Don't Miss Sample Sales from Rachel Zoe, Lauren Merkin, Bulgari, Lord & Taylor and Deux Lux

In case you didn’t notice, there’s certainly an uptick in the amount of sales happening right now. That includes NYC sample sales, as well. People are eager to retreat from their house and explore what the outside world has to offer, so all that extra spending — smartly prompted by gung-ho retailers — should come as no surprise.

With so many sample sales happening simultaneously, it’s easy to get caught up in (or overwhelmed by) the excitement of it all. We suggest making a list of sales you want to hit, items you need to buy — and, consequently, items you do not need to buy — and then hit the town.

Rachel Zoe Sample Sale
