Did you know that there’s less than a month left of proper summer? It’s true, but don’t fret. While the warmer days are winding down, thoughts of holidays and gift shopping should begin to excite you. Egg nog? Spiced lattes? Santa? Cozy fires? Boot season? Yes, please!

This week’s roundup of Don’t Miss Sample Sales contains both end-of-summer bargains (Cosabella swimwear, anyone?) and autumn must-haves (leather bags from Jack Germain and outerwear from USE UNUSED may appeal to your senses). Enjoy!
