The recurring motif in this week’s roundup of sample sales is variety. Not just in the sense that each sale offers something different from the next, but in the sense that there’s a lot of different things available at each venue. We highly recommend bringing a friend or special someone to these events, as we’re sure there will be plenty for both you and your guest. If you don’t find a tag-a-long, perhaps you can at least go shopping with a few people in mind. Hmm… it’s never too early to start that holiday shopping.

This wonderfully mild and sunny weather is the perfect treat for mid-August, a time when we’re usually whining about humidity and suffering from heatstroke. Enjoy the cool temperatures, and soak up your last days of summer. Begin mapping out your ultimate city escape for Labor Day — don’t wait until the last minute! Once your bed + breakfast is reserved and rental car booked, jet on over to the hottest sample sales this week from Alexander Wang, Barneys, Bird and Michael C. Fina to scoop up your wardrobe for your final vacation of summer.

Michael C. Fina Ring Sample Sale

If you like her then you should put a ring on it. Blast those wise words from the pop princess Beyoncé this week, and put the idea in your man’s head to attend the Michael C. Fina Ring Sample Sale for the ultimate gift. Engagement rings and wedding bands will be on sale for up to 70% off beginning Tuesday, August 20^th, in addition to the diamonds that will be on hand for personal customization. Last August during their annual sale, we found more than simply a fabulous selection of rings. Diamond encrusted tennis bracelets were on sale ($1,404, orig. $2,340), as were cute anchor pendants ($339, orig. $565) and more traditional pieces for up to 40% off.

Alexander Wang Sample Sale

To all the downtown fashionistas out there: Tuesday is a day of celebration, and should be considered a holiday. If there’s one day to go in late to work this week, it’s Tuesday, in order to be among the first in line for the Alexander Wang Sample Sale on Greene Street. Beginning at 9AM, and just in time for chillier weather, Alexander Wang will slash the prices of his Pre-Fall 2012, Fall 2012 and Resort 2013. We’re talking up to 70% off for apparel and accessories. Expect to find Wang’s signature leather satchels for $350 and chiffon tops for $275. Last August we found T by Alexander Wang shirt dresses for $35, $160 chunky patterned sweaters and $180 statement dresses. Sky-high boots were also on hand for as low as $170. Most racks are broken up by price, allowing you to jump right to your personal price limit in order to commence sorting. Due note that although credit cards are accepted at this sale, last year required a $200 minimum for charging.

Barneys New York Warehouse Sale

It’s back! Making a first time appearance at the Metropolitan Pavilion on Thursday, the Barneys New York Warehouse Sale re-debuts a block away from their original location, for up to 75% off designer clothes. Although the Barneys Warehouse Sales are not what they used to be, they are still worth a trip or two to dig for those diamonds in the rough. This past February during the final Barneys Warehouse Sale at their 255 W 17^th Street location, we snooped around to unveil treasures such as Proenza Schouler Wood Wedges ($629, orig. $1,580) and $250 Manolos. At this August’s sale that lasts through Labor Day, expect to be beat out by the boys. While womenswear will be available and on sale, most merchandise will consist of menswear.

Bird Annual Warehouse Sale

If you crave cute aesthetic in your ambience and a great selection of designer wear in your shopping, then make sure you include a trip to Bird’s Annual Warehouse Sale in your weekly itinerary.  Up to 70% off will be deducted from the retail prices of women’s merchandise at the Bird Sample Sale beginning Friday. Expect to find APC color denim biker jeans for $59 (orig. $250) and Demylee cashmere Rory striped boatneck sweater for $79 (orig. $270).

This week, hearts are fluttering, arrows are flying, and those with a sweet tooth are squealing with glee in anticipation for Valentine’s Day this Thursday. New Yorkers’ reactions to the heart shaped holiday are across the board: Some simply love to be wine and dined, others enjoy a low-key night with their sweetie, while some shun the Hallmark-holiday all together. Whatever the case may be, if you’re shrieking over your new jewels, munching on chocolate truffles, or hiding under your pillow in your favorite sweats waiting for Friday to come, at least take the time to indulge in some good ol’ classic splurging this week as we celebrate our one true love of shopping together.

Sample Sale Alert: Orange

IF Boutique Basement Sale

The semi-annual IF Boutique Basement Sale is back on Wednesday in SoHo and ready for action. For lovers of avant-garde fashion, this is the sale for you. With up to 85% off clothing, footwear and accessories from edgy designer brands such as Junya Watanbe, Dries Van Noten, Maison Martin Margiela, Rick Owens, Common des Garcons, and more, it’s almost guaranteed you can’t go wrong. Last year, Ivan Grundal’s pieces were the majority, while tops by Comme des Garcon averaged around $200, down from well over a thousand bucks a pop.

Barneys New York Warehouse Sale

It seems The Stylish City’s speculation in regards to the question, “Where, oh where did the sample sales go?” was in the ballpark, as exemplified by Barneys latest sale tactics. In late January of this year, WWD reported that on February 4^th the now live off-price web site Barneyswarehouse.com would launch in a permanent fashion. If you can recall last year, Barneys presented a similar website to shoppers to go hand in hand with their infamous Warehouse Sale, which in turn trimmed the crowds at the typically jam packed Chelsea location.

This in turn is not good news for fans of the physical Warehouse Sale. WWD goes on to claim that after Barneys February Warehouse Sale beginning on Thursday and lasting through the 24^th, future sales will be located a block away and “merchandise will turn heavily towards men’s.” Translation being: This will be the final Barneys New York Warehouse Sale as we know it.

Although the current selection on Barneyswarehouse.com doesn’t give us much to go on, for nostalgia’s sake, be sure to visit the beloved physical sale one final time before it leaves us forever.

jumelle Sample Sale

Last year’s jumelle clean out sale in Williamsburg impressed shoppers and it expects to do so again this time around. The small boutique filled with our favorite high-end designers, mixed with up-and-comers, offers an eclectic array of downtown fashion. This year, jumelle Sample Sale is advertising up to 75% off such collections from Alexander Wang, Electric Feathers, Isabel Marant and more. Last year, T by Alexander Wang pieces were discovered for $75, while $180 landed you a pair of Dieppa Restrepo lace-up boots and bins were on hand with $25 and $50 offerings.

United Bamboo Sample Sale

Lifestyle brand United Bamboo is holding a two-day sample sale beginning on Friday on Centre Street. The art inspired designing duo, not only incorporates creativity into their unique cuts and innovative fabrics, but also through projects such as artistic designed T-shirts and compilation CDs. The sale has been noted to offer steals, such as sample shoes for as low as $40, as well as jersey knit cardigans for the same price and denim for $50. This is a true blue same sale, so be prepared to do some sorting and initiate careful examinations on samples and merchandise from not only United Bamboo, but brands Creatures of Comfort, Tess Giberson, and Auntie Oti as well.

As Valentine’s Day concludes, we sincerely hope that if you’re not left with chocolates gifted with love, you, at the very least, are left with a new pile of clothing purchased at rock bottom prices.
