Rather than Valentine's Day, which is lame no matter where you stand on the spectrum of involved-ness, let's think of today as Barney's Warehouse Sale Day. Yes, folks, it has begun, and we will drink to that, but let's not lose our heads. Racked has a report from the front-lines this morning, (actually, they have about six posts so far) where shoppers were lined up, waiting to get inside. People! The sale goes until March 2.

We kind of don't even want to tell you about this one, because that may mean fewer jeans left for us (yes, there will be denim at this sale.) Uniqlo's sample sale starts Wednesday, the 26th, at 9AM, so nurse that Christmas hangover with these prices:
Knit tops- $5.00
Sweaters- $10.00
Woven Tops- $10.00
Bottoms- $10.00
Cashmere- $15.00
Jackets- $20.00
The sale ends when the goods are all snatched up.

Full disclosure: The founders of Lifebooker, a new website which is like Open Table, but for spas, are friends of Threadster's. For the holidays, they have gift certificates, which means you can give your mom a massage without a) rubbing her anywhere, or b) having to figure out whether she wants reflexology or aromatherapy. Or she could decide to book some acupuncture or a fake tan or a Brazilian—ew—instead.
If you're not feeling the holiday spirit just yet, you might be more interested in this link, which tells you how to get $50 off any spa treatment through the website. You look like you could use an Ayurvedic Baltic Mud Wrap or something.

If you don't know the store La Sirena, Threadster is doing you a favor today. Every Christmas, we hit up this tiny Mexican imports shop on East 3rd for traditional Oaxacan sculptures, decorative mirrors, embroidered tunics, and cool hard plastic shopping bags. Starting Thursday, owner Dina Leor is holding a big sale, so now we can get some stuff for ourselves.

The Barney's Warehouse Sale, where you can see a lot of skinny bitches looking stressed out in their undies, starts tomorrow. We've been hitting this baby for years, and the snagged some of our favorite things there in the early days. Recently it has mostly seemed like a great opportunity to buy size 14 Marc Jacobs jackets that look like Marc Jacobs knockoffs. It's widely known that the Warehouse Sale is not what it once was, and yet, we'll be there, as always.

As a teenager, I used to pass by the Morgan Le Fay store once a week, and would press my zitty face up to the window to gaze at the dreamy, voluminous dresses. Then, when my sister got married, I went to a sample sale there and bought one of those beautiful dresses. On Monday, the sample sale comes again, and if you're in the market for something special, whether it be a flirty party dress or a wedding gown, you need to hit this up.

Have you not been watching the pee and poop plushies at fredflare.com? Lucky for you, we have, so now you know they finally went on sale. When the pair was going for $40, it was a stretch, but at $29.99, we're ready to own some soft, cuddly excrement.

On Saturday, we slept all day. Like, literally all day. So we already hated ourselves, even before our two friends modeled the six dresses they bought (collectively) at the bird sale in Cobble Hill while we were drooling on a pillow. There are items at 25, 50, and 75% off from designers like Philip Lim, Trovata, Generra, Alice Ritter, etc. Check out the stuff here while you're still in your cubicle, and later, we'll fight you for those Sigerson Morrison huarache sandals, biotch.
