I tried going to the sale at Saks here in NYC but it was so insanely crowded that I gave up and left after about 10 minutes. However, I did order some good stuff from J. Crew and Anthro's sites. Have you done any shopping yet?
There were some pretty good deals at J.Crew, where apparently the sale items I got were an extra 40% off. I also saw some new spring stuff out in stores. I'm planning to hit up Anthro today after work. Hopefully the sale racks aren't all that picked over.
