Happy New Year stylish readers! By now you’ve nursed your hangovers and have lunged head first into your New Year’s resolution, therefor now it’s time to embark on a new mission — the wonderfully gratifying task of redecoration. As you tear down the holiday décor, take a peak around your home and pick out the rooms or corners that could use a pick me up. Need a collection of tchotchkes for your shelves, or perhaps an area rug to make your living room pop? Well this week you’re in luck with sales from Brika, Bloomingdale’s Rug Warehouse Sale, Shoe-Inn, and Circle Showroom.

Brika Sample Sale

I’ll be honest; I didn’t know a whole lot about Brika before today, but after getting lost browsing their website, which is chock full of crafty décor and artisanal finds, I immediately fell in love. The newly launched Toronto based marketplace has a community feel in the same vein as popular sites as Etsy. Beginning Saturday, Brika will host a pop up sample sale inside Free & the Brave at the Paramount Hotel on 46^th Street, where they’ll offer 30% off handmade goodies, clothing, jewelry and home goods. If that’s not reason enough to visit, The Couveteur has collaborated on this sale to create six different closets including her, him, little ones, the foodie, the home and a zodiac themed closet.
