Posted by The Editorial Desk / Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Good morning, shoppers! I’ll tell you what, it can be difficult to decide just what to share with you each day. So much is happening in the wonderful world of shopping that I could seriously write about it all day! Fact is, I can’t do that, however, as duty calls; and I’m sure it calls you, too. So, here is a little shopping smash-up that will help get you up to speed in between tackling those to-dos.

Of course, as always, if there is some shopping news you can’t wait to share, please do so below!

Okay, here it goes, in no specific order, shopping news you need to know now:

Soon you could spy George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp and Will Smith in area Bloomingdale’s stores!

Piperlime.com now sells apparel, including designer jeans, in addition to their amazing selection of bags and shoes. Given that the site regularly hosts sales, not to mention style advice from Rachel Zoe, I’d certainly keep it on your radar.

Speaking of designer jeans, Paige Premium Denim is hosting a private sale, featuring up to 50 percent savings on its amazing styles, including uber-stylish maternity options. If someone’s still looking for anniversary ideas …

D.C.’s legendary Harriet Kassman boutique is closing soon and is therefore offering previously unheard of discounts on its designer duds, including up to 50 percent off extraordinary wedding gowns.

And, finally, the Tysons Adidas store is throwing an in-store soiree of sorts this Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. It’s to feature a DJ, breakdancers and graffiti artists who will be on hand to customize shoes for those of you so inclined.

Happy shopping!
