The Barneys Warehouse Sale kicks off this Thursday morning in Chelsea. Some tips on shopping the sale, from The Choosy Beggar: "Before purchasing, note where a product was produced. Go with a wish-list so as not to become overwhelmed. Know your measurements!" We prefer to run in, grab up anything that appeals to us like a magpie collecting bits of tinfoil, and retreat with our pile to a relatively calm corner, but that might not be the best strategy.
