After a very quiet summer of no swoon worthy sample sales, the Mulberry sale is just the kick we need to start the sample sale madness. We love this brand for many reason especially for it has British sophistication with modern edge. The sale will bring goodies at 70 percent discount with undoubtedly long lines of British label fan.
It feels like a long time since last YSL sale. However, since the revival of the brand with the new name, Saint Laurent as they call it now, is hosting another sample sale this month. The sale will bring you all the goodies that we reported last time and the time before (please click on the link provided to read reviews on the previous sales). Gear up for long lines and a very busy shopping room of YSL hoarders.

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.

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!!

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!

In the wake of hurricane Sandy, most of the businesses in New York were effected by power outages and flooding. After a week of utter chaos, lower Manhattan seems to be gaining it's power back and we can all try to put Sandy behind us (of course are prayers are with those who are severely affected). Some of the luxury retailers who were scheduled for the sales either have rescheduled or cancelled. However, a few such designers such as Alexander Wang and SFERRA are continuing the sale as scheduled. So here are the details of upcoming sales.

Paris just got even more romantic. The love for red soles are being showcased all over Paris. The 'indies' patent (image 1) is displayed against the Port Alexander III, 'love me glitter' pumps (image 2) are placed against the bank of Notre Dame and 'Farida Bowler' bag with 'Lady Troop' black (image 3) boots against the fountain of Trocadero. How dreamy, this makes me want to jet-set to Paris right away.
