BTR Burberry Sale to Start Very Soon (Like So Soon I Can't Stand It)

Beyond the Rack has a few decent designer clothes/accessories sales going on right now, but starting today at 11 a.m. (eastern time... I think), a Burberry sale starts! It will include sunglasses and scarves.

There's nothing like shopping Burberry in London, but I imagine an online sale such as this won't be too unfortunate either. Everyone needs a little plaid in her life or just some cute accessories. I'll update this post if I find anything appealing.

That's like the... inside of a raincoat.

UPDATE: Wow, brand whores. I visited Beyond the Rack at 11:18 this morning, and all items in the Burberry sale are spoken for. That is, except for a lovely little purple watch. The sold out stuff is cloaked in Burberry's trademark "look at me, I bought Burberry" pattern. This little guy is going for $119.

One Kings Lane Presents The Fairest.com

While One Kings Lane invites consumers to take part in their designer home sales of up to 70% off of retail prices, Fairest will offer members premier brand beauty sales of up to 75% off of retail.

The address is www.thefairest.com and launches September 1. I can't wait to check it out for myself. Once I do, you can expect a full review!

UPDATE: It's been brought to my attention that I failed to include the url for One Kings Lane. Silly girl... onekingslane.com.

Cincinnati Premium Outlets - I detect a shopper's haven

All the discount divas out there should know by now that Cincinnati Premium Outlets is celebrating its grand opening August 6-9. The outlets, located in Monroe, will house several -go figure- premium brands. Some run along the lines of those at Prime Outlets in Jeffersonville, but there are a few standouts.

New outlet stores I'm excited for?
* Columbia Sportswear
* Kenneth Cole
* Maidenform
* MICHAEL KORS!!!!
* Oakley Vault
* Maybe Saks (hopefully it'll be better than its Cincinnati Mills version)

* Cole Haan
* Ecco
* Rockport
* Le Creuset

Some of you may also be happy to know that there will be a Crocs outlet there. I honestly didn't know they made enough products for an entire store (illustrating my ignorance on the brand). Except, I do know about these lovely Frocs. I do judge anybody over the age of 11 who wears them.

I must say Northern Cincinnati is becoming quite the affordable shopping mecca. A coworker and I were discussing whether Prime or Premium Outlets were a better trip since both are about the same distance for us. We agreed, though I love Jeffersonville, that Premium would be a better destination based on the surrounding area where Ikea and the Frontgate Outlet are both nearby. Jeffersonville is sadly just too isolated from other shopping destinations (although conveniently on the way to and from Columbus, OH).

Check the Cincinnati Premium Outlets site for sales, deals and stores.

Nordstrom Rack in Cincy: dreams do come true!

- Why hello there, Nordstrom Rack.
- Yes, yes I missed you too.
- I realize it's been nearly three years since I visited. I left L.A. though.
- I know. I'm sorry.

- But I'm super glad you're coming to Cincy!

Oh how I do adore Nordstrom Rack. I can't afford to be a snob about it, and even if I could, I think I'd still go. It has all of the luxuries of Nordstrom at half the price. Think of it as THE T.J. Maxx for Nordstrom.

Speaking of which, with Nordstrom coming to town September 25, 2009 (not to be terribly specific) to Kenwood, we Cincinnatians also get the happiness of the Rack - opening its doors November 20, 2009 in Rookwood Pavilion. That's just one week before shopping's darkest day, Black Friday. Now I'm not going to discuss exactly how fair that will be to all of the newbie employees manning the Rack that day, but seriously, isn't it a little mean?

Check Nordstrom's new store openings and mark those calendars, ladies. It's going to be a shopper's paradise in Cincy this Fall.

The Deal Train is Here

Hi there fellow bargain huntresses! This site is dedicated to deals I find in my frequent shopping sprees of all things affordable. I've seen so many great prices on items that I haven't been able to take advantage of, and I know so many of you out there would love to know about them!

In my travels, I've seen Betsey Johnson purses for $60 or Chacos for $20... even cereal that typically retails for $6 going for $1.50 (it was still good - I swear)! I want to share those finds with you. Hence my blog. Pas Cher ('not expensive' in French) Fare will bring the deals of Cincinnati and the web to you.

I'd like to start off with a great sale going on over at Newport News. Now, I don't typically shop there... just not my style. HOWEVER, I bought a bikini there my junior year of college for ten bucks, and it's perfect for laying out.

Scoot over there now! Suits start at only eight bucks... plenty of summer still left to soak up, and it never hurts to have an extra suit around - especially one with a little personality.
