Jill Jill Stuart
Wednesday, April 15th through Friday, April 17th
10am—7pm daily
550 Seventh Ave (btwn 39th & 40th St.), 24th floor We are huge fans of Jill Stuart’s main-line brand and are often puzzled why the designer hasn’t opened a store on Madison. Besides being closer than traveling to Soho, this sale is poised to be a lot more affordable. We are told that prices will be up to 80% off retail. The stock is primarily women’s sample size dresses but there is a a small selection of open stock.
After a long bitter Winter it’s about time we let our toesies take a deep breath of fresh air. For Summer 2015, designers are still pushing Birkenstock-like sandals, flat-forms and even Teva-inspired styles but our favorite are lace-up sandals.
These cagy lace-ups tend to make your gams look longer and leaner. Gladiators on the other hand, are only wearable by featherweight goddesses who tower above us mere mortals. Our favorite of all the lace-ups is a version by Isabel Marant. It’s the perfect mixture of naughty and nice.
There are lots of other great styles, click through the lookbook above to see more than 15 great lace-up options ranging in price from $200 to over $1200.

It might seem counterintuitive but when confronted with a sale like this we prefer to spend an extra 10% and have the luxury of returns. That is, unless you’re sure of what you’re buying. Hurry, this sale ends midnight on Tuesday. (Good thing is that you always know there will be another soon.)
Ralph Lauren is running a sales promotion where you can save 25% off all your purchases until April 8 with the code GIVE15. In addition, the company is giving 10% of the proceeds to Pink Pony, which supports women’s cancer or the Ralph Lauren Center for cancer care and prevention.

The good news is that the discount will afford you additional savings off already discount merchandise. Be sure to check out the RXL collection and customizable polo collections.
