My bf said he heard on the news a Barney's is coming to Somerset. He said it's different kind of Barney's though-cheaper or something...Anyhow, someone fill me in on what I should expect! I love it when new stores come to Michigan.
"Cheaper version of Barney's" probably means you're getting a Barney's Co-Op store. That's their contemporary department, which carries brands like Seven and Marc by MJ and Splendid and the like. I love Co-Op!

Barneys Co-op set for Somerset
Barneys Co-op is set to open this fall at Somerset Collection South in Troy.
Co-op is an offshoot of Barneys New York, a luxury department store that had a branch here from 1992-97.
Co-op shoppers tend to skew younger than Barneys New York patrons, and the store is known for edgy and trendy clothing by high-end labels and indie designers.
Look for Juicy Couture, True Religion, Acne Jeans, Earnest Sewn and Rogan.
An idea of prices: $40 for a tank top, $345 for a sleeveless wrap dress by Diane von Furstenburg -- and way beyond.
The store is going into space occupied by Cache and Talbots Kids. Cache is expected to move within the mall; no plans have been announced for Talbots Kids.
When Barneys Co-op opens -- the first in the state -- it will further elevate Somerset Collection as a shopper's paradise.
Until then, you can shop on line at www.barneys.com. By Georgea Kovanis
Get Spanx at Target
Spanx -- a pricey line of shapers, bras and panties sworn to work magic for a body's little imperfections -- is launching a less expensive collection exclusive to Target.
Now, instead of paying about $25 each, you can buy control-top Fabulous Footless Pantyhose and Perfect Pantyhose with an invisible toe for $10 a pair, and Unbelievable Underwear -- a shaper that minimizes tummy, derriere, hips and thighs -- for $15.
