Attention Bargainistas: Nordstrom Rack Sets up Shop in Framingham

If there’s one thing that I know about, it’s where to shop for clothing bargains. As a former Nordstrom employee, I was so excited to hear that Nordstrom Rack is opening a new store on Thursday, April 8 in Framingham.

Though not as well known in the Boston area, Nordstrom Rack has become a widely respected destination nationwide for deals and steals. While I wish it was more accessible to downtown Boston, Nordstrom Rack’s location in Shopper’s World is one more incentive for a designer deal hunting jaunt. Add in the temptations found at Marshall’s, T.J. Maxx and DSW and there’s a good chance that you won’t come home empty handed.

Filene’s Basement Running of the Brides Charges Through Hynes Convention Center on Feb. 19

Running Brides By Kirsten 79, Flickr

On Friday, February 19 at 8:00 a.m., brides-to-be will gather their girltourages and elbow their way to marked down wedding dress glory at  the Filene’s Basement “Running of the Brides.” This year, the stampede will take place at Hynes Convention Center, where famous designer gowns will be on sale for $249, $499 and $699 respectively.

Excited brides should be careful not to get caught up in the moment, as dresses are not returnable. Apparently Filene’s Basement only sells wedding dresses during this annual event, and not throughout the year. While the morning run may be better targeted to more adventurous brides, Filene’s notes that the morning frenzy has moved out by by 10:00 a.m.

Hynes Convention Center is located at 900 Boylston Street in Boston’s Back Bay. For more information about the event, please visit: http://www.filenesbasement.com/bridal.php
