Walking into Bird is very, very dangerous. The hot Brooklyn boutique is one of those stores that your bank account loathes—there's rarely a dress, necklace, or pair of shoes that doesn't get our heart going bump, bump, bump. Chock up the enviable offerings to owner Jennifer Mankins, who's got an eye for, well, everything. So, consider the danger-zone increased tenfold with Bird Cobble Hill's third annual Jennifer Mankins' closet sale next Tuesday, where you can actually browse through her personal wardrobe, and peep (and buy!) her favorite pieces from past seasons at crazy, crazy reductions. Oh, and did we mention the wine, plus 20% off ALL full price fall merchandise. Look for slighlty or never-worn clothes and shoes from designers like Phillip Lim, Isabel Marant, Dries Van Noten, and Rachel Comey. Uh, Jen, our wallets hate you right now.
