Get Your Barneys On

Spent part of my Sunday shopping at Barneys New York. If you're not from the area (or Chicago or Beverly Hills, where they also have locations,) you might not be familiar with the luxury retailer. But, oh man, you should be. Barneys carries big-name designer lables (Kiton, Prada, Zegna) as well as a slew of smaller designers, as well as its own house label -- and has impeccable taste. You'd be hard-pressed to dress yourself poorly by wearing anything you buy there. Their Web site is top-notch, too -- take a look and get some ideas, even if you can't afford to have Barneys stock your entire wardrobe.

And, if you are in the city, right now is the Barneys Warehouse sale. It runs through Monday, September 6th. Weekdays 10am-9pm, weekends 10am-7pm. 255 West 17th Street, (212) 450-8400.
