Our favorite children’s store, LOL Kids, is hosting a blow out sale where the entire showroom of samples will be 50% off of wholesale. In addition, current season boutique merchandise will be 50% off of retail.

The best part is that Madison Avenue Spy readers have been invited to shop the sale early and take advantage of snatching up the best selection and the best discounts of the season. You can get yourself on the private sale list by emailing us here.


Sample sale brands include, Florence Brands, Miss Grant, Sylvian Heach, Aston Martin, Sarabanda and Ki6. Forget about your Gap coupons. We are telling you that these prices are going to be amazing. For example, Sarabanda tops will be $12 from $55 and Miss Grant dresses will be $63 from $280. And that’s for finely made European clothing.


Over at the front of the store you will find Monnalisa jackets at $170 from $340, Miss Grant dresses at $106 from $212 and Sarabanda boys and girls separates starting as low as $19.

Few sample sales are more fun than the Diane von Furstenberg sale. That is, unless you show up at the wrong time. Today we hit twice and it was a tale of two cities.

Our first visit was early, during the press preview. The sale’s atmosphere was relaxed and the crowd was limited. Merchandise was still coming in and our favorite $50 sample rack had not even arrived.

Later in the day we were greeted with a double line of shoppers waiting to get in. Once inside, dresses were flying, hangers were catching and women were crowding. It was not the ideal shopping situation. The line for the dressing room was over an hour. On the bright side, the sample sale rack was well stocked and ripe with great finds.

As one can imagine, over the course of several years we have created a huge personal inventory of DVF clothing. Recently, however, we have been attracted to the brand’s bags and accessories. The bags specifically are designed to please even the biggest Celine/Hermes snob but have the added attraction of an affordable price. If you’re looking to pick up a gift for a hard to please fashion girl this is absulity the place to go. Prices are below.

Wraps and Vintage $250
Dresses $125
Cover Ups $100
Skirts $80
Blouses $80
Samples $50
Scarves $70
Small bags $200
Beach totes $60
Clutches $100

A man who wears french cuff shirts has instinctive style but buying a gift for such a fashionable guy may be the toughest task of the season. Fear not, we found the perfect present for your fashion minded man.

Blake Green carries cufflinks that even your male connoisseur will faun over. Every piece  is hand made in New York by expert craftsmen. All of the designs are made of solid sterling silver or gold and features a combination of precious and semi-precious stones. There is no question, this is a gift for a man that appreciats quality and attention to detail.


Prices range from $250 for the Nuuk, which is sterling silver set with vibrant green chrome diopsides to $3000 and up for those made of 18k gold. In addition, Blake Green offers customized, hand engraved and bespoke orders so that you can truly create a personal piece of expression.


The only question that remains is how your man is going to top a Blake Green pair of cufflinks. Matching earrings perhaps?
