If you are having a lazy Martin Luther King Day here is quickie errand you can run, while hopefully, not running up too large a bill on your charge card:  Yes, it's another Soiffer Haskin sale.  Today, tomorrow (Tuesday), and Wednesday (the last day).  Stuart Weitzman (one of our favorite shoe manufacturers (because, yes, we wear a size 10.5 and nobody makes that size, but we can always find something at Weitzman that fits just right and is stylish, too).  And Krizia, too.  And we don't need to embellish about Krizia, do we? 

We're not sure just what this sale is promising today, but we're going to check it out later and we'll report from the front.  It's allegedly supposed to have Gucci and Pucci…and Chanel and Hermès.  We shall see just how much of each of these houses it actually has for sale…and for how much off.  The material sent to us by our friends at Lazar Media says that there will be clothing and accessories at 75% off.  Stay tuned for tonight's report.  But in the meantime, here is what you need to know:  It's today and tomorrow, at the Shoreham Hotel, 33 West 55th Street (between Fifth and Sixth Avenues), Ground Floor; from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.....credit cards accepted.

Celine, the French maker of fine quality small leather goods, as well as handbags, shoes, and tailored, tasteful accessories, is ending a sample sale today…and if only we'd had the two seconds to post it yesterday.  But, you have until 3 p.m. tomorrow, Thursday to make it there, to get yourself to the company's offices (at 19 East 57th St., 8th floor, 212-931-2120), to take advantage of the huge savings on the luxury goods.  Bring ID to get into the building and a credit card to pay for your bounty. 

Maybe you lusted after the Chanel “Naked” bag, but just didn’t want to spend $895. Maybe you bought one of Target’s two-in-one bags, with the clear outer tote and the cotton, printed-floral inner tote, for a remarkable le $10.49. Regardless, you cannot have escaped the trend this season for clear, clear, clear plastic, vinyl, PVC, whatever. They are everywhere...and we really love them. Coach has a beauty, too…but the two we think are the best (the Chanel one is just too small, anyhow, so who needs it?), are from Furla and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (yeah, really).

Despite last week’s hail storm (beware the Ice of March!), the nip in the air today, and the slush puddles at every curb, it’s Spring. At least that’s what the calendar proclaims. We know it’s a paltry offering, but we hope you can take some cold comfort in reading about springy stuff for the next day or so, as we share fleurs and printemps.

When we think of Pierre Deux, we think of those signature textiles, evocative of the French countryside. They have a distinctive feel, colors, and motifs and are instantly identifiable. They bear names like Avignonet, Indianaire, and Maianenco. No sooner do we conjure up those fabrics, we next think of those wonderful tote and market bags, satchels, and generous duffels, all made with those fabrics, and for which Pierre Deux is well known.

Newest to the Deux famille of fabric and bags are the Pauline bucket bags, bedecked with an oversize, uncharacteristically large floral print against a calming azure or pistachio background. We love the sturdy leather handles, the perfect sizes (priced at $78 and $120), the compartments. (On the left in our shot is another style in bold stripes, dubbed a "beach bag.") Grab them while they are in stock, as they were manufactured in limited editions and could be gone by the time you start to book your first jaunt on the Jitney. 625 Madison Ave., 212-521-8012; www.pierredeux.com
