There are sample sales, real sample sales and then there are the true warehouse clearance sales that offer the true bargains. Right now, shoppers can find a huge (HUGE) assortment of La Perla merchandise all discounted 80% or more. The sale boasts everything you love from La Perla at a price you can afford to really stock up.

This warehouse sale, featuring La Perla, is fully stocked with bodysuits, bikinis, sarongs, shoes, bras, panties and everything you can think of to fill your lingerie drawer plus a large selection of beach and pool items. The best part is that the prices! Bras are $40 each or you can choose three bras for $100 (normally $140 to $500), babydoll negligees are $40 each (normally $600 to $1300), beach sarongs and coverups are priced between $25 and $40 (normally $300 and $1300) bodysuits and shapewear are $40 (normally $300 to $900 retail).

You can head this way to see pictures from inside the sale. Shoppers can take advantage of two downstairs fitting rooms. You will not be disappointed. Take note, the atmosphere isn’t very fancy but after shopping, you will still have enough money left over for a fancy romantic dinner. The savings on a negligee can afford you a nice dinner at Stone Barns. Seems like a reasonable (and enjoyable) trade-off to us.

Summer shopping can be difficult, especially when the weather is nice and the beach is calling. One-stop-shopping is the way to go. Wearhouse, in Great Neck, is the premier destination for fantastic designer merchandise for amazing prices.

Starting Sunday, the boutique is hosting a huge sale where Naeem Khan, M. Missoni, Valentino and Red Valentino will be discounted from 50% to 70% off. The massive retail space is essentially a designer outlet with all the furnishings of a high-end boutique. There are helpful salespeople and even a tailor on premises. This is the place you go to find real couture pieces for elaborate events, a demure cocktail dresses, polished work attire and even some elevated casual wear.

We suggest you take inventory of your upcoming social calendar and plan appropriately. Who wouldn’t rather have real Valentino than a designer imposter from Zara? Keep an eye out for a great selection of eye-popping Rockstud shoes and bags, which we find nearly irresistible. (Unfortunately, the closet does not always agree.)

You can click through to see some of the amazing pieces that can be found at Wearhouse. The best part is that phone orders and shipping are available. So, you might not even need to take your feet out of the pool to get the designer items you’ve been lusting after.

Chanel’s first markdown becomes official on Thursday but lustful shoppers might be out of luck if they didn’t take advantage of presale. We are told that availability is already running low at many of our local stores.

Don’t worry, we contacted our informants and did some investigating. Over in this link, you can find lots of pictures of additional Chanel sale jewelry, shoes, scarves and even a bag. (There is a little inside secret about buying Chanel necklaces. If you’re looking for a great price opt for a belt, they are usually much less expensive and often look great as a when worn around the neck.)

From what we can tell, we would suggest contacting a salesperson at Bloomingdales if you are still on a shoe hunt. You can also contact various out-of-town department store Chanel sales associates. We included some of our contacts below the post. Click back to our previous Chanel presale post and a prior post about how Chanel will proceed with sales at their boutiques.

The Internet is full of discounters but very few sites offer the designer merchandise you really want at great prices. Amuze is a true exception. This online designer boutique just launched a sale of brand new Valentino bags that we’ve never seen on sale.

Over this way, you will find the newest VLTN collection and other rarely discounted Valentino bags reduced by 40%. Here is a VLTN studded black tote discounted to $1995 from nearly $2900. The same style bag comes in white and a black & white combination. The best part is that you can use the code Lila5 at checkout to save an additional 5% off your purchase, which will partly defray the expense of NYC sales tax.

Other bags that are in the sale include, a cross body studded camera bag that’s $950 from $1640 and a crossbody Rockstud hobo is $1595 from $2375. You can click over this way to see the entire selection of discounted Valentino bags.

While you’re shopping on Amuze, we suggest that you also check out the men’s Ferragamo sale. Classic crown bit loafers are discounted to $395 from $660, oxford lace-ups are $450 from $750 and this moccasin is $600 from $995.

Everything on the Amuze site is guaranteed authentic and can be shipped worldwide. The best merchandise, like those VLTN bags, tend to go very fast. We suggest you get clicking and don’t forget to use the code Lila5 to save an additional 5% off your total purchase.
