Surely by now you’ve realized what a jackpot the Valley is when it comes to discount shopping. In my opinion, we have the most fabulous outlet center in practically the whole world right at our doorstep: Woodbury Commons. So take advantage of our incredible proximity to this discount mega center and load up on brand name items that have been hugely marked down.
Not within desirable driving distance of the Commons? There are a bunch of other outlet-esque stores throughout our region, like Marshalls, Loehmann’s, TJ Maxx, and DSW. Though it’s true some of the merchandise at these shops can be from previous seasons or slightly defective, I can proudly say that I have, on a handful of occasions, found perfectly manufactured, in-style pieces – that I got for about half the price of their retail value.

A native of Rockland County, Assistant Editor Liz Stein has had a passion for both writing and shopping since before Clueless came out on video, and is thrilled that she can combine the two in her blog, Valley Vogue. In her free time, Liz enjoys reading, cooking, learning Spanish, (dreaming of) traveling, playing the violin, and brushing up on her French, for when she ultimately moves back to France (where the shopping is très bon!). Her favorite stores include, but are not limited to: H&M, Anthropologie, Zara, Guess, BCBG, Urban Outfitters, Sephora, and Nordstrom.
