Alas, the Filenes in my neighbourhood as been in “everything must go” mode for a while – however the store is a complete mess. Mayhap stores in the city (as opposed to our urban location) will be better organized and less messy. Good luck!

So sad about Filenes. Extremely interested in the Ebay/Rebecca Minkoff collaboration. I love her stuff. Love the video,hope I find CLs book under the Christmas tree this year lol

Not feeling Paula as a cover girl model. I think they could have went with a better photo. I can’t remember the last time I purchased something from Filene’s basement that wasn’t returned before the 60 day limit…

@sunkissed Please note “could have went” is not correct in the English language. Could have GONE is the proper usage. Just saying!

LOL @ Grammar Police!
I haven’t stopped by Filene’s in years. I’m sure I haven’t been missing out on much, though.

I hate the grammar police. People, it’s a comments section not a thesis paper. Anyway, no to Paula Patton.

Big yes to Paula as a cover girl. Big no to the promo shot. I blame CG for that boring photo.

I live in LA, and love Filene’s Basement. I need to travel somewhere near a store, preferably Boston or NYC before it’s all over. I will definitely miss shopping there.
November 4, 2011 4:02 pm
I couldve sworn they closed before.

That photo shoot was fun, loved the shots. Hmmm I wonder if the Filene’s Basement here in DC is worth a shot? A gurl needs to build her professional wardrobe.

Nooooo! Filene’s Basement no-o-o :’(””
