Barney's New York Warehouse sale

The start of the infamous Barney's New York Warehouse sale is nearing. Twice a year their chelsea  basement warehouse is stocked with last season's designer dresses, jeans and shoes at incredible prices. By the last day, prices can be reduced by up to 90%. The warehouse is no where near as glamourous as shopping in the department store. It is filled with aggressive women who will grab anything they see, there are no dressing rooms and sales people are not present to help. Furthermore, you really must "dig" to find what you want in your size. Nevertheless, items are amazing. Last years finds included a Marc by Marc Jacobs silk dress for $60 (originally $465) and a pair of tsubi jeans for $30 (originally $185) as well as two large shopping bags worth of clothing. The sale begins on valentines day. It is worth arriving there early given the long lines.
