^ I saw a rope bracelet in one of the bins. Most of the mens shoes were beat to dust.

Oh God!!!!!!!!!!! Someone...anyone...grab it for me if it's still there. I'll pay you via paypal or whatever.

I'm desperate.

So today wasn't the last day of the Helmut sale? If not, when?

Theory · 07-07-2005

I like it...sort of a safari jacket, but sharply tailored....

Century 21 is having its summer clearance. Lots of items are Pay Half of the already reduced price.

Theory, last day is Sunday. I went today, and I bought two things, I'll post in the holic thread.. Alex, there weren't any rope bracelets and I rammaged through the entire accessories bin.

Faust I will check your post in that thread (can't find a link to my stuff as they are tagged actual samples) but I'd like to get your overall impressions of the sale/review...I was pleasantly surprised and most of all, should I head back tomorrow for a last scavenger hunt (I love the fit of my stretch poplin shirt).

I'm thinking of returning as well. It's really a scavenger hunt. I feel like a vulture, but I'll at least be well dressed! ;-)

Theory, you should post a pic of your pruchase as well - sounds great!

Hmmm, I think it's worth returning if you are a size 50, or if you are looking for jeans/jean jackets. Otherwise it might not be worth it.

theory...thanks for the heads up re-century...
one of the few places i can shop without guilt as i havea store credit i must use before i lose or forget about it...

i made quite a few purchases at helmut lang...both men's and womenswear...
i am torn between the guilt of spending the cash and the glee of the incredible pieces...

...

fyi.all girls...
most women's pants are a size 40...if you are small..you will have a better chance...
but all runway pieces are pretty much long gone..
and all the best footwear is the opposite....size 9,10,11...but some lovely (if slightly odd) shoes and great buys if that's your size...

Thank you so much for the info! I guess I'll stay in Boston for the LouisBoston sale tomorrow. I am going to get up early

40 is big on me

I'm petite and I lost almost 10 lbs since the hot weather came

excuse me! what is gross (well, i guess gross is not the right word

) are a bunch of women shamelessly undressing in front of strangers for a shallow reason

. what really killed me is a 45yr old couple with their five year old daughter there who were BOTH trying clothes in front of everyone - now that's creepy!

haha I saw them. I think she was a bit older, unless I'm thinking of a different couple, I remember them making her hold clothes.
