Just in time for fall, all jeans are 20 percent off through Sunday at Scout & Molly's at North Hills. And that includes the denim brands Joe's Jeans (including the popular black Muse), Hudson, AG, PRVCY and Pur.

That's just a taste of what's up for auction Thursday night at the Scout & Molly's Bike MS cocktail party at the Pavilions at Angus Barn.

Lisa Disbrow, who owns Scout & Molly's, is the throwing the bash to help raise money for multiple sclerosis. As many regular customers to the boutique may know, Lisa was diagnosed with MS last year and is passionate about raising money to help find a cure. (More on this later in September. We're writing a story about Lisa's journey and her fight to help find a cure.) And part of that effort includes spending the last six months training and fundraising for the Bike MS race in New Bern Sept. 12-13.

So far, she and the Scout & Molly's team have raised more than $21,000, and they're hoping to raise even more Thursday. Tickets are $100. And it looks as if they've secured some pretty nice auction items. In addition to the chance to play with Francis and Rutherford, you can bid on a Slane & Slane necklace from Elaine Miller, Judith Leiber eyewear from The Spectacle or a piece of jewelry from Reliable Loan.

The party gets started at 7 p.m. Cocktail attire is encouraged, especially for the ladies, because, as Lisa explained, we don't get enough chances to dress up in a pretty dress.

This late winter sale won't last too much longer than the freezing temps, though.

All Winter sale merchandise at Scout & Molly's will be between $25-$40 today and Wednesday.

So if you're in the market for a new coat or pair of boots, you might want to stop by. They marked down to $40.

What a great way to stock up for next winter!

I don't know about you all, but if I have to wear this black turtleneck one more day this year, I'm going to scream!

So it gives me hope when I get e-mails like the one I got yesterday from Scout & Molly's in Raleigh's North Hills saying spring merchandise is finally here and it's already getting marked down. The store will have everything in the store, including all spring pieces from Nanette Lepore, Tibi and BCBG, marked down 20 percent today through Saturday.

Plus, you'll get another 10 percent off already reduced clothes.

Wow.
