I apologize for leaving you news-less last week things were pretty crazy. I will make it up to you with tons of online sales that you can shop right now! So... shop it up!
Maybe it's because during my mature responsible adult daytime hours I spend my time working at one of the largest American Maritime Museums to finance my after hours shopping, I am attracted to these nautical themed items that are everywhere this summer. Like this anchor necklace and this Primp anchor tee. I suppose if I put it all together I could have a crazy themed outfit to wear to our next big event.
Looking for a good way to kick off summer? Here's one... the Girlshop Sample Sale! I am so excited. It starts tomorrow and goes till Saturday. During the week it's from 12-8 and Saturday from 11-6. All items are 30 - 75% off retail. Including stuff from Ingwa;Melero, Yumi Kim, AKA New York, Charlotte, Cusp, Marie Marie, Ani Bags, Eve Lynn, LaRok, Eberjey, Lulu Guiness and much more including stuff for guys and tots. 119 W. 23rd (btwn. 6th & 7th), 8th fl. Remeber purchases under $100 are cash only, then cash credit or debit for anything over.
Much thanks to Alex for bringing this to my attention... LUSH, one of my fav places to get yummy smelling soap and such, is having an event this Friday from 4-8 at one of the stores in the city, 2165 Broadway (btwn. 77 & 76) to be exact. Head on over there and take part in the concocting of diffrent bath combinations throughout the entire evening. Ever wonder what an Avobath with a Melting Marshmallow Moment smells like? Would you guess Pink Lemonade? Who knew? Bonus: when you purchase $35 worth of stuff (not hard) you will receive a great goodie bag! Be sure to RSVP... 212.787.5874 or email 656broadway@lush.com.
If you can't afford the hefty $735 price tag for the Christian Louboutin Bruges, or just can't find them. I have found the best less expensive version, AKA knock off, at Urban Outfitters. They even come with a red sole! Only an extremely discerning eye will be able to tell the difference. Everything in black is back-ordered and most sizes in tan but buy them anyway because this is a web-exclusive item and at $110 a better steal than the original (of course) or the Steve Madden rip-offs, as well.
Starting today there is a 65% off Kate Spade sample sale. Don't fret workaholics, it's online, so you can browse the selections right from the comfort of your own desk. But like any good sample sale it's only lasting a few days so don't forget first come first serve, and you can get the best pickins.
Summer is officially here in a week and if you haven't booked the flight yet you will soon be planning the vacation of a lifetime... or something like that. And if you really need to pack that massive rolling black luggage for your island destination the least you can do to save yourself time and stress at the baggage claim is buy one of the styling luggage tags by Loop. My pick is the Disney Chesire Cat, he will compliment my Loop metallic blue chicken perfectly. I guarantee, from experience, you will be able to spot your bag no problem. If your in NYC, check out Century 21 they normally have them on sale for around $3 a pop, I can't gaurantee the Disney one's will be there though. I say what I mean and mean what I say.
I thought the Manolo Blahnik candle was the most ridiculous home item by a high end fashion designer I had ever seen. And these Louis Vuitton dice came in a close second. But, in the end I think the Gucci ice trays might really take the cake. Most ridiculous thing ever...
I see Nicole Richie is checking out fabric samples for a new dress in which to sashay down the red darpet at her next event. What? That's not it. Then what is it? No way. I don't believe you. Bikinis huh? Tons of itsy bitsy bikinis. Talk about choices.
A big thanks to Lyneve for the email she sent me about the Intermix summer sale. I was browsing through and they have some really awesome deals for whatever your looking for. Tops, bottom, shoes, handbags... you name the designer and they probably have it. My picks are this Goldenbleu handbag, any of these Chloe shoes, plus tops from Norma Kamali, Catharine Maladrino, Mint, Ella Moss, and bottoms from Chip & Pepper, Seven, Citizen's of Humanity, Theory, and Lotta Stensson. Have fun wasting your time away at work and finish off your summer wardrobe with these great deals.
This is probably one of the coolest things I have ever heard of. The Crumpler "Beer for Bags Sale." It is taking place in NYC starting tomorrow running till the 11th. Basically spin the wheel to see what kind of an exchange you can make then haul the booze over to Crumpler and pick up your brand spankin' new bag. Here are their participating locations in the city:
