kaleidoscopic prints. And, apparently, not too many consumers wanted to jump into the rainbow of Pilotto's separates. That just means more for us.<br /><br />Some of the collection's most popular items are still available and are on sale. The <a href="http://bit.ly/1fG2OWZ">iris print strapless dress</a> is available in limited sizes and is now reduced to $56 from $80, the <a href="http://bit.ly/MM2tLq">belted green floral print dress</a> worn by actress Taylor Schilling at the launch party is $35 from $50 and this <a href="http://bit.ly/1csCVzJ">light blue floral and stripped sweatshirt</a> is $21 from $30.<br /><br />Putting aside the most popular pieces, we prefer the more novel summer items. The <a href="http://bit.ly/NtKKJH">brightly patterned beach towel</a> for $17.50 from $25 and is a great hostess gift or a great way to brighten your poolside. The <a href="http://bit.ly/1fG4ksc">black and white print sneakers</a> for $21 from $30 are as good as any Givenchy print slip-on sneaker. The <a href="http://bit.ly/1cArzUx">iris print tote bag</a> for $28 from $40 is also perfect for beach.<br /><br />Considering the disappointment of the last few collaborations, Target may want to give Missoni another chance.

It's no secret that the Monika Chiang brand had trouble getting traction among consumers but the end is always a surprise.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmCpSWrJ8mpDGIWsyLP5R9HdYa50nZHzpNC2en2zoHfJdgdV_TCyjTlhTgUg-joXnh0i5r2CCdmaBBDaEkn171yTKBckPbythkVVtC5eYlPszzVCfkA7R_e6b74KVtJCFk0Ky75ylohQY/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmCpSWrJ8mpDGIWsyLP5R9HdYa50nZHzpNC2en2zoHfJdgdV_TCyjTlhTgUg-joXnh0i5r2CCdmaBBDaEkn171yTKBckPbythkVVtC5eYlPszzVCfkA7R_e6b74KVtJCFk0Ky75ylohQY/s400/photo+1.JPG" /></a></div>Sample sale organizers wouldn't confirm that this was a liquidation sale. It's not a leap to assume that the company is closing considering the brand's well-publicized layoffs, there's no retail distribution this season and the website wasn't stocked with spring merchandise. So, we say good-bye to Monika Chiang and suggest that shoppers not miss this shopping opportunity.<br /><br />Inside the sale, you will find leather moto jackets (toupee, wine and blue-grey) reduced to $100 from almost $1000. There were still a few motos in black but all were a size xs. Leather pants are all priced at $80 and the inventory includes <a href="http://www.monikachiang.com/shop/designer-clothing/designer-womens-bottoms/leather-legging-platine.html">stretch leather leggings</a> (silver, black, gray), <a href="http://www.monikachiang.com/shop/designer-clothing/designer-womens-bottoms/leather-boyfriend-cargo-pant.html">leather cargo</a> (black), leather moto (black, gray, light blue, pink) and leather sweat-pants (black). The retail prices on most of these styles range from $700 to $1100. We also found a selection of leather body-suits and tops, both for $65 from $795.<br /><br />We admit, it's hard to get past all the leather that's reduced about 90% but there are still lots of other sale items. Almost everything from the <a href="http://nymag.com/thecut/runway/2013/fall/new-york/rtw/monika-chiang/">Fall 2013 presentation</a> can be found at the sale. The heavy weight canvas jackets and long wool coats are $100. The sale also has a full rack of stretch dresses with sexy mesh incerts for $50 from $325. There are also racks of assorted tees and tops. None were very interesting to most shoppers.<br /><br />All of the bags are priced at $50, which is a huge discount from about $600. There are lots of <a href="http://www.monikachiang.com/shop/designer-handbags/caiman-clutch-gunmetal.html">these leather embossed clutches</a>, <a href="http://www.monikachiang.com/shop/designer-handbags/motley-hobo-chocolate.html">this large hobo</a> and <a href="http://www.monikachiang.com/shop/designer-handbags/pony-shoulder-bag.html">this pony shoulder bag</a>. The shoe selection is mostly tranny heels and cheesy over-embellished wedge sneakers. Although the shoe styles aren't very desirable, the all-under-$69-price-point is. Every shoe from the <a href="http://www.monikachiang.com/shop/designer-footwear/view-all.html">Monika Chiang site</a> is represented at the sale. The OTK boots and shearling boots were the only styles that completely sold out.<br /><br />Click clack your mouse on the link below to see a full range of photos from the sale, along with the complete price sheet.<br /><br /><b>Monika Chaing Sample Sale</b><br />Monday, March 3 through Sunday, March 9<br />Mon—Sat 10am—7pm, Sun 10am—3pm<br />225 Fifth Ave (btwn 26th and 27th<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Her designs resemble those of very high-end designers but the mass production and lower price point makes her collections a lot more affordable.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9Jg95iVGH2OVRTKDeZTdns1Mo0DUFaRxj05vDnN4TXDQ9ju5aLQypr-zwIC66VIF47iREXqAQmRhz_O7cPLIXVWKWr2-aN6IgP0lSyMwpqVqezePqQ9eGkzSAedvepvkIvKQ6GzgNrPc/s1600/Monika-Chiang-high--5top.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9Jg95iVGH2OVRTKDeZTdns1Mo0DUFaRxj05vDnN4TXDQ9ju5aLQypr-zwIC66VIF47iREXqAQmRhz_O7cPLIXVWKWr2-aN6IgP0lSyMwpqVqezePqQ9eGkzSAedvepvkIvKQ6GzgNrPc/s400/Monika-Chiang-high--5top.jpg" height="400" width="266" /></a></div>Monika's designs will be even be more pocket friendly with the start of her sample sale, on Monday. We are told that leather jackets will start at $100 and leather pants will be priced at $80. For reference, a leather jacket is usually pried at about $1000 and stretch leather pants are only a bit less than that. The quality of these items very much resembles that of Tory Burch. (Har,har.) Dresses will be priced at $50, jewelry will be priced from $20 to $40 and shoes between $40 to $65.<br /><br />This summer, Monika hosted a sample sale of just accessories and shoes, which was a huge hit. Bags were all priced under $100 shoes were all under $100. According to those-in-the-know, tomorrows prices will even be better. We would also consider the how long this sample sale is scheduled and can only assume that the amount of merchandise will be huge! (If only, Monika's Birkin collection was included...)

The style looks particularly adorable on kids. We suggest experimenting with the styling of your letterman outerwear. Try it with a short flared skirt, shorts, or jeans (skinny or boyfriend). As far as footwear, dress it up with booties or heels, or keep it casual with slip-on or oxfords. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can check out my entire <a href="http://www.ebay.com/cln/madisonavespy/Varsity-Jackets/81274309010">eBay collection of preppy outerwear here</a>.

We suggest asking a sales manager if you're on the hunt.<br /><br />Participating stores include, Austin Brodie Oaks Shopping Center, Arundel Mills, Camarillo Premium Outlets, Fashion Outlets of Chicago, Franklin Mills, Grapevine Mills, Great Lakes Crossing, Gurnee Mills, Katy Mills, Milpitas Great Mall, Potomac Mills, Sawgrass Mills, Sugarloaf Mills, The Outlets at Orange, <b>The Outlet Collection-Jersey Gardens</b>, Livermore Premium Outlets, Arizona Mills, and <b>Woodbury Common Premium Outlets</b>.

The sale starts on Tuesday, at 7am and represents the first real markdown opportunity of the season. The discount can be applied to both full price and sale merchandise. Use the code <a href="http://bit.ly/16cpwmu">BIGEVENT14</a> at checkout to activate your savings.<br /><br />The discount runs as follows:<br /><dir>Spend $250+ Save 20%<br />Spend $500+ Save 25%<br />Spend $1000+ Save 30%</dir><br />As far as we can see there are no designer restrictions, which means this discount is a lot more valuable than a department store's friends and family sale. While browsing, we came across this playful dress from the increasingly popular designer, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/Ostwald%20Helgason">Ostwald Helgason.</a> The price is $1,020, so the 30% savings would come to over $300. This <a href="http://bit.ly/1bHzMLx">Jason Wu jacket </a>is normally $2500 but will come to $1750 with the discount. We absolutely love this <a href="http://bit.ly/1ednZnF">Lisa Perry stripped sweater</a> comes to $315 from $395.<br /><br /><div style="background: white; height: 330px; margin: 0px auto; width: 370px;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="330px" scrolling="no" src="http://currentlyobsessed.me/api/v1/get_widget?wid=30&blog=Madison+Avenue+Spy&widgetid=98503" width="370px"></iframe></div><br />If you head to the sale section, you should check out this <a href="http://bit.ly/1hMO2FK">Ellery sequined dress</a> that will come to $415 from an original price of $1800. This <a href="http://bit.ly/1gymkXO">slinky Viktor & Rolf dress</a> Was $1500 and comes to just about $350. A Milly sweater with a dalmation collar is absoutly adorable and totally affordable at about $100 from an original price of $326. There are also <a href="http://bit.ly/1gynVNv">J Brand super skinny jeans</a> reduced to about $70 from $185 and <a href="http://bit.ly/1lhbVWr">Won Hundred jeans</a> are about $90 from $221.<br /><br />The sale only runs until midnight, Thursday, February 27.

Crew</a> has created a strong footprint along Madison Avenue with four stores between 66st and 87st. This spring, little sister, <a href="http://bit.ly/1h2MIef">Madewell</a> is be jointing the Madison Avenue family with a store located between 84th and 85th Street.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX_TsN2Eo_7igdqUY54sOC8lkJOecLWBawk_HwNqLAGny3y-ar3522YwynfeL9halb5GenH7hiNIm04BJpmPGoNaJk6dUxmH_5ovMv299DipfnD7icUKMFX6yuGP6J-tL51o7zXNcM5A4/s1600/MadewellMadison.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX_TsN2Eo_7igdqUY54sOC8lkJOecLWBawk_HwNqLAGny3y-ar3522YwynfeL9halb5GenH7hiNIm04BJpmPGoNaJk6dUxmH_5ovMv299DipfnD7icUKMFX6yuGP6J-tL51o7zXNcM5A4/s1600/MadewellMadison.JPG" height="400" width="300" /></a></div><br /><br />This will be <a href="http://bit.ly/1h2MIef">Madewell's</a> third store in Manhattan but its first uptown location. The new space is appropriately situated between Teavana and LuluLemon. It is clear that<a href="http://bit.ly/MG4B8b"> J. Crew</a> has big expansion plans for Madewell. In the first nine months of 2013, the company opened 13 Madewell stores, bringing the total tally to 65. <br /><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/1h2MIef">Madewell</a> is known for their effortlessly cool and laid back aesthetic. Think, Canadian tuxedo with lots of downtown cool. Jeans are normally priced at $125, a dress is $160, flannels are $80. (You'll also want to know that Madewell offers a college and teacher discount of 15% with a valid I.D.) The brand's biggest competitors are <a href="http://bit.ly/MG4Pw1">Gap</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/1h302iJ">Urban Outfitters</a>, which are both directly East, on Third Avenue. <br /><br />We just hope that Madewell doesn't play the same tricky pricing games as the Madison Avenue <a href="http://bit.ly/MG4B8b">J. Crew </a>stores. Do we really need to be charged more for the same item because we are shopping on Madison Avenue? Frankly, it seems quite opportunistic and nearly unethical.

Most recently, the Madison Avenue department store practically eliminated their sale and moved most of the discount items online to <a href="http://bit.ly/1earZkg">Barneys Warehouse</a> micro-site.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi14_O7Qn1FVVAvdh9QDaE9swB_2PbR5-sGnR_qvWfP6kV2jMjVtuii-obV8l-m7OdrIEiTKz8LbJb30XFg5xjVdSR89j2NII7mDnMebUiJR3vpa7lcnN-9yy5BkoAwbgKdrAkypbdV8A4/s1600/milan-fendi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi14_O7Qn1FVVAvdh9QDaE9swB_2PbR5-sGnR_qvWfP6kV2jMjVtuii-obV8l-m7OdrIEiTKz8LbJb30XFg5xjVdSR89j2NII7mDnMebUiJR3vpa7lcnN-9yy5BkoAwbgKdrAkypbdV8A4/s400/milan-fendi.jpg" height="269" width="400" /></a></div>While searching for this season's marked down <a href="http://bit.ly/1mds50W">Fendi-shoes-that-got-away</a> we found a healthy selection of this winter's sale merchandise at Barneys Warehouse site. The aforementioned <a href="http://bit.ly/1nQf509">shoes with fur trim</a> are $679 from $1700. While the shoe discounts might not be as good as a sample sale, finding seasonal icons at this time of year can be difficult. Most discount stores pull last season's merchandise and warehouse them until next year.<br /><br />The markdowns are better if you're still looking this season's winter clothing. A jumpsuit from <a href="http://bit.ly/MDIP50">The Row</a> is $1050 from $4190, a<a href="http://bit.ly/MDLbkh"> Carven wool gazar strapless dress</a> is $270 from $910 and a spring appropriate <a href="http://bit.ly/1nQhCY5">Prabal Gurung aqua dress</a> is $459 from $1825.<br /><br />Just take note, that like the <a href="http://bit.ly/1earZkg">Warehouse sale</a> of days past, there are no returns allowed from the online site.

We don't, however, live in a cardboard box. On occasion we need to take the time to nourish our surroundings with beautiful and inspiring design.

Since <a href="http://bit.ly/MtUHX8">Bergdorf Goodman</a> starts their sale later in the season, it's not surprising that their sale runs later than most. Right now, the <a href="http://bit.ly/MtUHX8">Fifth Avenue store</a> is clearing out the last of their winter merchandise and there are some really great items marked more than 75% off. <br /><br /><div style="background: white; height: 330px; margin: 0px auto; width: 370px;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="330px" scrolling="no" src="http://currentlyobsessed.me/api/v1/get_widget?wid=30&blog=Madison+Avenue+Spy&widgetid=96415" width="370px"></iframe></div>Inside the Chanel boutique there isn't a lot of selection beyond an assortment of size 50s. We did find a gorgeous hunter green cashmere cardigan with burgundy trim is about $790 from $3145. (That's less expensive than a resale store.)<br /><br />Heading up to the sixth floor, you will find most sale items consolidated. A <a href="http://bit.ly/M7epqZ">Roland Mouret jacket</a> is $637 from $2550, a <a href="http://bit.ly/1j5IaVc">Peter Pilotto print dress</a> is $373 from $1495 and a <a href="http://bit.ly/1j6cQWc">DVF body-con dress</a> is $116 from $465. Unfortunately, there aren't any bags that are worthwhile but there are some shoes and accessories that may help you get through these final snowstorms. <a href="http://bit.ly/MtRgQi">Maison Martin Margiela long patent leather gloves</a> are $203 from $815, s<a href="http://bit.ly/Mttvrx">hearling lined Prada moto boots</a> are about $500 from $1100, <a href="http://bit.ly/M7eI5c">studded oxfords</a> are $337 from $750 and <a href="http://bit.ly/1fulqd9">Saint Laurent riding boots</a> are $740 from $1645.<br /><br />Although it may seem late to buy winter merchandise, the heard truth is that we likely have at least two more months of cold weather. Perhaps a few new pieces of winter clothing will have you rejoicing from the next snow storm?

Like, so-and-so popularized the use of the term "wasabi," in place of "what's up." Well I've made it my personal mission to popularize Pink Wednesdays. Yes, like in the movie Mean Girls. After all, "On Wednesdays we wear pink." This season, designers are making it easy to blush it up, with a large assortment of pink to choose from. J. Crew showed the prettiest pastel pink coat, Thakoon opted for a hot pink and Delpozo used a petal pink. Now, who is jointing me in Pink Wednesdays?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2867644132563922425.post-29329662226464397752014-02-11T19:19:00.000-08:002014-03-09T07:49:49.768-07:00Last Minute Valentine's Day Gift<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Valentine's Day is one of the most challenging holidays to shop for a man.

They are sexy, hard and sometimes nuts. This season we see all shapes and sizes of the winter staple. Check out Alexander Wang's mid-calf-mule-boot. The laser-cut leather detailing adds texture and style. Tory Burch footwear was a mashup of heavy wool knee-highs and lace-up pumps. Diesel took a modern take on the cowboy boot with multiple buckles and a metal toe.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKb-_-_UzzHCId6PVJnMY3hQdVBua8Z1MW1sMHSPN0dI4pC1KPsxNoFqE5cyMuzcah8-Qhm_aQWvLJU3ZOYkZMkD-QdVn7NI3XFRQFTnug5ziWZDoR9Kjr8WNUaf9aVhZK6TaopsZ0t8Q/s1600/picstitch-18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKb-_-_UzzHCId6PVJnMY3hQdVBua8Z1MW1sMHSPN0dI4pC1KPsxNoFqE5cyMuzcah8-Qhm_aQWvLJU3ZOYkZMkD-QdVn7NI3XFRQFTnug5ziWZDoR9Kjr8WNUaf9aVhZK6TaopsZ0t8Q/s1600/picstitch-18.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><b>Silver Lame Lives</b><br />Last season we highlighted the growing popularity of gold lame. This season we see designers turning to the trend's twin sister-- silver lame. Pamella Roland paired textured lame pants with a heavy fur silver fur topper. Libertine used silver lame to create a chessboard textured top and paired it with embellished pants. Vera Wang went with silver lame cropped pants with a transparent blouse and added extra long fur scarf for a texture of luxe.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
