I know we’re still in the heat of summer, but anyone who’s in tune with the fashion world can definitely feel the seasons changing. With fall and winter clothes starting to hit the market, lots of this year’s spring and summer merchandise is being marked down in a serious way.

For example, Yumi Kim, Samantha Pleet and Katherine Hooker are all feature clothing from their spring and summer collections at their sample sales. This week’s roundup also features super discounted jewelry from BaubleBar and some stunning evening attire from Brigette Schwenner.
