So kids. Don’t have a Valentine? It’s okay, me neither. And I know just the thing that’ll cheer you up…
SHOPPING!
I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, and I’ve finally gotten my lazy butt to do it. We all know that awesome sales go on during the weekends (thank you Daily Candy and Refinery 29), but it takes forever to figure out where the sales are, what time the stores are open, how many sales are near each other…blahdeeblahdeeblah.
SO. I’ve done the hard work for you. All you have to do is print out the itinerary + map, and go shopping. It’s okay. You’re welcome. I do it because I am truly deeply completely madly in love with you. Happy Valentine’s Day :)

Hey this is Nathan! I was spotted by Caroline a while back and I Just wanted to let you know the sales were amazing!! So let me break it down for you. . .
1. Go to Odin! AMAZING Rag&Bone + Philip Lim. I think I’m going back tomorrow to get more (hope there are further price reducs). Also there were probably the last bits of Obedient Sons you will ever find which were OOC (out of control). Also there was no a large selection of women’s clothing so girls might want to pass on this one.
2. Couldn’t find the Opening Ceremony sample sale?? Don’t know what happened but I went to the address and the Opening Ceremony workers said there was no sale.
3. Barney’s is way to overpriced right now! I’m gonna wait a while longer for some more price slashes!
Okay so overall it was an amazing day and I got some really great buys! Hope all your shopping goes well :)
Nathan!! Thanks so much for the response…what an awesome review wow. I’m glad you got to check out the sales, SO sorry to hear that the Opening Ceremony sale was MIA… =\
I’m going to be posting more shopping itineraries so keep us updated if you get to go out again!
This is such a good idea!! I wish I was in New York, I completely missed out!
