The sample sale situation has been a little drab since the holiday season but that will change soon. March usually goes in like a lamb and out with several roaring sales. We are most excited about the possible finds at Oscar de la Renta and that “multi-brand” sample sale that we scooped.
You will notice that we don’t usually list cosmetic and beauty products as part of our recommendations. Lines are often unnecessarily long and the sales are filled with resellers. There are enough inexpensive drugstore brands that you don’t need to stock up on 15 colors of eyeshadow just because it’s a sample sale.
We will be sure to keep you updated in this space. Feel free to ask questions and leave intelligence in the comment section below.
Roxanne Assoulin Sample Sale CANCELLED
Who doesn’t love Roxanne Assouline? The answer is easy. Everyone loves Roxanne Assouline’s stackable fun jewelry and we found out exactly how much last season. The lines to get into this sale were hours long. We suggest avoiding the long wait and shopping Moda Operandi’s end of season sale if you’re looking for deals on fun and fashionable jewelry.

Oscar de la Renta
Last season’s ODLR sale included a great assortment of almost all designer’s categories including dresses, gowns, coats, day-wear, skirts, furs, jewelry, belts, bags, shoes, kids clothing, and bridal gowns. Most items were priced between 70% and 90% off retail. Belts and jewelry were 80% off and some shoes were priced as little as $20. The best finds are always those that are current season. Click over to the post from the Fall sale for more details.

Multi-Brand Streetwear (KITH)
Throw the brands Off-White, Palm Angels, Heron Preston, Nike, and Alexander Wang into a sample sale and Kith is the only logical origin. We haven’t received confirmation that this is officially a Kith sample sale but our inside sources won’t deny it either. Last season’s similar sale flew under the radar. The discounts were 60% off but there wasn’t a lot of merchandise from the headlining brands. We have a feeling that there will be more this time around and the crowds will be bigger too. How cool would it be to find something from the Versace or Tommy collab. A girl can always wish. Proceed with caution.
