While spring time in New York this year has felt more like a dreary November day that won't let go, the weather forecasters are promising that summer will indeed catch up with us. Soon. Seems like we're skipping past spring. With Memorial Day just ahead, we're thinking about finally putting away those winter clothes, sprucing up our summer wardrobes, and firing up the grill. We've got some great tips this week on
summer tees,
designer sales, and the only
marinade you'll ever need. And for serious NYC designer
bargain hunters, we've got a web site you'll love, where you'll find great tips. Like Saks is already selling Spring 2009 merchandise at 40% off; Barneys to follow suit next week. Read on.

Great summer tees 
Our shopping guru,
Kathy Fahy says, "Tees should be a core piece of every tomatoes summer wardrobe......the tee or tank that makes or breaks your fabulous outfit! They are a must have category and essential to cleanse and rejuvenate every season." And some of her favorite tees come from
The Gap for $10.

The other Vogue in town
If you're like
The Three Tomatoes the only time you actually peruse Vogue magazine these days is when you're getting your pedi. And forgive us Anna, but our life does not require one single item from your pages to make us happy. We don't have your $200,000 annual clothes allowance, which actually, doesn't seem to make you very happy either. But if we can get some of those items at fabulous discounts, well that's anther story. Which is why we're loving
The Vogue City, which will keep you up to date on the latest designer sales and tips in NYC, and online, plus restaurant deals, and much more. Read more at
3T Shopping.
