This weekend is BUMPING with sales. I guess retailers want to give you shoppers a chance to indulge in savings without the crowd and stress of Black Friday. Jordanos’ pre-Thanksgiving sale is going on NOW.

From the good folks at L.A. East:
FINALLY, the singles night is here!
Friday November 20, 7:00pm at our Ballantyne store (it’s super easy to get to and there’s more room there) If you’ve never been to the Blakeney location go to www.laeast.net for easy map and directions.
The vote was very evenly split, so if this one works well, we’ll do another mid-week event at a later date.
We want this event to be fun & light hearted, so no sales pitch, no boring wine seminar, just good time with friends and future friends to be!
L.A. East’s Ballantyne location is located at 9852 Rea Road. Call 704-341-5962 for more information and to RSVP.
The good folks at chezElle have marked down their sales area down to 50 percent off. And through the weekend they are offering a “Buy one or more sale items, get one full priced item at 20 percent off” deal too. Fun stuff!

It wasn’t until we started this blog did I become aware of how intense the sneaker culture is. I’ve been through Black Sheep and Niche and was aware of the type of products out there, but it wasn’t until Klepto was bombarded with comments from sneakerheads over an interview a writer did with a local shoe connoisseur that I became aware of the passion those involved in the sneaker culture really possess.
To further solidify my belief in that there are indeed people with vast respect and worship of the sneaker, here comes an event I’m sure will attract a whole slew of sneakerheads: The second annual NC Sneaker Summit.
Sponsored by local spots like Black Sheep, Flava Factory and Velocity Style, amongst so many others, this event brings you the opportunity to really see kicks that you just won’t find at Foot Locker. KT, one of the founders of the events, says one of his goals with the Sneaker Summit is to help people become more aware of the sneaker culture. “Just like ladies with purses, there are counterfeit purses out there everywhere now, you know. It’s the same concept with sneakers as well,” he says. “People are selling bootleg sneakers for $40, $50, and a lot of times kids don’t know the differences. It’s obviously hurting the business and the shoe market and also a lot of these mom-and-pop businesses that are opening up around North Carolina. It hurts me to see these kids with Air Jordans with Spongebob on the side. They don’t know the difference. They’re like, ‘Oh, I got a unique pair of shoes’ but, no you don’t … those are just counterfeit sneakers — why would you support that?”
Last year, the event drew in over a thousand people in Raleigh, and KT expects the number to grow.
This year the Sneaker Summit will be held at the Metrolina Expo. You can expect to see businesses and collectors displaying their merchandise — most likely things you won’t be able to find at your local mall — live entertainment, artists and more. Raffles will be drawn at the top of every hour, and there will also be a special $20 raffle for the chance to win some very rare sneakers, valued at around $600.
The admission price is $5, which includes the price of your raffle ticket. For more information, check out their Web site.

It’s the season for giving, people, so go and clean out your closets to donate your gently used clothing to The Pink Hanger’s Project Give & Take, a clothing drive for the Crisis Assistance Ministry. As an incentive (but surely you don’t need one of those, do you?), for every item you donate, you can take 20 percent off the purchase of an item in the store.
More incentive: Tomorrow night TPH will be hosting a launch party for the drive. Sip on wine and champagne and enjoy baked goodies from The Sweetie Pie Bakery. AND for every donation at the launch party, you can take an additional 5 percent off the purcase of a new item … that’s 25 percent off for giving to charity tomorrow night. You can also enter a raffle to win a $50 gift card to TPH, a pair of Bishop Jeans, a free mat class from Pilates With a Twist, a mani/pedi from Ballantyne Nail Spa, and more.
The clothing drive goes through Saturday, Nov. 21. For more information, click here.
