Fans of high-end designers like Comme des Garçons, Yigal Azrouël, Gunex and Martin Margiela had best flock to Grethen House's biggest sale of the season. Its 70-percent-off sale on all fall and winter goods kicks off this weekend, and the timing couldn't be any better for fashionable Minnesotans -- we still have a couple more months of sweater weather ahead.

Classic clothing with a modern twist is a hard combination to get right. But Anne M. Cramer, whose namesake line debuted last fall, seems to have a knack for the balance between timeless and on-trend. The design upstart plans to expand to a full line next fall, but this spring you can satiate your appetite with her new Flynn skirt, an Audrey Hepburn-esque horizontally-striped A-line skirt available as of February in a rainbow of colors.
