HAUTE list

>> Sunday, April 26, 2009


Both dangerous and practical -- you can shop designer discounts without ever putting on pants -- Billion Dollar Babes has put its national sample-sale tour online. Now customers can sign up at billiondollarbabes.com to shop three 48-hour sales each week. Typical Babes merchandise is discounted between 50 and 75 percent from original retail price.

Here is the exclusive list of the upcoming sales (you won't even see this info on the Babes' own site!) Post readers get hooked up -- $25 off of a $75 order when you enter "NYPOST" at checkout:

Today: Jenny Han; Tomorrow and Saturday: Denim of Virtue; April 27-28: Betsey Johnson; April 29-30: James Jeans;May 1-2: Sweetface; May 4-5: Oliver Peoples; May 6-7: Melissa Odabas; May 8-9: Trina Turk

Office space: Just like Topshop London, which plays host to a smattering of other-brand shop-in-shops at its flagship location, Topshop SoHo plays host to Office, a longtime UK fashion-forward footwear favorite that's making its debut in New York this season. Office is best known for its something-for-everyone collections, ranging from athletics to casual sandals to the highest, smartest, edgiest platform stilettos. For summer, we've got a hankering for these Wonder Woman-ish "Hold Me Back" sandals ($150), and we're partial to the classic charm of the "Peep Under My Quilt" pumps ($160). Office at Topshop: 478 Broadway; 212-966-9455. -- additional reporting by Alisa Wolfson

Supersize me: Here's an interesting way to deal with your money problems without letting your skin suffer. June Jacobs is offering all of her 32-ounce salon-size products at wholesale prices. Get them at junejacobs.com.

Creamy Cranberry Cleanser: Was: $201.14, Is: $68

Green Tea & Cucumber Body Balm: Was: $238.81, Is: $77

Grapefruit Purifying Shower Gel: Was: $143.28, Is: $46

Roc this way: Pop over to Brooklyn and into Rocawear's pop-up-shop-in-a-truck parked at Flatbush Avenue and Pacific Street. The traveling store is making its final stop before taking the summer off (it's open today through May 2, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.) and is the only place you can get the brand's chic Bella Roc collection of casual tees and tanks ($45-$200) and luxe jackets ($225-$300). The best part? Everything is 25 percent off.

Sequin jacket: Was: $300, Is: $225

Leather bomber: Was: $400, Is: $300

Chain tank: Was: $200, Is: $150

Kick it: These are not for running, jumping or exercising of any kind, except maybe your best model-walk up Madison Ave. Yet we love YSL's pretty and pricey new pairing with Puma, even if we'll have to beg, borrow and steal to score a pair. Perhaps taking a cue from other super-pricey sneakers -- Lanvin's cost $540 to $565 at Barneys, and Kanye West's collection for Louis Vuitton is rumored to be $840 to $1,140 -- the sleek $595 "Police Pearl Suede Degrade" high-top is YSL Creative Director Stefano Pilati's first-ever co-branded project. The shoes hit YSL boutiques this week.

Lucky you: Join Lucky magazine, Becki Newton from "Ugly Betty" and makeup artist Edward Bess at Bergdorf Goodman on Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. for mocktails, cupcakes and a free fashion event on 5F. Bring your favorite item from seasons past, and a Lucky stylist will make it current by pairing it with a selection of spring accessories. Like the look? They'll even take your photo and make you a personalized fashion flip book. Shoppers are also encouraged to bring a gently worn item of clothing to benefit the Lower Eastside Girls Club.
