Sale of the Week: West Edgey
This is what is meant by “new classics;” a runway look from F/W 09 Dries Van Noten, one of the lines on sale at Jack Straw
The cure for postholiday ennui: Postholiday sales. Lucky for you, the next few weeks will see plenty of ’em.
Not sure what it is about West Edge retailers, but they’re darn good at getting word out. Having received notes from the handful below regarding their markdowns, we’ll start there, with a critical mass of savings on edgy but wearable style down between Pio Square and Downtown on Western and First Avenues. Consider making a day or a lunch hour out of it.
(For snacks along the way, I recommend the Spanish Table and/or Paris Grocery; for warm beverages, Stella Caffe or Fonte Coffee, see #6 here)
