THE DEAL: 25% off on all clearance items

THE LOWDOWN: Run on over to Macy’s for their mid-season clearance on the clearance sale, where you will save anywhere from 40-70% on all previously marked items. Choose from an assortment of Jeans, polo shirts, t-shirts and business attire from DKNY, Polo, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Guess and more. The clothes are marked down to unbeatable prices, for offers you can’t refuse.

To make the deal even better, 25% of the clearance price will be taken off at the register. Although the sale is on for the rest of the season, get over there as soon as you can for the best buys.

Okay, try this.

Walk over to your nearest female colleague and tell her that an old college buddy works for Nordstroms and “gave” you a brand new Kate Spade leather handbag as payment for something you did for him.  Tell your co-worker that, since you don’t carry handbags, you wanted to know if she “wanted” the bag.  For free.

Watch her eyes light up and her pulse quicken with the thought of scoring the designer handbag.

We feel the same about Jack Spade, the “male accessories/clothing/etc” line by the folk behind Kate Spade. While the line isn’t cheap, it’s pretty much one of the only male accessory lines to actually have accessories like wallets in colors other than black and brown. We’re big fans of the Canal Street Hipster Wallet, ($25 at jackspade.com) made from those plaid plastic bags you find at your local laundromat.

Disclaimer: We’re not responsible for any violence that may result from not supplying the handbag to your colleague.
