Update: the sale was surprisingly good. Tons of leather bags - little pouches, shoulder bags, messenger bags, priced around 50% off. 2 racks of womens clothing at 70% off (tops $25-40, thin cotton sundresses $45), and coats!

There is also a row of comfy armchairs for those less interested in shopping (ahem, husbands and boyfriends). It wasn't crowded, and I didn't have to wait for a dressing room. The racks are short on small sizes, but the sales reps are really happy to help you find stuff. Sale ends tomorrow.

Paragon Sports spend-more-save-more
If you need to go shopping, you might as well get a kickback for it! Paragon Sports is offering giftcards based upon spending thresholds ($100+ = $10 giftcard, $200+ = $20 giftcard, ... , $1000+ = $100 giftcard). No restrictions on what you buy, it just has to be in-store (18th St @ Broadway). Ends Sunday, Apr 26.
Me&Ro Mother's Day collection
This isn't a sale, but I did want to share this with you because, honestly, this ad gives me the heebie-jeebies. My first thought was not, Oh look at the gorgeous jewelry! It was rather, Wow that is a creepy Silence of the Lambs motif. So if you do indulge in some Me&Ro Mother's Day trinkets, make it special and present it with a side of fava beans.
Steven Alan outlet store, sample sale
So I finally had an opportunity to visit the Steven Alan outlet store going to/from the office and Columbia University (because honestly, I never go above 59th St unless it's to my vet on 66th/1st Ave, and those are extenuating circumstances in which I can't really go shopping).
I have mixed feelings about the store. First off, the prices are really fabulous. I saw a MM6 by Maison Martin Margiela loose dress for only $69 (alas, it was too big). I also debated a 3.1 Phillip Lim top marked down to $99. In the end I ended up with a classic Steven Alan button-down for $58. Like I said, the prices are remarkable. The selection, however, is not. It's an adorable little store, and from the looks of the bare shelves, well frequented! If you can catch them post-shipment, I would say definitely go. Other brands there: Loomstate, L'Autre Chose, and jewelry by Jennifer Meyer and Giles and Brother.
The very nice sales associate gave me the D/L on their upcoming sample sale. It starts the 2nd week of May at their downtown location. The merchandise will be mostly Steven Alan, although last year they had cute Gryson bags and boots. The discounts will be pretty good: think along the lines of the button-down shirts in the outlet for $58 which are sample sale priced. Last time they had a F&F preview the night before it started-- and they didn't check IDs. Basically, get there early before the good stuff's gone.

Hush jewelry sample/stock sale
If you are like me and have been thinking in this awful economy, when will the really expensive jewelry go on sale?, you need to sit up straight for this sale. This is not your costume jewelry sale. I have spoken to the sale coordinators, and on the high end, you should expect to see brands normally adorning starlets come Oscar-time. Think big. Mariah Carey big. Of course, not all the pieces available will be from household names, but I probably wouldn't show up without a few thousand to spend even though prices will be 50-80% off retail. Names that can be publicly released, just to whet your appetite, are Bvlgari, Boucheron, Laura Munder, and Salavetti. The sale is being hosted by London Jewelers and Windsor Jewelers, if you want to research-- just remember that some brands absolutely prevent anyone from publicly naming names.
Tip: the very eager can pony up $200 or $125 to beat the masses. Also, for obvious reasons, no bags allowed, bring your credit cards and picture ID. All sales final, so inspect everything carefully!
What: Hush: the insider's jewelry sale
When: Private evening sale: Wednesday, May 6; 5-6PM ($200), 6-8PM ($125); cocktails and hors d’oeuvres served and 50% of each ticket goes to Lighthouse International; Public sale: Thursday, May 7 - Saturday, May 9; Th-Fr 9AM-7PM, Sat 10AM-5PM

Favorite site: BeyondTheRack.com
BeyondTheRack.com is the latest big player in the growing trend of online sample sales. The company is based in Montreal, so Canadians should be psyched to finally get in on some good sales. They also ship to Europe as well! (You hear that, Gilt and Rue La La??) Past sales have included Rich & Skinny denim and Dior accessories, which pass my litmus test of 'are they worth mentioning?'. Upcoming sales, which are pretty exciting: Puma (4/21), Fila (4/23), Karl Lagerfeld sunglasses (4/24), Diesel mens and womens (4/30), and Balenciaga sunglasses (5/1). I've also been told that they are negotiating with some great brand names for future sales. BeyondTheRack is member-invite only, but don't you worry. Here's the hook up.

Next weekend they are doing special coupons to entice us to go spend money (a lot of +20% off coupons!). Just sign up to be a VIP (it's free).
RevolveClothing.com sale, Intermix sale
Revolve Clothing has put a whole slew of things on sale. If you like Ella Moss or Juicy Couture dresses, you can't miss this one. In related, more boring news, Intermix has put like, 20 things on sale. I am trying very hard not to do more shopping and save up funds for shopping on my summer trip. ! We're going to Seoul, South Korea, on a total whim due to the awesomely low fares on Singapore Airlines. I actually know very little about South Korea, so if anyone has been to Seoul and has recommendations for me, I'd love to hear them! I'm already planning on getting a new mobile phone and maybe a Samsung laptop...

A potential favorite site: TheOutnet.com
Net-A-Porter's sale site TheOutnet (get it? haha) launched today amidst much anticipation and fanfare. I think this site is going to give BlueFly a run for its money, since BlueFly's discounts on super designer goods isn't usually more than 30%. Sad, because I remember when BlueFly launched, and it was a gem of a shopping experience. Also, TheOutnet has all of NAP's fabulous brands, like Alberta Ferretti, Marni, Louboutin, and Miu Miu!
The Outnet is also doing these things called "Flash Sales" which will definitely conjure up comparisons to the ever increasing online sample sale sites. I missed it, but there was one today to whet the appetite, and apparently the items went faster than free t-shirts at a college career fair. The next one, featuring spring dresses, goes live next Friday, Apr 24. Mark your calendars, let's see what this site's got!
Bloomingdale's spring sale
Bloomingdale's is having their spring sale, in-store and online. Take an additional 25% off select merchandise through Sunday, Apr 19. If something you want isn't on sale, either head to Saks or hold on for Bloomie's F&F event, starting next Thursday (you'll get 20% off).
Barney's buy-some-get-some
Right now at Barney's get a gift card back when you spend $250, $500, or $750+. Ends Sunday, Apr 19.

Charles P. Rogers sheet sets, buy 2 get 1 free
I have looked longingly at Charles P. Roger's wooden sleigh beds for the past 3 years. These beds are rock solid, gorgeously hand-made, and exceptionally 'worth it'-- they totally kick the stuffing out of Pottery Barn's cheaply-made-yet-expensive sleigh beds, which feel flimsy to me. And although I haven't pulled the trigger on the Hamilton, I have bought sheets from them-- and they are fantastic. You can't beat the value: a palatable price for sheets that are probably just one notch below SFERRA/Bellino/Frette quality.
Right now you can even get 1 set free when you buy 2. If you are on a budget, you can't go wrong with the Pima sets, but if you are looking to splurge a little, I highly recommend the Candide sheets (and get both Chambray & Stripe b/c together it looks gorgeous!). Ends Thursday, Apr 30.
W Hotels warehouse sale +20% off
W Hotels is offering an additional 20% off their warehouse sale with code "F6VE7". May I recommend looking at some of the Abas clutches? I actually got this casual-chic pink Emma and the 'sassy croco' taupe full-frame which I think will be perfect for weddings. At $64-66 each (after discount), that makes it at least 68% off retail. And for those who rock it 80's style, this one is only $35!
The Warehouse Sale
The glorious denim event self-titled "The Warehouse Sale" is back in town. If you print the image below, you won't even have to pay the $5 entrance fee. Brands include 7s, Chip and Pepper, William Rast, Christian Audigier, Lucky, and many others, and they are starting off hot and heavy: buy 4 items, get 1 free. There will also be additional discounts on the last day (Saturday).
What: The Warehouse Sale
When: Thursday, Apr 16 - Saturday, Apr 18; 11AM-8PM daily
Where: Metropolitan Pavilion, 123 W 18th St (btw 6/7th Ave)
Gilt.com $10 off
InStyle previously ran promo with Gilt.com that gave readers a $10 credit to be used before a certain date. I believe it is still in action-- I did it yesterday and saw $10 applied to the Jawbone bluetooth headset I bought today (in pink, no less!). (My very reliable geek friend, who owns a convertible, says it's the best on the market at eliminating background noise. How can I say no to a testimony like that?)
Just click here and log-in, and you should have a $10 credit waiting for you upon your next purchase (provided it isn't expired).

Inhabit spring sale
Inhabit is currently having their spring sale, with some styles 30% off. I have the drape-front cardigan, which is the perfect piece to throw on when it is too warm for a jacket but too cold for nothing. It also just looks very luxe and elegant!
Tina Tang 35% off
If you need those perfect delicate necklaces or jingly bracelets to match your new summer dresses, head on over to Tina Tang and score some goodies for 35% off. Print out the email to shop in-store, or use code "LUCKY6" to shop online. Ends Sunday, May 31.
*If you are in the market for a new bag, Gold Label by Tina Tang (across the street) also re-sells designer handbags (I saw the Miu Miu bow satchel there as well as a Jimmy Choo clutch), most of them in great condition. Know your price points before heading over, as you may be able to negotiate.
Sephora 15% off
Sephora's response to Saks' F&F beauty discount? They are not taking it laying down, that's for sure. Starting today until Tuesday, Apr 21, registered Beauty Insiders can shop online with code "BD2T9CB5" or print out this coupon (PDF) and take 15% off the entire store. Not too shabby if what you like isn't carried by Saks or you have a particular affinity towards this LVMH powerhouse.
