Shopping Simplified: Shopkick App
Posted by alexandra / Thursday, August 18th, 2011
Hello, shoppers! This week’s Shopping Simplified is about the Shopkick app: a must-have for Android and iPhone owners.
www.shopkick.com
This app allows you to find exclusive, must-have deals at great stores, like Macy’s, Crate and Barrel, Target and more. Select your fav stores and Shopkick will keep you posted on everything going on there.
But here’s the kicker (pun intended…). If you visit any of the app’s partner stores, even if you just check-in without buying anything, you earn great savings, ranging from cool gift cards to free movie tickets and more.
Seriously, all you have to do is walk in to any one of the stores (a few more examples? Sports Authority, Wet Seal, Best Buy), wait a few seconds with the app open, and then leave with new rewards!
The points you collect are displayed in “kicks.” The more kicks you have, the more rewards. You can unlock iTunes gift cards, restaurant vouchers, gift cards to your fav stores and tons more.
It’s super easy to earn kicks and reap the benefits!
Happy Shopping!

On July 29 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., “Macy’s Chefs A-Go-Go” will be rolling into Eastern Market in D.C. as one of the many cities it plans to stop at during its nationwide tour. This is Macy’s first national food truck tour and will showcase a different chef from Macy’s Culinary Council at each stop. At the stop in the district, the food truck will be featuring Chef Marcus Samuelsson who will be cooking up his signature dishes. (No word on what those signature dishes are yet, but you can find out some possible recipes he may be using here.) In a nutshell, Samuelsson is the executive chef and owner of Red Rooster Harlem, won the “Top Chef Masters” title in 2010, and is the author of a few cookbooks as well as one iPad app.
What is the best part about this event? Everything Samuelsson will be cooking will be given out for free. Yes you heard me, free. However, Macy’s will also be collecting donations for Feeding America®, a domestic hunger relief charity, so please donate what you can.
On top of free food, attendees can also receive a free gift at each stop with the following steps. “Like” Macy’s on Facebook, or follow Macy’s on Twitter and the Macy’s Culinary Council on twitter and tweet using the hashtag #macyschefs. (While supplies last.)
Here is the address for anyone who is interested in attending:
Eastern Market
225 7th Street Southeast
Washington D.C. 20003
For more information, please visit the event website here.

A Cornucopia of Cool Shopping Opportunities

BB Dakota Indigo Blue Marsh Jacket, $70 (chickdowntown.com)
Good morning, shoppers. In an effort to help you have a very happy Hump Day, here’s a little rundown of all of the retail news you need to know now.
We’ll start with sales …
Through 11:59 p.m. EST tonight, you can save 35 percent site-wide at chickdowntown.com with the code “FALL35″ — the all-together awesome site’s biggest sale of the season.
Big-time savings are just waiting to be snagged at Lord & Taylor, too, during the store’s Friends & Family Sale, going on now through Sunday, Oct. 25. Use the code “FRIENDS” to save 25 percent off almost everything online and this coupon to receive the 25 percent savings in stores.
Another store in on the sweet sale action: Urban Outfitters. To take advantage of the store’s Private Sale online, featuring 10 percent off, use the code “BFF” at checkout.
You can also grab beautiful bargains at Macy’s, that is on fashions for the fellas. The store is currently hosting a Men’s Wardrobe Sale, which allows shoppers to save up 25 to 50 percent off plus an extra 20 percent discount on regular, sale and clearance-priced men’s suits, suit separates, sweaters, blazers, sport coats, pants, topcoats, rain wear, coats, dress shirts and ties. There is also an extra 15 percent discount on all men’s shoes. Available in stores and online.
And tomorrow it will also be time to snag serious savings at Calvinklein.com. During the site’s Friends & Family Sale, Oct. 22 through Oct. 25, save 30 percent off absolutely everything with the code “FF1009″.
There is also some smokin’ new inventory to scope out soon. A few examples:
Well, unless you’ve been living in a bubble, you already know that Apple unveiled a new iMac yesterday that is nothing short of extraordinary. Yup, they just keep getting better and better.
Looking for fierce fashions instead of or in addition to beautiful technology buys? Hysteria in Alexandria now carries super-cool frocks from Skunkfunk. (Speaking of Hysteria, help them celebrate their new neighbor, The Shoe Hive, now bigger and better than ever, by buying some shoes there tomorrow. When you bring in a Shoe Hive receipt to Hysteria, Hysteria will give you a 15 percent coupon which you may use on any purchase at Hysteria through Dec. 24.)
Given the cooler temps ahead of us in the coming months, I also suggest checking out the new inventory at Alexandria’s Bloomers, and not just the store’s super comfortable and stylish lounge and sleep wear but also its new Commando hosiery.
And, finally, shopping is about to get better in Arlington …

Exciting New Exclusives at Major Retailers
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Friday, August 14th, 2009
Good morning, shoppers. Love discovering spankin’ new merchandise? Of course you do, so you’re really in for a treat.
Already in Stores
If you love Rachel Roy’s designs but can’t afford the fashionable frocks, you should love the talented designer’s new capsule collection, “Rachel Rachel Roy,” offered exclusively at Macy’s. As you’ll see for yourself, each item costs less than $150.
As for those of you always on the hunt for some just-right jeans that don’t cost an arm and a leg, you may now find exactly what you’re seeking at Gap. That’s thanks to the store’s new premium denim line, “1969.” Here are the options for both men and women. You’ll see that everything in the line is currently $20 off. (Speaking of jeans, if you’re 21-years old or older, make sure to enter Martin & Osa’s “Denim Fit for All Sweepstakes” for a chance to win a $1,500 gift card!)
Debuting This Weekend
Tomorrow, Aug. 15, Nordstrom is unveiling an exclusive line of tees, fleece and dresses from U.S. manufacturer Jen’s ideas featuring designs by Artist Todd Parr, well-known for his best-selling children’s picture books like “The Mommy Book,” “The I Love You Book” and “The Peace Book.” Similar to his books, the apparel (designed for boys and girls, ages 18 mos. to six years) utilizes Parr’s bright, quirky images that not only tickle any kid’s funny bone but expose children to meaningful messages like preserving the environment. Fortunately for Parr fans, the Tysons store is one of a select few chosen to sell the line.
Can’t wait to see the looks? Here’s a preview:
Planet Color by Todd Parr, available at Nordstrom (Alan Weissman)
And, finally, Saks is rolling out a new fragrance on Sunday. The floral oriental scent from Parlux Fragrances and designer Josie Natori, best known for her gorgeous lingerie designs, is named Natori by Josie Natori. The fragrance opens with a bouquet of fresh rose petals enriched by deep, dark plum notes; features a heart of ylang ylang, purple peony and night-blooming jasmine; and finishes with black patchouli, amber and a hint of satin musk. Natori says of her namesake scent “For me, this fragrance is a journey like no other,” explaining that its essence evolves from the body to the soul of a woman. See if you agree next time you scour the cosmetics department.
Ps. Kate Spade fans, don’t forget to check out her new clothing line — so fun!
