LA Residents Only: Tax Free Weekend @ The Blues Jean Bar

The Blues Jean Bar (one of my favorite places to pay retail), is participating in Montana Avenue's annual tax free weekend.

Although I'm always in the market for a new pair of skinny jeans (JBrand and Nobody are my current faves), I'm still financially recovering from my drunken shopping spree at Bellefleur - a legit lingerie boutique I was introduced to while I was in Seattle.

Chantal Thomass at 70% off. What else do you do?

"Tax-free" sounds especially intriguing right now considering that as of April 1st, California now leads the nation with the highest sales tax rate at 8.25% (not including county add-ons. Yeah, we're fucked in LA). However, I don't know how sympathetic you can be towards California. After all, we did let this guy run things.

I hate to break it to you, but sales tax went up to NINE.25% on April 1st... 8.25% is what dreams WERE made of in this state, a long time ago...

9.25% is what we pay in LA with county add-ons (an extra 1% for Los Angeles County Transportation Commissions, LAME)

8.25% is the CA base tax rate before county and city add-ons.
