Post-Christmas

More sales, and sales on sales. As per usual Salebite has a good list, but one notable sale is 40% all clothing and shoes online at Beklina with code 40clothshoe. I like, from above, this Electric Feathers shiny top, $54 (was $360!); this amazing rope-patterned Hui Hui blouse for $174 (was $290); and this Rachel Comey sweater, $132 (was $440).

Socks

Generally I prefer to avoid socks at all costs, but I have gradually made exceptions for Hansel from Basel. They are having another warehouse sale, where socks and tights are up to 85% off. I have the scallop crew socks, $3 (were $18) and the wool rib tights $7 (were $36). Note: the tights run small.

Sample Sale Time

Four of my favorite stores and brands are having sample sales in New York this week, and, needless to say, I'm not there. First up is Creatures of Comfort Wednesday December 12 and Thursday December 13, 11-7, at 70/80 Kenmare St. between Mulberry and Mott, and Rachel Comey, Wednesday 10-8 and Thursday 10-6 at 268 Mulberry St. Next is Loeffler Randall on Thursday and Friday December 13/14 from 10-7 at 525 Broadway. And last but not least is Opening Ceremony on Friday and Saturday 11-8 and Sunday 11-7 at 76 Mercer St. For those of us not able to partake, Opening Ceremony's online sale section will be 60% off tomorrow, Wednesday, and Creatures of Comfort will undoubtedly begin its online/in-store sale, which generally reaches 70%, sometime soon. In the meantime I feel your pain.
