Whether you still haven’t done your taxes, owe Uncle Sam a hefty sum (so not fair), or just didn’t get back as much as you know you should have, it’s safe to say that tax season isn’t exactly the most beloved time of the year. (Unless, of course, you’re General Electric.)  But there’s a little silver lining on the cloud this year. For the first time ever, Fred Segal Santa Monica is offering shoppers a full week of tax-free shopping on EVERYTHING in the store from men’s and women’s denim, sunglasses and shoes to dresses, shirts, handbags, watches and everything in between. Sounds like a little retail therapy is in order … now if only they’d drop the prices by 50 percent.

Friday, April 8th-Friday, April 15th @ Fred Segal Santa Monica — 420 Broadway & 500 Broadway, Santa Monica, CA 91405
