What is this, retailmenot? (No, but y’all know that you should check that and other coupon sites before buying a single thing online, right?) Anyway, we happened to get our hands on a 30 percent off coupon for the Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic, where they’re going big on the gay military-dictator look for late summer (left). The coupon is good in-store only for four days: Thursday July 30 to Sunday August 2. Five percent of your purchase price to Teach for America, which employs earnest college grads who used to go on to become corporate lawyers and now stay in the classroom because all of a sudden it’s a great gig to have. Here’s the coupon.

Warning: this post isn’t for everyone. But if you’re a designer-label obsessive and you still have disposable income (congrats!), get to bed early tonight. Tomorrow, starting at 8 a.m., is the first day of the biannual Barneys Warehouse Sale, which is the retail scrum of the year for bargain-loving fashionites, with clothing, shoes, accessories and housewares marked 50 to 75 percent off.
Bargains being a relative term, of course. Last year, on a magazine mission to find Christian Louboutins at the sale, I scouted a pair of red patent ankle-strap stilettos for $310 (originally $780), white patent wedges for $260 ($625), and camel slingbacks for $230 ($625). And so on. There were also loads of Miu Miu, Prada, Lanvin and YSL shoes, also for less than half the original prices. Read the rest of this entry ยป
