intermix warehouse review

*
made it to the intermix warehouse sale tonight at the metropolitan pavilion. intermix is a store i love, but too moderate in price points for me to actually purchase items there at the full price. there were a lot of clothes at the sale. some nice pieces from DVF, elizabeth & james, and thread social. the only problem? i searched thru racks of clothing trying to find the right size. the closest i got was size 2 for the elizabeth & james and thread social pieces i was interested in.

elizabeth & james cascade dress. (the one for sale was in ochre)

tragically, the elizabeth & james dress size 2 was still loose, they (ie. olsen twins) really should have sized that thing a 4.

thread social one shoulder dress with knot detail.
(the one for sale was navy blue)

the thread social size 2 did fit o-k, but it was not greatly discounted and still was $309(!) bastards.

i ended up getting a casual flannel slim fit dress from american colors by henry lehr.

if ur in the city and interested in picking up pieces from this intermix sale, run, don't walk...small sizes are going fast.

i also finally got my zannclip in the mail. alas, too lazy to walk to barney's and buy one. i'm hoping it lives up to all the hype.

large platinum plate zannclip.

my hair is long enough to waste a lot of shampoo (as my sister would say). let's see if this clip can hold it all up.

angel lee & morgane le fay

*
was post-call on tuesday and spent a lazy afternoon downtown shopping. the angel lee sample sale was boasting $5 costume jewelry from such name brands as bcbg, banana republic, french connection, j crew et al. there were also actual angel lee items for sale, but those were way over $5 and really, costume jewelry is not worth >$5. i did pick up a few necklaces and a bracelet:


i also dropped by the morgane le fay sample sale. there were loads of items at this sale, mostly a lot of ethereal pieces from the spring/summer collection. i spent over an hour searching through racks of merch before finally settling on this piece:


i heart this dress. totally wearable. could be worn casual or dressed up. i think it may even be made work-wearable if paired with a blazer/jacket.

other events this week? well, today was the jimmy choo sample sale. but hours were totally not work-friendly.

tomorrow, hoping to check out intermix's warehouse sale...will highly depend on when i get off work. bah.
