SAMPLE SALE: ALICE AND OLIVIA REVIEW

Stacey Bandet knows how to put a party into a dress. Her line Alice and Olivia are filled with beautiful party dresses that are perfect for this holiday season or any kind of parties. As I made my way through it's sample sale today, I could see all these glistening, shimmery beautiful dresses that would make any one smile in glee.

So there are two videos below that gives you an idea of what to expect. There were plentiful dresses and tops that included beaded, sequined, all sort of party dresses. The prices ranged from $69 to $199 for tops and dresses, detailed list image is below. The sample sizes were the real juicy part of the sale which was located towards the back end of the room. There were three different racks, one was priced at $29 with knits and casual tops, $49 for simple or lightly embellished party dresses and heavily embellished party dresses was for $99. There was an corner area of shoes displayed in range of sizes. It included keds, flats, heel, ankle boots and tall boots, ranging from $39 to $199. There were also sweater ($99), fur and outerwear ($299) and accessories (belts, scarves and beaded bags). 

The highlight of the sale was the sample racks which were disappearing really fast and regular stock of tops and party wear dresses. If you haven't picked out an outfit for coming holiday events and parties, then this is your place. Happy shopping!!

SAMPLE SALE: TORY MANIA

Tory Burch opened it's door today for some crazy Tory sample sale. Most women who attended this sale were interested in bags and shoes. If you are heading there for shoes, then you must know that everyone was handed a number ticket, and the number was called out which allowed you to gain access to the shoes section for 10 minutes. Prices for the shoes were as such, flats were $150, wedges, sneakers were $99, wedges were $165, booties were $200 and boots were $250. Some of the shoes were found online for high price and if you are not in for the crazy crowd today, then you should wait out for post Christmas sale at Saks and Bloomingdale's where you can find these similar styles for similar prices.

There was a large selection of handbags as well, pictured below to get an idea what to expect. There were number of racks for clothing which were less than appealing. There were cardigans, few dresses, one kind of tunics and plenty of t-shirts. If you are in for clothes, you might find something you like but nothing you will love. Happy Shopping!
