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.
