Chelsea – The Blog

It’s so funny how whenever we have our big sales (summer & New Year’s), even though we’ve been selling the wares for the previous several months, we shopgirls suddenly feel compelled to grab up some deals ourselves. Call it catching the sale bug. Call it fear of loss. Either way, we invariably join in the fun and grab some end-of-season delights to give the ole wardrobe a little boost until the really exciting new season’s merch starts arriving en force.

By virtue of the fact that we have been slinging the hash, we know the good stuff. Or at least we have our opinions about what the best items are to take advantage of picking up on sale. That in mind, I put it to the team to weigh in on what they each deem to be the most exciting pieces currently on clearance at our 12th (!) Annual New Year’s Sale. Here’s what they came back with.

Heather  Genetic Shya Cig cords in Napa “I love them because it’s a great way to be on-trend (with a pop of color solids on the bottom) while still being in my comfort zone and being comfortable IN them. They are flattering on nearly everyone and look great with a brown or black tall boot. Having them on sale is the perfect way to get in on the trend without breaking the bank. I also love them because it’s a great way to convince myself that I need another pair of pants because they will be like nothing else in my closet!” Were $187, now $140. We also love these and these, and these were the best-sellers of the season – only a size 24 was left to go on sale, or try these which are brand new and blowing out (but sadly, not on sale).

Lesley  LuLu Designs Blossom Necklace “I’m not the type to wear a necklace on leather, but the gold piece that sits on the end of this necklace is pretty incredible and shouldn’t be overlooked just because of its chain. For starters, simply the weight of the 14 karat pendant lets you know that you have a fabulous piece of jewelry. The design is simple yet elegant and everyday all in one. If I were to get this necklace (which trust me I would if I could!) I would use the pendant and add it to another chain I have or put it along with other charms on a charm necklace. At current gold prices, this necklace is a STEAL!” Was $852, now $340.

Michelle  Manon Sweater by Line “Amidst all the great cashmere pieces we’ve had in the store this season, I am really loving the cotton Manon Sweater from Line – I’ve always had a love affair with the comfy cozy feel of cotton!  Being 9 months pregnant, all I care about is comfort and function which is why this sweater gets so much play in my wardrobe rotation, but I love the fact that a year from now this will still be the piece I’ll reach for over all my other over-sized sweaters.” Was $208, now $156, only (1) XS left – only size to go on sale!

Melanie Susana Monaco Rouched Scoop Top in Caviar “I love this top because it is flattering all over. It has a beautiful neckline and the color is great to dress up, it’s just a fun and sexy winter top.” Was $138, now $69.

And what is my insider sale tip you ask? If I were you I’d grab this stunner of a gown by Tibi in my favorite color of the coming season (bright shrimp red). I know, I know, you wonder where in the world you’ll ever wear it. Top it with a jean jacket or faux fur shrug and a ponytail to make it more edgy, or bank it for that wedding next summer where you’re going to see your ex. With sunkissed skin and peruvian opal jewelry for added pop, you will be the belle of the ball. Was $550, now $414.

Happy New Year! We’ll be taking the day off on Sunday, but will be back open on Monday from 10-6. Come in and check out the sale, or shop the site 24/7. Be sure to check back often, we’ll continue to take new markdowns on remaining inventory, and the sale runs through January 15th.
