I wasn't exactly sure how to come at the Woodbury Commons topic - so vast, so complex, so crowded...so off the New York State Thruway (exit 16). My main advice to you is this: call in sick at work and go during the week - and not on a holiday. There are buses and trains that go up there if you aren't blessed with a car or helicopter to call your own.
One of my favorite stores at this outdoor mall experience is Tahari. Why? Because I got this suit there (there's a knee-length skirt underneath this fab coat) for $239.95 - regularly $798 - for a savings of $558.05. However, I am having the darndest time finding the perfect top and shoes to go with it - see even the Guerilla Shopper faces tragic shopping adversity.
Looking back on my most recent journey to the WC in early September, I think my favorite stores are: Escada (amazing vibrant colors), Diane VonFurstenberg (a vast array of styles, much to my glee) and Ferragamo (talk about quality). There was another shoe store that I had never heard of called Pancaldi -- very European looking stuff; interesting. OK fine, I'll admit it! The Coach store too (the G.S. usually rebuffs such pervasive brands...but this brand has got it going on, tons of merch in here).

Another strategy is to hit the WC first thing in the morning. I recently woke up on Saturday and was one the 9am bus. Had a good 2-3 hours without crowds.
Laura - you forgot to mention the Barney's Co-Op, which rocks. I also got a truly wicked pair of patent leather platform stilettos at Via Spiga for, like, $60.
Another tip - register online as a VIP and get a coupon booklet at the Information Center. I felt really stupid doing it, but felt better when I got 25% off at Barneys.
