2pm I'm sitting at home, on my day off, browsing through my emails and what do I get? A surprise email that states that the Tory Burch sale has opened early! I panicked! I wanted to be the first one at the sale so I changed my clothes and ran out of the apt and straight to the train. Once I got to the train I couldn't believe myself, did I really just leave my apt to head into the city for a sale on my day off? Yes, yes I did!

Thank goodness there wasn't a line since it was 90 degrees out. Inside I found some great pieces-lots of tunics and dresses, lots of sparkle and glam. I was very happy I made myself go, but wasn't too keen on the prices. I remember purchasing a tunic in the past for $75 and they were now $145! The shoes and bags were priced the same. The clothing seemed to be the only thing that went up. Totally worth going though.

Cupcakes for all!!!


Registering for a wedding is both fun and stressful. Stressful, since we don't have much room to hoard all the items I want but fun because you get to select all new things for your life together. Also, you have an opportunity to get items you would not ordinarily purchase. For example a Mini Cupcake maker!!! Think of all the parties I can do revolving around cupcakes. It's also a great gift for a housewarming party. Pass the coffee, please.

Fabulous Apartment

{via Curbed}
I'm not a big fan of the living in the city craze. I like my quiet area in Queens, NY; not too far from the city but not to close to it either. However, when I see such apartments as the one displayed on Curbed, it just gives me the urge to pack up my things and find an apartment on the West side. The article explains how photography plays a huge role when it comes to real estate. Check out the before and after pictures.

"There is something fun around your neck"



This weekend I will have to take a trip downtown with my good friend who is coming up from VA. Tom Binns has amazing pieces with glits and glamour. I could totally rock some of these with a plain tee and jeans or perhaps a wedding? =)

3 sample sales in one hour

Today, during my lunch break I ventured out to 3 sample sales: Tracy Reese, Charlotte Ronson & Francine. I have to say I was a bit disappointed on the selections.  I'm glad I saved my cash; Haute Hippie, DVF and Tory Burch coming up...

My first stop was Charlotte Ronson.There was a total of 4 racks. I was more impressed with their shoe selection than their clothing. There were very few pieces in this tiny space. There were about 15 girls at the event when I arrived at 12:10pm. I was out by 12:20pm with nothing in hand.
Label: Charlotte Ronson

When/Where: Wednesday, June 9 through Friday, June 11. Daily 10am—7pm. 1071 Sixth Ave at 41st Street, suite 301 (no phone)

12:23 I arrived at Tracy Reese. It was described as a must see event, I could not find anything worth looking at. It seemed bare and boring. Perhaps everyone came early and took all the good clothes?
Label: Tracy Reese
Deal: Over 50% off spring merchandise from Tracy Reese's main collection and her dress-centered offshoot Frock!

When/Where: Tuesday, June 8 and Wednesday, June 9. Daily 9am—7pm. 260 W. 39th St between Seventh and Eighth Aves (646-438-6928)
Finally, By Francine. The first time I attended her event was back in November during the Joomi sample sale. I love her pieces. They are so delicate and creative. It is definitely worth taking a look at. I was disappointed but I have to admit I was on a mission for a cute pink dress I saw at her first sale.
Label: by Francine 
When/Where: Tuesday, June 8 through Thursday, June 10. Daily 10am—7pm. Friday, June 11 10am-5pm. Elizabeth Gillett Showroom, 242 W. 38th St. 9th Fl.

BK Flea

FRIDAY: Brooklyn Bargains


I am making more of an effort this summer to branch out and take a good look at Brooklyn. I plan on visiting the museum, scoping the neighborhoods and shop! I've been hearing some fabulous things about flea markets in BK. Friday is the opening of the Greenpoint Flea Market & Bazaar, located in- and outdoors at the Greenpoint Reformed Church. It stays open till 8pm. Check them out on facebook...Greenpoint Flea Market & Bazaar.
