my sister was here for a week and i took a few vacation days while she was here. hence the blogging silence. we went to the US open tennis men's semi-finals. the matches themselves were meh (ie. one-sided), and really, the entertainment was all in trying to figure out how many celebrities were in the box seats. there were many. highlights were gavin rossdale & gwen stefani sitting beside anna wintour (avec sunglasses, of course), JT, donald trump (who had the best box beside the commentators), ben stiller (who looked a mess) and jack nicholson.
the entire week, we basically ate ourselves silly...more about that later.
we made a day trip out to woodbury common premium outlets. possibly the most ridiculous outlet mall imaginable. we both bought a few things. i wanted to buy many items from catherine malandrino, but even at outlet prices, it was too expensive. here's one of the items i got:
laundry by shelly segal chiffon tunic. (from nieman marcus last call)
back to city shopping. first day of hayden-harnett's first annual KAPOW! cleaning sale. 60-80% of spring/summer apparel, shoes, & bags. it was a calm frenzy when i got there after work. merchandise was certainly flying off the racks. the swimsuits were a deal at $25. i got this one:
hayden-harnett 2 piece in painterly. (retail $78) sale $25 i then decided to try on a few other swimsuits, and since there was only 1 changing room, had to wait in line again. i was behind these girls who had a bunch of dresses in their hands. upon exiting the change room, they left all the dresses behind. so, i tried them on since they were size xs (and bought 2!)
hayden-harnett penelope dress. (retail $275) sale $55
hayden-harnett artemis dress. (retail $348) sale $69.60
there were lots of nice sandals and boots. only if you have small or large feet (size 5/6 and >8). if you have normal feet, you're out of luck. lots of bags as well...nothing special. if you've had your eye on an h-h bag from the spring collection, now would be the time to get it though.
